Wait, so you're basically calling people idiots for comparing him to Del Piero yet you're basing your opinion on him by the same unreasonable expectations the fanboys did? Why not evaluate his performances on your own expectations instead of the fanboys?
Gio was hired as a striker not only to score goals but also because he offered something different that would gives us an edge in the offensive side that we didn't have: a fast attacker with good technique, good on 1-on-1, good passer and good finisher (a game changer if you will). As far as I see he has not fulfill those jobs the way he should.
Juve is a big team, in any big team your star strikers cannot have less/equal offensive stats and game relevance than your DM...I'm sorry but that's just unacceptable, no matter how good the DM is. Also, as many others have pointed out, his goals and performances have not been game changers/deciders. He is a gifted striker, he should be a factor in every Juve game and I feel he has not been important so far in "our success", and he should since he has the potential to do so. Pogba has been ten times more of a game changer/decider than him in his first season with the team and coming from the bench in a MF position.
I think this is a problem with all of our strikers, not just him. Now, the difference is that he is the young skilled gunner who was hired to put new fire to the squad, and he is not doing it, so it's obvious who will take the shots. Specially if he is a solid lineup and Conte is circling 2nd strikers around him. And it shouldn't be a matter of team formation or tactics, we have practically tried them all in 2 seasons with him and a guy with his background should perform well under any scenario.
If this was Udinese, I would probably say screw it, lets give him time to flourish and he will eventually become the top striker we all hope and need before we sell him (lol). But this is Juve, we are not a cashing machine, we play for gold and we have a mentality of winning & building solid teams. Time is ticking and if we want the #31 and also fight for UCL we need the top striker now, not in 1-2 years. Ya dig?, that's the whole reason we are switching strikers everytime and are so eager looking for strikers in the market because we still don't have what it takes to be a top team. You just need to look at the Anelka situation to understand why would we sign and old striker for 6 months.
Now my hate is 90% because he was so over-hyped (by fanboys/media) to the point of retardation that he actually bought it, so now is practically mandatory to point when his arrogant ass fails. The other 10% is because he is a mythological dwarf and I hate his pree-teen fapper face.
