Well, ill be kind but im pretty sure others will not be so much. DP, at the very least, was much more skilled than gio in his younger years...and that was easy to spot.
About Gio,What you said "could" have been valid 2 years ago or so.. but now, Conte tried and tested Gio in the position he wanted him to play...and since he didnt delivered... he fell in the ranks. And it seems thatwith Conte, once he sees you as not good enought.. u are a bench player at most..and maybe a rotational one if u get lucky.
Its sad because i had high hopes of him.. but is plain obvious he doesnt work as a SS in our team, and needs to be tried somwhere else... but then theres the problem of his physical frame etc.
As a winger in the 433 he could work or sure and in fact i would like to see him playing there. Maybe next year if Berardi comes and Conte wants to try this formation,,, he could be useful. But i seriously doubt that moment will come .
