I'm not singling you out on this, but it seems that a lot of people are having issues over the price for Giovinco to come back.
Let's think about this for a second.
Juve, according to reports, have paid 11 million in cash to return him to Juve.
Subtract the 3 million paid out by Parma last year, and that is now 8 million.
Now, let's take a look at the quality of player that is being brought back for 8 million.
A 25 year old AMF/SS who led Parma (Parma, mind you), to an 8th place finish last year. 15 goals and 11 assists.
A player who was also given something that cannot be valued or quantified in monetary terms. He was given 2 years to develop his game. 2 years where he was an everyday player. With no guarantees, despite what others might think, that he would have gotten nearly as much playing time in those 2 years had he remained at juventus.
So you have to ask yourself if a net 8 million euro payout for 2 years of experience where he had a great season last year, was worth it to juventus. Probably secure in the knowledge that A) Juve had every intention to bring him back, and B) the only way that Parma, a team which has had excellent relations with Juve over the years, would have kept him for that 2nd season would have been if they had a vested financial interest in him.
Keep in mind that I am sure that others would say that they should have just continually loaned him out. It simply doesn't work that way when you are discussing someone of his talent, and age. This was probably the only way that this deal could have been done, and quite honestly, it could have probably only been done with Parma.
To me, to get a 25 year old player who had the type of season that he had , for 8 million, is very good piece of business.

Well, I think that it all depends on where his destination would be.
If it were to Fiorentina as part of a deal for Jovetic, as much as I would love that, Giovinco surely wouldn't. It would make no sense for him to further his career by taking a step down in quality.
Now, if it were a team outside of Italy who have grander amibitions than a Fiorentina, he would probably be agreeable to that. It would all depend on the fee that juve would receive, obviously.
I think that right now, at this very moment, he was brought back with the intention to remain at Juventus

Giovinco wants playing time... Fiorentina is a bigger club then Parma and if he isn't bought here to play then im sure he'll accept a Fiorentina deal.. Keep in mind guys; Giovinco stated he would only return to Juve on a permanent basis if we offered him a certain amount of games - same as we did with Pirlo.. Do you think Conte agreed to that?
