Lets see how Gio does in training. If he knuckles down and trains hard then I see no reason why he can't make a place for himself in AVBs squad. He has a lot of work to do, but with a new manager here now it gives players like GDS a new opportunity. He could prove to be ideal in AVBs system.

PrettyColors · Jul 13, 2012

GDS won't be in training until after the America tour... he's with Mexico for the Olympics.

Which is why I don't expect him to be sold until after then. If AVB wants to give him a chance then he'll have to see him train first.

I asked JJ on Twitter a while ago about Gio and his problems breaking in to the squad/impressing Harry/attitude problems. He said the problems were both on Gios and Harrys behalf. Whatever that means.

panoma · Jul 13, 2012

Hope Gio stays for another year.

He is a lot more talented than our other fringe players like Bentley and Jenas, and if AVB restore some confidence in the kid he might even appear like a new signing!

He have the attributes needed to succeed, and the way AVB is gonna rotate the squad i can see him getting lots of games and racking up some goals and assists.

If he fail this year and continue his clubbing habit as ppl report then ship his ass out. Think a lot of ppl could be suprised by him next season if we keep him.

Go didn't like Harry - didn't have the right attitude for him
Harry didn't like Gio because he didn't have the right attitude and disliked him straight away due to falling out of clubs.
Gio then unable to get games.

I see the problem there.

Bus-Conductor · Jul 13, 2012

I wonder if Akqayid is just confusing two players from Atletico Madrid ? IE he's heard we're after a striker from AM and he's just assumed it's Falcao, when in fact it's Adrian ?

Adrian is more you versatile type isn't he, can play anywhere across a front 3 for example. Would make more sense in a way, if we are getting Adebayor.

Sounds like they just didn't like each other.

There have been glimpses here and there of Gio looking good. A few years ago he was having a great game in one of the cups (I think it was Plymouth, when Crouch scored a hat-trick), and then got injured. He also played well for Ipswich in the games I saw him in.

He's definitely not a poor footballer by any stretch of the imagination, and if AVB wants to give him a fresh start then fair enough.

Think he does deserve a chance to be honest. The club don't really have a lot to lose to at least keep him around a bit longer to see what he can do under a new management? If he can fill a hole or be a backup for injuries/absence - great in my opinion

Probably not a popular view amongst the people here though!

Cause that worked when Harry took over

alex3 · Jul 13, 2012

he's got the talent so if he can work hard he will be a good player in our squad he should take example from a lot of players in our squad

This. If Gio knew Harry wasn't going to select him then he proably didn't put the effort in whilst training, consequently Gio wasn't selected. The perfect downbward spiral.

If Gio puts the effort in I believe he will be given a chance by AVB. It's up to Gio now.

daryl · Jul 13, 2012

dont understand all this give gio a chance,,at least bentley is a tryer,,gio is without doubt the laziest little shit of a player iv ever seen,,made my blood boil watching him against rubin last year,

donny1013 · Jul 13, 2012

My mate was playing for Ipswich when Gio was there on loan. He said he was the best player by far at training but he was always the last one to turn up. I was never a massive fan of him at Barca, but who knows with a manger that would give him a chance, he may actually do something for us. Only waited 4 years.

Hoopspur · Jul 13, 2012

Hope to be proved wrong with Gio. Not a big fan though at the moment I've got to say.

SpurSince57 · Jul 13, 2012

It's Jasper.

Spurs_Bear · Jul 13, 2012

And surely that is just opinion from Jasper anyway rather than ITK? Unless he's in bed with AVB already.

Dinpomp · Jul 13, 2012

Falcao explained:

Akqayid signs off with "Falcao... night."

Falc-ao. Fuck-all. Night.

Basically, nothing to see here. Good night.

Now why he had to spell it like that and tease everyone, I do not know.

danielneeds · Jul 13, 2012

The only thing I'll say about Gio is that 433 is made for him.

Then, again even if he was being played out of position wide in a 422, he could have at least put some effort and work-rate in, none of which ever happened.

Bit of top up info from the usual source.
City accepted a lower than market price so we could pay his signing on fee in lieu of wages.
Still after signing a "world class " young striker.
Apparently between 4 to 6 in which includes those 3 already here, so up to 3 left to go. Don't think that number includes the Man U youngster. Modric defo going. Trying for Moutinhu and Leandro. Nothing earth shattering so just really adding a bit of credence to the rumours already going around.

SugarRay · Jul 13, 2012

When does his contract run out? This summer might be the last chance we have to get cash monies for him.

I see the problem there.

But harry didn't give him a chance, ledley was photographed "falling out of clubs" and he didn't train (for obvious reasons). Defoe and lennon like their clubs as does Danny rose. But they all got a chance.
