if the transfer will bring us to a blind bidding war, then we'll just have to suggest a highier sum of money for him than Parma and he would be ours. But ofcourse we wouldn know parma's offer ;/
What he lacks in height he compensates in pace. Giovinco has improved his acceleration and agility this season and can outrun the most central defenders! Look at players such as Messi, Silva, Iniesta, Xavi they're all small. This gives them a lower centre of gravity - making them able to turn faster then a tall defender like Rannochia or whoever and that makes it really hard for them to hang on to them - forcing them to commit a cumsy foul..
Other then that would be plain stupidity. he will come relatively cheap - very cheap for a player of his calibre. He is Juventini, Italian and young. I would jizzzzzz in my pants if we signed JoJo as well. But we'll see. Maybe I am just all too happy with second strikers :jvefan: No seriously - i like it when we creates chances all the time.. We should aim to sign players like Barca - eventually play similar to Barca (not like Barca)
The fee is essentially half of what you value him at, that's what the clubs each offer in a blind auction, for example. So you're saying you think he is worth €30m?
I'd say he is worth €18m-€20m, just for being Italian, his age, attacker, his past season, and a bit of flair and creativity.
Parma and Juve will sit and talk before a blind auction is done. This deal could include some players Parma are interested in but if they don't reach an agreement over Giovinco it will end up in a blind auction. It pretty much depends on Parmas economy and their valuation of the player. I think we could make a deal with Parma in the region of 5-10 million € and a player or two..
