what dressing room? I didn't mention anything about dressing room. He was complaining to media all the time.
No, he was questioned by the media all the time, and he responded. What, you want him to lie and say Juventus was right in shipping me off? Come on, that's garbage. Look at it from a player's point of view. I know it might be difficult for those who have never actually played the game, but still.

You forgot how once he said he wished he was a Brazilian, Italians never get a chance etc.. Many things similar to this.
And? What's wrong with that? Younger Italians don't really get a chance. That's the truth. They get shipped out to small sides and left to fend for themselves. That's the whole point. Seba has a right to say that.

As much as great he is, and I don't disagree with anyone there, he always had problems being a professional..
:rolleyes2 Right. Just because he doesn't bow down to Juventus. What horse shit.

It's not like he wasn't getting paid. He was right? so I don't see a reason why he talks this much, he is not happy? who stopped him to go? did the board block his move? I don't see what's the point of all these.

Imagine being a player(if you can), that was rarely called upon but when was you out performed everyone in that role time and time again for two years. Then the club spent 12m on a garbage player that barely played 5 games this season and you had more talent in one leg than the other guy had in his whole body. Then imagine your loyal ass was shipped off to a junk club like Parma from the club of your dreams like you were no more than a ball boy, then sold half your contract leaving you AGAIN guessing what the hell is going go happen to you still for the next 2 years after a horrible 3 years you have endured.

He got mind fucked, now he is mind fucking us back and good for him.

Shut the front door, if it was me that happened to I'd give you all the middle finger with a big Fuck you. None of you have experienced anything like this in your life so unless you were sitting right there next to the reporter in the dressing room and saw how he answered and his tone then just shut the front door. :hi:

I want him at Juventus ASAP.... but really he needs to find some manners. I, well, we all know that he was treated like trash here, but like some mentioned..... he really needs to select his words better when speaking to the media.
There are not alot of "big" clubs interested in him right now, and he is talking like if he was the new messi.

Just for his own sake and for his own opportunities, he must at least learn to express himself.

With this said, he has all the right to critique us about what happened in the past because he is right.... but i mean, come on... think a little giovinco... your still co owned by one of the most renowned teams in Italy, and still all you do is to try to piss off the president and all the BoD, knowing that there is a possibility that you will end here anyways?.. Is just plain stupidity if you ask me.

Problems with being a professional? Giovinco never complained when he wasn't given a chance, he was being too silent and I wished he would have talked more. And he's not even complaining right now. Only thing he said is that he wants to play regularly. And I can totally understand that, why should he return and risk getting benched the season before the Euro Championships? If we can't guarantee him a starting spot then there is nothing wrong with him wanting to play, good on him, he has ambitions.

I seriously don't get whats going on right now. You guys are exaggerating.

The reason he was sent from here is probably his big mouth, noisy kid. Is he talented? absolutely! and I am one of the biggest admirer of him and I hated seeing him leave, but also I was one of the first critics when he was here and he was complaining about everything all the time. He isn't happy? Then he could shut the fuck up and move, that simple! But no, he keeps complaining and complaining and complaining. He could simply say, "Juventus is past now, and I am looking forward for my career in other clubs, Parma or somewhere else", but no, he prefers "I WAS RIGHT! JUVENTUS BOARD WAS WRONG!". and not just for once, he brings this up at every opportunity, that's because he can't control his mouth, he is not a professional. Del Piero for example was benched for many times, be it Capello or others, and undeservedly, I never seen him bitching about it, he didn't even comment negatively after the managers, even if he did, he didn't make a big noise like this one does.

I love Giovinco's talent, but I hate his attitude, maybe we did the right thing to send him away, even thou I was having orgasm watching him playing at Juve, even at his worst performance..
On what basis do you make that argument? I have no recollection of Giovinco during his time at Juve being loud or rebellious while he was at Juventus. In fact, I would believe its safe to assume that prior to his mistreatment he was respectful to the club and waited his turn (that he never got) with extreme patience. You clearly don't understand the nature of modern media. They obviously see a story in Giovinco and have asked loaded questions pertinent to that story. Lets say for arguments sake that Giovinco actually did said everything that seems to have angered you, he in no way has directly discredited or disrespected the football club. Unless you think Marotta represents the club as a whole but even so, he never specifies any individuals either.
You can't accurately compare Giovinco's case to Del Piero's under Capello. Giovinco was treated much much worse. He could barely get a game in Coppa Italia and sat on the bench while Del Piero that season still managed to make enough starts (with stiffer competition relative to Giovinco's) and score 14 goals. Moreover, during that season Del Piero criticized Capello at least twice for not winning Juve enough games and characterised him as 'not convincing'.

I just don't understand how people say get over him he is in the past and yea let's move on.. then Marotta hits you with the likes of Martinez and Pepe. people here talk like our team is full of sanchezez and pastores and that Giovinco is our last problem and the least of course.. the problem with Giovinco to me is the biggest problem of this club cause it represents how the management doesn't have a great vision and goddamn it's an awful feeling. if u treat someone with the conditions of Giovinco like that then u should be alerted that u are in the negative direction... the guy isn't messi and i don't want him to be the best player in the world ( we had a player called Camoranesi who secured our RM for more than 6 years and he wasn't the best in the world )

my point is if u treat someone who wanted to give u the best like that, i guess we are the ones who should shut the fuck up and just listen to him.

And even when Seba played well, he was immediately benched.

No, people don't have a problem relating to him. They only have the one-dimensional mindset that Juve can do no wrong and don't care what critics of the team have to say. That's a fact. They aren't interested in right or wrong.

Why do most of you assume that we have already sold 50% of giovinco? We haven't. Or rather, Parma haven't yet taken up their option to sign him for a set fee. Which they cannot do without giovinco's acceptance. The fact that we included in the loan deal an option to sell ONLY 50%, in itself suggests that we had no desire last summer, to completely get rid of him.

Its best to take the interviews with a pinch of salt. Quotes are often taken very intentionally out of context. Creating/reporting drama and tension are core aims of most media instituions...

He has had a decent season, i would be happy to see him given a chance at Juve this summer. As for his apparent quote of 'i need to be a first pick'...i suspect that was mistranslated, and he actually said something mor along the lines of 'i need to be at a club where i have the chance of winning a starting place week in, week out'.

Giovinco shits on all our options for LW at present, and in a 4-2-3-1 he would definitely shit over anything we currently have as well.

Fact: We fucked up in not giving him ample opportunities to express and prove himself. If we are to use him in a trade to bring in someone like Sanchez, then I am all for it. However, if we are going to overpay on someone like Perroti, or bring in the over-rated inconsistent Elia instead of him, then our management are just a bunch of retarded incompetents who don't have a clue!
