He's a half chance, but how do you get past RvN? When Forlan plays in the reserves he scores for fun, so you can see the difference in the step up to the first team.
Nardiello has a lot going for him, he's fast enough (not super fast mind) has a good brain, and a decent shot on him, and his movement and awareness are excellent. He's also about average height and weight, nothing special.
However, he misses chances, and I don't think he's ready for the United first team, because he does not offer anything extra that is not already there in the first team pool. I'd love to see him introduced from the bench to give him a tast of the action.
I'd say he's be in line if there was some kind of striking injury crisis (god forbid!)
