I said it two weeks ago. I suppose I have to say it again.
Giovinco does not match Ranieri's tactical setup, it's that simple. He can't play instead of Nedved or Camo, or even Sali for that matter. Camo can manage his defensive duties well and so can Nedved but Giovinco is a purely attacking player.
He has a better chance to play as a support striker than play at the wings. I think that's how Ranieri will use him if anything, he will pur him behind Amauri or IQ.
We'll wait and see what Ranieri decides to do, but don't expect to see too many Giovinco games this season unless that 'Tinkerman" begins to tinker already.
Yep, thats exactly what i have been saying when we got him, despite everyone here and some of our managers saying that he will be Neddy's heir.
And i will also point out the facts, that as long as Molinari is our starter LB, the need for a LM who can defend is even higher and the chances for Gio to play there ever less!
Now adding the new Secco comments about our future transfers:
Secco said:
"We will bring in at least two big-name players next summer"
"However, I will only tell you this much: one of them will come in to fill Nedved's boots when he retires"
thats probably Hamsik
and we already know that the second one will be Cassano or Aquafresca if we fail to sign Cassano and we are also bringing Lanzafame back,
that would mean Secco and our managers dont plan to use Giovinco as a starter in the near future...
