Does he look that good?
Have you watched him much?Players are not as good as their videos but videos are only as good as the skill of the people who make them. And this video is horrible. The first three minutes are just him running into open space, and not even that well.
I'd recommend watching other videos on there for starters. I see this guy as a huge talent but not a finished project. My fear with Serie A --> EPL transition is keeping with the pace and he's one that definitely could. I see his biggest asset being his creative passing--watch (in another video) how many different ways he moves the ball into attacking positions and catches the defenders off guard. Also hard to tell in highlights but seems like he's got a pretty decent work rate to him which is always mandatory for Poch.
I think he'd make a great back up for Alli as well as a dream option in our rotating attackers.
so Taarabt?No. He looks a complete show pony. Long runs with the ball only to eventually lose possession. Spectacular looking shots from distance that end up either missing the target or being easy saves. i have enough frustration in my life already without having to shout angrily at this guy .

His biggest asset is his movement for me, he has a very good work rate for sure. He just isn't quite good enough yet and there are big question marks regarding his attitude and career progression which suggest he may never really fulfill his talent.
He wont really come to spurs though I don't think. He turned down Juve after all (at a time he was in much better form), and though that might just be because he is an Inter fan I think he also wants regular football. He wont get that at Spurs.
His next move should be to European football hopefuls. Like a Milan, Fiorentina or Lazio. He could also have a fair crack at Roma now Salah has gone. Inter is an option but they have Candreva and its unlikely that Berardi will break through that.
Ultimately though, rumour is Sassuolo will not sell for under £35m. If we are looking at Italy I think there is better value elsewhere, so does everyone else which is why no one is biting yet.
May I be the first to say, he is an absolute monster for me on Football Manager and I will, therefore, cry if we don't get him
Football manager legend (I may even have posted that in this thread before but can't be arsed to check)
What a dick. Think I might be the worst poster on this site
not bias as I am Italian and love all italians players and closely monitor most of the talent but Berardi is not a spurs level player
Would you concede that he has raw tools though, that if harnessed correctly, could result in a great player ?
Stats don't tell much of a story themselves, but combine the raw tools with the decent volume of goals and it isn't too disimilar to Son. Son had put up decent numbers for a few years in Germany, but when we bought him, those that had watched him most stated that he was not the finished article and that he would take time to become fully effective for us.
We aren't necessarily desperate in attacking midfield for a person that must immediately be a complete player. Yes we have some injuries there but I'd very much take someone talented who is good enough to be in rotation and offers some pace and goals , with the potential to improve and become an important player in 1-2 years.
Just a thought
Berardi's stats actually flatter him really, he is a talent, he could be very good. But his valuation is too high (£30m) and there is better value in the market.Would you concede that he has raw tools though, that if harnessed correctly, could result in a great player ?

According to transfermarkt, juventus sold him for 8.5 million in 15/16I thought Juventus bought all of his shares and now plays for them..?
Yeah, I read that too, but now after he began to score and proven that he is capable of of 15+ goals a season, they bought him back.According to transfermarkt, juventus sold him for 8.5 million in 15/16
Okay, Juve were co-owners of Berardi until 2015 were they sold his rights as part of the Zaza deal. However, they agreed on a clause which meant Juve could buy him for £25m, Juve activated that clause, Berardi said no and stayed in Sassuolo. The clause expired at the end of last year.Yeah, I read that too, but now after he began to score and proven that he is capable of of 15+ goals a season, they bought him back.
