If for the sake of argument, you play him on the wing in a 4-4-2, where do you play Diego?
And you can say that they would switch formations when Diego isn't playing, but wouldn't you want to have Diego on the field as much as possible?
You are still running into a situation where Giovinco gets limited playing time.
Logic ? 
I didnt said anything about his natural position, where did you come up with that?
I dont know his natural position. i dont think he knows realy.
He just need to play more in every position he can when he can, if he will be good we will have the answer.
Also, he never played as a winger in juve, never ( only in the U21 and he rocked).
Lets see him play as winger here first and then see, but i'm positive thats will be his best role on the pitch

Just because Ranieri didn't want to play him there?
Oh, I see. :rolleyes2
Not sure if you remember Nedved, but he was one of the best runners in the game, plus one of the best to win balls from a wide position.
His quality defensively doesn't prove anything about Giovinco. Nothing. And besides, Seba is an attacking player. If we field him at a left-wing position we'll have to compensate for his lack of defensive qualities, something other teams deal with, too.

Bold:
No, it's not. In fact, it's where he wants to play and he's said it on numerous occassions.
Underlined:
Sorry, your size does not decie where you should be placed on the pitch. That's absolutely ridiculous. You play based on your abilities, not your height or weight. FFS. Giovinco's abilities, playmaking, excellent vision, passing, speed, makes him an ideal AMF.
Sounds about the same age that Michael Owen won the Ballon D'Or.
Roma were really the perfect big team for him with their off-the-cuff style, but I don't think there was enough big club mentality about Cassano. Perhaps he has matured, but just because he is on form doesn't make him a changed man. One bad turn and he may be crying like a baby again. For that reason I wouldn't want him at Juventus. Before you consider that I am a Giovinco fanboy or Cassano hater, I chose him and Aguero as my favourite non-Juve players in that thread.
I also don't think Cassano is the difference between Juve winning the CL and not. Cassano has had what, one successful international tournament (Euro 2004)? So what makes him a banker to do the business against the very best sides? The teams who have been doing well in the CL of late are either the pragmatic Man Utd and Chelsea or Barcelona who play an unmatched passing style, Cassano fits into neither category. Juventus already have a risk factor to their play, the players and Ferrara have acknowledged this and it is why we give up so many chances and are giving Buffon so much to do, also why Moggi considers Juventus will not win the CL. I hope he is wrong of course, but see where he is coming from.

No, not because Ranieri didn't play him there. Because he left our left back position a little too exposed. Also, we has Molinaro then need I remind you.
Other teams? Name a team that has a player with absolutely no defensive qualities playing on the left wing of a 4-4-2 formation. It's a matter of footballing principle, not of coaching competency.
