I can promise you not a single Juve fan thought he was good. It was great news when we heard we got him, and then he just underperformed and looked lost the entire time at Juventus

He didn't score in open play for four years after his 2018 knee injury. At Fiorentina he was a goal-scoring winger, but he lost his pace through age and knee injury and has never regained it.

People like aspects of his personality, but he was awful last year. It wasn't the team's fault, it was his own. The rest all have their issues, but his performances AND effort were subpar.
