he is 25 and have just had one good season, ppl should be critical gio, also considering the last time he was here, and the things he has said. He wants guarantees and a starting spot. Thats looser mentality to me.
Its not nitpicking, he has NEVER been good at a top team.
We dominate games, and counterattacing is not a big part of our play. We play possesion football.
Yes you are nitpicking. You are bringing up small things without any facts at all to discredit him as a player.
The last time he was here he never complained and respected the order. He's not asking for a guaranteed starting spot, just to be in the plans of Conte unlike the last years in Juventus, sounds fair, don't you think? Also he didn't fail and overall had a lot of great games and produced a lot of chances for his teammates, I'd say thats good enough in a top team from a bench player.
Also, why does it matter if he has produced in a big team or not? Usually, players have to play in a smaller team before impressing and getting signed by a big team. With your logic, we should only sign expensive players who have impressed in top teams. We could look at it from another angle and say that Giovinco lead his crappy team almost to the Europa League. He took that team on his shoulders and did a great job as their offensive leader. Thats impressive as hell.
Counterattacking or possession football, he's good in both. If you've seen him play you know he's good with the ball, creative and has a very high football IQ.
