Its a crying fucking shame that he has to leave..but...if it is a co-ownership deal, even though loan would be better, I am far happier with it than the other option which would be to sell him outright. At least with a co-ownership, we can grab him back if he explodes into what so many of us believe is is capable of becoming...a true star.
the only problem I see with that, if it happens, is that some of the quotes from the young man, indicate an understandably severe anger with Juve. For failing to give him the chance he clearly deserves.
Personally, I would rather have him challenging Diego for the support striker position, instead of Del Piero. As with his pace and relatively decent power, for his physical stature, i reckon he could prove much more useful than our dying talisman....also, and on this point, i am sure that many will agree, I would prefer him on either flank, to ALL our other wide midfielders. Because he has more talent than them all. (I am looking at Camo as half dead, and likely to leave).
All in all, its very strange indeed. And I will be hopeful of reading an open, proper explanation from Del Neri, as to WHY he rates giovinco so low.
Still...who can say eh? perhaps he will fly at Bari, then return to us next summer??? or even in the january mercato.
Nothing is certain. Everything is possible.
Forza Giovinco, wherever he plies his trade this season...(that is, of course, unless he signed for liverpool. Even with Hodgson, who I respect and admire, the club will always be pure scum to me)
