In his prime yes he was very good

After he scored 2 against Germany he looked like the next GOAT and the future of Italy. Turns out that’s all he had in him. 1 good game.

he was never elite, but he was very good (strong, fairly fast, made good runs, great shot and decent goalscoring instinct) and looked like all he needed was a run of starts to turn into an amazing player
obviously that didn't happen for a bunch of reasons that mostly boil down to being a lunatic

Funny how we say was good as if he is retired and 37 or something but hes just 28

No, he had above average pace/technique for his size, and scored the occassional blooter.

His "Could be GOAT if he put the effort in!" media perception was always over the top, he never had what it took

Not better than Prime Falcão

Maybe not ever *that* good. But he was based.
I am also remembering him at liverpool, what a fucking waste.

He was never a superstar. He was never even world class, Milito/Ibra/Aguero/Forlan/Suarez/Cavani/Tevez/Rooney etc were all much better.

Meme negro

Winning the Golden Boy is a weird case. You look at the list and see a combination of all-time greats, and total busts.
