I personally don't care one way or the other. He could be useful to us, but I don't think he's that great.
However, the incessant bitching to the media by both player & agent is becoming extremely tiring and childish. And we definitely should not "guarantee" him anything.
And for those who wonder, the FI translation was accurate enough this time:
"Nella scelta della prossima squadra sarà fondamentale il progetto. Sebastian dovrà ricevere garanzie tecniche dall’allenatore e dalla società . Ovvero un’assoluta garanzia di utilizzo e sul tipo di utilizzo. Non è in gioco il suo status, ma il suo futuro sportivo. Insomma, l’allenatore che più lo vorrà . Con noi i dirigenti bianconeri non hanno ancora parlato e mi risulta che non lo abbiano fatto nemmeno con il Parma. Però Ghirardi ha speso parole importanti nei confronti della Juve"
To be fair, it doesn't say he is demanding a starting place, and it could be his agent trying to increase his value by talking to the media. I'm sure if Conte sits down and talks to Gio, all will be sorted, either for better or worse.
Well, I personally want him back. However, if Chelsea offer something crazy like 20 Million, after we buy back his half for 7 or 8 Million, I'm sure we could use the extra money to make a better quality purchase, an upgrade on Gio.
Zola had about 5 times the body strength of Giovinco. I know his agent is trying a sale but even Chelsea won't be stupid enough to buy him because he played well against them once.
If this is the way, I hope he fucks off to england and fails miserably there just to go to spain and do even worse and then come back to italy and end his career in Serie Z, while making us ~10mil in the process.
