He did very well in Parma....
For the record I think Giovinco is a more talented player, but he is only wanted back by the majority now we have a striker shortage and he has some form, predictable hindsight. With a full squad we wouldn't have needed him. He would have been sitting on the bench with the odd appearance and grumbling as usual, which is why it was ideal to loan him. No use in getting all misty eyed about a guy who still has proven nothing more than that he has talent.
As for Giovinco left midfield with our left backs
He is a wide 4-3-3 or second striker player.

Haha, talk about making your post totally retarded with the Lanzafame example.
And the difference with Gio, besides the obvious, is he didnt really get a real chance, as in he had good streak of games or just 1, and was benched for next 2 months. Was subbed and whatever little time he played, he performed well by adding creative spark, but was still completely ignored for next games like his performance never happend etc. That was basically the pattern, not saying he doesnt have flaws and is some top proven must play player, but basically the above scenario was anything but fair or being given a chance.
And compare it to what we sacrificed him for, its bit laughable, Pepe's and Martinez (not judging the latter too harshly yet, but weird signing when we had Gio) and a TOTALLY limp attack that needs every help it could have gotten with another creative option besides Krasic.

I find it funny that you seem to defend everything Marotta does yet you can't seem to give Seba a break. Why does he have to come back to prove the doubters wrong? Is it a rule? Or is it enough for you that he scored two goals against us?
Was Lanzafame ever considered as one of the best talents in the world? Was Lanzafame the star of the successful Azzurini? Was Lanzafame selected as one of the best players in the U-21 Championship with the likes of Özil? Did Lanzafame ever have 9 assists in 1/3 of the season in a Juventus jersey? Seba has the 3rd highest rating of all midfielders in the league right now according to Gazzetta, has Lanzafame ever been ranked that high?
Cash? He got 1m for him.

I did expand because I knew that people would say I thought Lanzafame was as good as Giovinco. But you get my point even if you don't agree. When Lanzafame was in good form for Parma people said bring him back. Ekdal has a few good games, bring him back. That's just how it works.
I understand why Giovinco was loaned out and agreed at the time. Obviously if you had said to Marotta and Delneri that we were going to start 2011 with basically Amauri as the only fully fit striker their response would have been along the lines of 'FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU' and Giovinco would have stayed. Ok Giovinco doing well and people saying 'we shouldn't have loaned him' is about as predictable as it gets, that's normal. Saying we messed up because now we have no forwards, that's something I don't agree with.
