Not quite sure what that is aimed at...The fact that we kept him at the club when he was not yet close to regaining full fitness suggests we do value his potential, and rather than ship him out to be nurtured back to top gear by lower quality medical and coaching staff, we kept him with out seniors and top class staff...Not exactly signs of a lack of regard for the lad.
I can't see why he would give up on Italy, given it was his career move and rather than bad form, or a failure to compete with the seniors, misfortune with a nasty injury was to blame. He should pick up where he left off, perhaps Brescia will take him back again. he was a regular first team starter before his injury last season.
