Yeah, I think he's a more complete talent than Robin was too. van Persie never had this type of vision on him, for instance. It's why he never worked in that deeper role for us.
They're a bit similar in the sense that both ostensibly began as strikers playing on the wing though, and both have a very high technical ceiling. There's the temper too; Berardi has as many yellow cards as goals in Serie A so far (and he's scored 31 goals in his two seasons in the top division). I think that's another thing that will turn into an advantage with time, especially in England. He won't take any shit from defenders.
