I dont see any exceptional qualities in Berardi atm.Plus the fact that most of his goals have come in bursts as opposed to scoring consistently every game or two over the course of the season.This is why he needs to remain at his current club where is morale is high after a very good season and perhaps gradually he can find consistency and refine his game even more if he claim a place in this Juventus team.
Makes zero sense bringing him back here so soon.And funnily the ones who want him back will be calling for the poor kid's head if he has a bad outing in an important game.
Just look at how Pogba gets criticized here.
Excellent points made here.
See, the absolute peasants who compare Berardi to Del Piero, are actually also comparing to Pogba. Both Del Piero and Pogba were showing impressive talent, and did show it in every game they played. Their talent was so incredible, that they were drafted straight into the first team.
Berardi, as The Cusp is saying, is far from that. Where were all these peasants when berardi didnt do anything for like 10+ games in a row ?
Indeed, berardi is scoring in outbursts, multiple at a time. As long as he cannot consistantly show talent, he will not be able to compete for a first team place and
is wasted trying to get on the bench
At a smaller team on a loan, he can keep playing games, and get consistant, or learn to be usefull in every game even when not in top form.

Could be the formation.
Its the defensive liability that is increasing, and we are very prone on the counters, and Marchisio got outplayed by Pogba so he lost that defensive cover.
It becomes more easy to mark pirlo out of games, and most of the 2014 games, pirlo was only vital on free kicks. Wich is very nice. But 2011/2012 pirlo was vital in everything he did. Even after we changed to 352.
Reality is that in 433 having a regista means the two cm's need to play deeper, and cannot do their pressing work as well, cannot make as many forward runs, and you end up having the CF getting crowded without central support.
If you place a cdm or covering cm, then your btb cm's can both go press high and make forward actions all the time, supporting both wingers and cf.
Imagine Pogba and vidal close to the box, and then suddenly a counter. Who will stop it, Pirlo ? With 2 cd's instead of 3, chiellini cannot just burst forward or he leaves a huge gap to exploit.
Nope, you need something to cover the cm's. And cheesio is excellent at it.
