Yea sure, I understand. What I mean is, when you look at the course of their careers and their consistency or lack thereof, you can tell which way their careers are likely to end up. For me personally, I think this stint at Juve is Gio's last shot at living up to his well documented potential. If he fails this season, for me his career will probably be somewhat similar to Miccoli's if he stays in Italy, and if he goes international, to the Epl or La Liga, then a bit like Robinho.
I hope it works out for Gio though coz I feel like he got the short end of the stick during his time at Juve, before Parma came along.
