Those were his peak years, when he was aged 23-24. He played and scored a lot for Parma, and he also played a lot for Juve and Italy in that spell and didn't take his chance. Insigne took the spot of the midget LW/SS and there are several younger players in those positions (SES, Bernardeschi, Berardi, Sansone) to use as back ups or other options.
What Giovinco should have done is stuck around in Serie A or Europe, as it's definitely not unusual for Italian players to peak in late 20s, early 30s but he went to MLS and it's hard for selectors to take him seriously no matter what he does.

For me, it's just a matter of preference for the end of the bench style of player. I'd rather have someone with a little bit of talent and technique on the end of my bench in case you run into a 1-1 situation against Macedonia, for example. What if he gets onto a free kick, or the opposition is so tired that his lack of physique doesn't matter.
Once you get to the end of the Italian bench, they are all just bodies. Indistinguishable from any other Italian CM or defender. Like D'Ambrosio or Astori or Cristante, I mean what does it matter. I would keep Giovinco there just in case.

He is one of our own and pretty much cherished by Juve fans in general since his debute, regardless of the struggles. But this forum in its infantile nature has conditioned itself to treat one of our own like he is Materazzi or Nainggolan. It's retarded.
Especially more so since he isn't one of our former kids who is resentful or negative about Juve, like Immobile, Criscito or Nocerino etc. On the contrary he is very much a Juventino, who simply couldn't get playing time/role here to prove himself further.

Some players need more time to blossom. He wasn't a choker but he had some mentality problems. Probably because everyone expected of him to be Del Piero or something. The pressure was killing him...
We couldn't wait and also played him in wrong positions with the style of football that didn't suit him.
Imagine if he was signed by Napoli and played under Sarri these few years...

This is what I always found strange. Giovinco has one of the best personalities you will find in a footballer. He just wants to play. The way he has come to Toronto and embraced everything is very nice to see. The money helps but Toronto has paid a ton for footballers before and none have looked so genuine on and off the field as Giovinco (I'm sure Bradley is but he is a professional robot).
The hate campaign this forum had against him was idiotic.
Shame on the mods for letting that happen. I think it was totally the inverse of the glorious Diculo saga which was the proud of this forum. The giovinco saga is the lowest this forum has fallen.

I never got the Giovinco hate around here.
.
It started with Giovinco´s stupid del piero call comment.
It triggered a lot of emo members here and the hate campaign began.

Dude, we played Giovinco in a 352 with his back to goal.
Mainly also this. We forced him to play in a way it didnt suited him. He was more of a wide attacker a la insigne but we wanted him to play SS and dribble past the central defenders with his back to goal.

He had talent. Sadly he arrived at the wrong time. Juves tacttics didtnt suited him and he also had a part in it by not being mentally up to par. But this could have been the result of our lack of support towards him. It was a vicious cycle.

His free kick today was so sick. Team he plays for and opponent are irrelevant. That is pure technique. Can't even get on the end of the bench for Azzurri who can't qualify for WC.
