Wasn't this guy a winger originally? When he started getting minutes he was dribbling and took risks. Now he looks like Sandro. I don't get why the only ones that even try to dribble are basically McKennie, Chiesa and Yildiz. Rabiot and Kostic do the flick and cross but yesterday it was basically only McKennie trying to get past his man. Kostic has been underwhelming for a while now and since Cambiaso is interchanging positions with McKennie on the right side, the left flank is open for grabs but Jr is really not even trying to take it. It's hard going from 0 minutes for half a year to suddenly start games, I get that, but either his confidence is freezing cold or his head has been filled with Allegri's low-risk-low-reward approach.
If a good bid comes along, let him go.

I think shitting on him after the coppa game was harsh, he looked more rusty than incompetent. With more consistent playing time I think the performances will be more consistent as well. If he had the leash Kostic has been given we may not have to worry about that position anymore.
I also dont think its a coincidence Chiesa plays better with Iling. His ability to play more central (thanks to the experience he got there last season) gives Chiesa more space to operate. Same with Cambiaso. Kostic just clutters that wing and doesnt compliment Chiesa at all.
