I'll never understand why he wasn't given more chances. He had everything we lacked up top. He was very fast, technically gifted and wasn't afraid to actually try things, he wasn't paralysed by the pressure.
Another case of player being at the verge of rupture before having their chance under Spalletti is Lautaro whose father even went as far as to speak with journalists about the way he was treated and I remember there were talks about him going back to Racing on loan.
We are crap at managing young players, I'd say if the fees we paid for Barella and Basto weren't that high we would 100% have started the likes of D'ambrosio and Vecino over them, and said that they need to "adapt".
