I stopped reading after that first sentence. Suns, are you trying to say we took our own youth product and "literally" tried to ruin his career?
Well, it was unintended, but I do think at least the coaches never thought he was good enough for Juve and instead of offloading him earlier we kept him on the bench. That kinda qualifies as ruining, if not his career, at least a couple of years of it.

I'm just going with the facts, since he came back from Empoli, we basically did nothing good for his career although he had the talent. How come a talent like Giovinco got to play least amount of minutes in the team last season?(after Chimenti and Paolucci who came for the 6 last months)
But why, in the terms of common sense, would a team, who has invested time and money on one of their young players, try to hinder his career as you had intimated in your response to me a couple of hours ago?

You said that "well it just ended up that way"

So, in other words, the only reason why Juventus didn't play him was because they were trying to hinder his progress, especially since he's Italian, which Juve loves, and it is widely known that Juve have been the piepline for the NT, whether some of us refuse to accept that notion.

What sense does that make, either ethically or financially?

Do you think that maybe, just maybe, he got a little too accustomed to reading his own press, and was therefore under the false impression that he was owed a certain sense of entitlement?

Between, someone thought about respect towards the current club? This goes to every player, the whole I-won't celebrate-against-my-team crew should think about what impression that leaves on teammates, coach, manager, fans. You simply say that you don't care about the team you are playing for. Neither heart nor head in the game, as a coach I wouldn't use such a player. I think it's really disrespectful, it's betraying your employer and the supporters that cheer for you.
This has two sides, might be a good idea for some people here to remove their black and white glasses (the giovinco glasses too!) and use the two soaked paninis in their head which some call a brain.


Apart from that: he won't come back anyway, nothing left to lose.
:tup: :agree:

Also I hate all this talk how he ruined Seba, it seems like he was in worse situation than miners in Chile are now.

He still earned bunch of money for doing nothing, also he could have ask to leave if he wanted to. It's not like we forbidden him to leave and tortured him, it was his decision at the end.

I thought it was obvious that he would get a lot of media attention if he performed well at Parma, especially questions about Juventus. He's a huge talking point for a player who has shown just promise (on top of being labelled the next Del Piero), journalists will be all over him above any other Parma player after matches, and controversial questions are their thing. I found it funny in the FI article, "Parma midfielder Sebastian Giovinco has promised to celebrate if he scores against Juventus this season", trying to stir up some controversy.

He's not even attacking the club. Players don't take up football to be loyal to one club above all others, they do it for a living. It's his career, not Juventus'. What he said in the interview was truth though, it was the fans who got behind him but nobody at the club wanted to make the same commitment. It's not like he's saying he'll run over to the Juventus support and perform a gesto dell'ombrello.

I find it weird that fans find that players have to have some sort of honour to this club. Sort of like when we got relegated in Serie B, and a certain player who said that the players won those two Scudetti on the pitch fairly, yet he gets slaughtered by some (naming him a traitor) because Juventus sold him to the club who was offering the most money (which benefited Juventus after all).
I LOVE U ,MAN!!

If he scores past us it can only be a good thing afterall, his price will rise and he will mature, isnt that the reason we send him on loan in the first place? As for the celebration part his not left the club, since when have you actually saw gio pulling out emotional grit and provoking celebrations. He will proberly celebrate by showing some sarcasm at the guys who didnt quite believe in him. I personally dont blame him, he is and remains our player so I wish him the best, if he does score then I want our guys to do one better and score past parma and win it.

We should have kept this guy.. Imagine if he play as SS in the last match against Samp substituting DP.. With the flow movement football i saw like last match, i believe Gio is suitable.. It's not like DP do much of defending duties so the reason about Gio capabilities help to defend is out of question for me..
