That effects only clubs financial situation not his worth, he was still obviously valued for 2x11M when we bought his half back. And that's totally unbelievable. It's not like we sent him on loan and give them those 7.5M to train and play him, we sold them half of 7M worth player and then bought half of 22M worth player.
Italian players are overpriced, he had a good season, we wanted him and Parma didn't want to sell him. I think he was probably worth €17m-€18m, when you see the market and other prices paid. We could go with that value because net we were getting a good player for way less than we would ordinarily have to pay.
It's just like saying we got him for free since we sold Krasic for few million as well, if we are counting unrelated transfer operations to make his price look lower, but that's just another addition to my previous post.
We would definitely get him cheaper with blind bids though, or if we sold his 11M worth half we could buy someone better for those 22M, like Ramirez.

Because those operations aren't affecting each other. First one was this summer just number of 3.5M which could be equally used to buy Messi for 150M or Giovinco's half for unbelievable 11M. We could use it wherever we would want, it wasn't restricted for buying back Giovinco. We paid 11M for him as we would 150M for Messi and not 146,5M.

They are loaning players anyway, and that's the thing to compare with co-owning, not B team.

Playing time in top level is the most important thing to develop as a player.
Look how Marchisio and Gio ended up? They were loaned and co-owned and now we can reap the rewards, it was both benificial of them and us.
If Marrone doesn't come back then he doesn't and it means he was really not good enough, but now he doesn't even have the chance to prove that he is good enough.

Giovinco was easily good enough to play for us during those years he spent at Parma and if we had a decent coaches before Conte I believe he'd have developed into a way better player he is now. In the process we also lost 7m and humiliated ourselves. Stating him as a positive example of great business is laughable, it was already a fucking disaster when Marotta came at the helm, but hiring Del Neri and sending Giovinco away for two years worsened an already fucked up situation.
I'd say the best way to gain experience & improve is by playing games. As a CM, I might add, and he clearly won't get many chances with us.
While I too dislike the concept of co-owning, I'm not sure if selling him outright is the better option. We're obviously not going to get a lot of money for him, so if we sell him for cheap & he turns out to be a great player we're even more screwed than we would be if we still owned 50%.
Personally, I'd hold on to him for now & review the situation after the season.

We on forums can say that because we don't know how much chances will he get in the rest of the season, but Conte and others know what are their plans, so situation should be solved as soon as possible, for Marrone's benefit.
Also please compare co-owning with loans and not selling, it makes much more sense.
