I know what I'm gonna get for saying this, but meh. Gilardino is crap. He scored 4 goals against Udinese the last day of the season, and all of the sudden, everyone's like "Whoa man! This dude's awesome." I know for sure that he would crack under the pressure from fans, and thus, wouldn't meet the expectations that were set forth by the fans, coaches, team-mates etc... This would lead to him getting loaned to a team like Chievo or return to Parma on loan.
