so everyone here is in consensus that rossi > seba?
Not really, bit more developed as a talent then Gio is right now due to having more senior footie experience (2 years more then Gio), and better physicality to withstand the pressure. But there is no mistaken it, I am a big fan of Rossi, but I watched them play almost 20 months together in Azzurrini footie, and quite assuredly in all of those 20 months, Giovinco showed himself to be the better player, and talent. Rossi himself allways said as much, that Gio was the star, while Rossi the very lethal secondary star player.
As someone else mentionned, its how they are used too, and how much they play, Giovinco is so far as unfortunate as Rossi was in Man U and Newcastle, he was struggling for time, and not getting enough playtime to grow as a player, as Giovinco has been for a while. When he gets trust and regular playing time, you will see that he has alot to offer too, as he showed most of the time in the Azzurrini. Plus, its also wether or not you use a player to his strenghts, Rossi in Villareal surely has, and grown quite a bit as a player due to it, the same needs to happen for Gio, and hopefully soon (Casiraghi is a bad coach too, so he really doesnt aid this youngsters much else then pick then and line them up, so Gio really needs a real coach who uses him right and shows whats what).
But this is a Rossi thread, and IMO the only thing we need to discuss with him and Giovinco is how awesome they would be playing together again. Because THAT will be a real fucking treat to put it mildly.
