With no transfer moves coming through for Federico Bernardeschi, do you think he can accept he is staying here and really focus on himself and the team improving. Does John Herdman have what it takes to get his career back on track?

But when the European transfer window closed on Feb. 2, Bernardeschi ended up staying at Toronto FC as no deal materialized.
