criscito is an interesting one for me and it is the prime example of a young, talented player being thrown in the deep end. I dont want what to happen and to certain degree nocerino, to happen with gio.
I don't necessarily agree with the degree of caution that Ranieri is handling this case, but i kind of understand his reasoning. Last year we didn't blood any young players into the team, even though that was one of the main methodologies of the new regime due to some errors in judgment in some cases imo.
To a certain degree i am content with gio not playing due any of the reasons said around here except for the contract one. If he is being benched for not signing the contract than we are making a huge mistake, because we are losing his loyalty which is hard to get this day of age.
