As you can see from the above I'm not a great fan of Gio. When he first came to the club he was vaunted as the next best thing after Zidane Taarabt and you can see where that got us. His performances in pre season matches against the likes of Orient were impressive enough (given that the man only has one foot) and his matches for Mexico would seem to suggest that he has a passing acquaintance with the game of Association Football but sadly his meaningful appearances in first team matches has seen Gio woefully under perform. Ipswich supporters voted him their player of the season when he appeared there on a loan spell (it's also common knowledge that he was the best customer of several of Ipswich's nightclubs too) but having seen the competition at Ipswich I would suggest that Ralph Coates could beat him to that accolade and poor old Ralph is dead and yet is still a better player. Quite frankly he is not good enough. Not for us, nor for any Premiership side. Like Taarabt his level would appear to be Championship or lower. A brave experiment to sign some of the brightest young players from around the globe failed. I wish Gio all the best in the future as long as it does not involve playing for Spurs.
