If he has a poor season we're just keping him and hope for a better one next term.
Iturbe has just had a poor season with Roma, but he's still young and they will give him the chance to try again this season. If he gains confidence and plays well he's back to his price-tag sooner then later, and everyone will praise the deal.
Likewise I dont understand all this disbelief in Dybala. He has shown what he can do and his level of play is pretty obvious. Let him do some trickery and score a few goals and everyone will hype him upwards "the new Messi" in a few months.

The thing is we all judge him on the his performance for palermo but playing for Juve is a totally different ballpark. First of he still has the advantage of getting more room because his team itself does not dominate games like us. So he will get the ball more often in his own half on the break with lots of space to run into. It is different if we play and have the opponent sitting deep against us. He gets the ball on the corner of the penalty box with one direct marker and another one doubling up with not much space.
If performance was comparable between scrub clubs and us giovinco would not have failed so hard.

And this is exactly why Dybala is a greater player then Berardi. Dybala has the skills to play exceptional for a team in possession, while Berardi might be a lot better playing on the contras. It's really hard to judge these two players as they're both very young and unproven at highest level of football, though you can argue Dybala has the right skills to play for the dominant team, while also being able to hit on counter attacks.
The point I was trying to make was that giovinco played for empoli and Parma in formations we wanted to play him in as well. He was good for empoli and Parma but that never translated to similar performances for us. Saying it was the wrong formation or position for him is a cheap excuse because we saw him perform well as second striker for the minnows and guess what... giovinco does not play winger for Toronto but performs. I think I got a pretty strong case here. Playing well for a scrub team that does not pin back every opponent domestically and the expectation to place 6th in the league is a different thing than performing for us.
The way he played for parma was very different from what we asked for him in juve.
He was very bad for ss in a 352, and our tactics were not about attacking anyways so he was isolated.
And how many seasons and switch of places he needed? A lot. He was given the chance.
Im not saying gio was good. But he was used in wrong places.
