The truth IMO is that the best that could have happened to him was the loan....even when i was mad as hell when i read the reports of it finally happening, even more after i realized it was a cheap co-own, a clear indicator of the board wanting to dispatch him.
Juventus was never going to give him a proper chance without Conte around. If Conte would have been here instead of fearra or ranieri , maybe Giovinco would be a start now. But also maybe conte was not prepared for us by that time. Anyways, alot of "IFs".
The thing is that he gained precious playing time in those 2 seasons and now he knows what he is capable of and what he is good at.
