He'll be way to expensive compared to what we'll get. He's end product is not there yet. Does not seem very defensive minded, which won't work under Del Neri. He has got potential, no doubt, but he is not Scudetto material yet.

Id say no more that €11-12M and I doubt they will let him go for that.

I guess we are signing Dzeko so that means no Krasic!
We need a good winger instead of Krasic
Elia sounds good but I wonder what will be his price tag

Do you want a guy who will make some good youtube videos in our shirt or a player who can actually contribute with assists?
I don't understand why you took that bit of my post to reply like this. A stronger, faster player, whom I consider to be more of a threat on the side, is only good for youtube videos?

I think you somewhat underrate Elia. I still fail to see how you came to the conclusion he's a flashy no-good player.

i really like this underrating of Giovinco this days and everyone claims that he is overrated as his first reason for hating him. and for linking with Bari and such so he is a piece of shit. anyway i saw both of Giovinco and Elia plays live and i still think Giovinco is a better player with more technique and above all he is smart and has a vision even though he is short. in the other side Elia played with shitty defense yea he is strong but sometimes i think he just can dribble and then what?! but with Giovinco yea maybe he can't pass his man every time with his lack of strength but when he pass him you know that he will give u a cut pass or very good cross Giovinco is more dangerous and produce more.

    A stronger and faster, but then what will he do with the ball? From what I’ve seen he tries to do another trick then falls or just fails to deliver a good pass. Elia’s skills are incredible, but what I’m arguing about here he’s not that better than Giovinco.
    Because he isn't Giovinco.
    Of course not. I’m not just whining that Giovinco is leaving or not getting much time of play, but you guys are underrating Giovinco.

    I think Giovinco will never be a main player for a top club.

    I think he'll be a Miccoli sort of level; good player for a Europa League team, but no more than a squad player for a top club.

    players like palladingo maybe!! but Giovinco played great here and proved to be one of our best players when he got his chance.

    I think he is so light-weight he will never be able to play at a consistently high level. It will be too easy for decent defenders to just muscle him out of games.



    He has potential, due to his tremendous athleticism, but clearly lacks end product.
    Finally, someone realized this.

    But, Cristiano Ronaldo in his first years was like that. He ran and ran with no end product, but he improved and has become efficient. So yeah, he has good potential.

    As for Giovinco, I’d rather stick with him for this season because he showed some great moments and deserves to be given a real chance.
