Introducing him at the right time is important. We do not want another case of Criscito.
Those are two totally different cases guys, stop comparing seriously !! criscito was a 20 year old defender last season who never played in serie A before. So to play he's first games in serie A with a club like juve is a huuuuge step for him and i swear i knew he wouldn't make it with us (it was obvious). Plus he played as a CB which is a very hard position to play in (a single mistake would mean a goal).

Giovinco gonna play most likely as a winger. Even if he didn't perform as expected it won't be a disastor. And i really think he wouldn't fail in that position. I've watched almost all of empoli's games last season (except 2-3 games) and i really believe that he's bitter than the majority of our current players!! All what he need is a chance to play, thats it....

I believe that Giovinco has had some phychological problems (Dunno if he is okay now. I hope so. ) and Mr.Ranieri noticed that. I think he did the right thing for not using Giovinco in the recent matches.

I noticed Gio's problem during the Olympics. He used to be a player with good vision, who read the game quite well and made great passes (I've watched quite a few matches of him, both in Empoli and Azzurri). In Olympics, however, he didn't show great vision of the game at all. I only saw a player who played alone and liked to stick to the ball a lot. I also noticed that his teammates didn't attack through his side as often as they used to be, which may happen because of Gio's bad form but I believed there was other problem. Where is the selfless playmaker Giovinco that we used to know? The new Giovinco seemed eager to show that he was good at dribbling and breaking the defense alone but unfortunately in these areas, he is way behind players such as Messi.

In recent U-21 matches, I found that he and Balotelli didn't get along very well (Gio obviously didn't pass the ball to teh Super Mario). Then there appeared Gio's agent saying that Gio should get the same salary as Balotelli. So apparently, Pasqualin and Co. aren't helping Gio at all。

I also watched the Moretti Cup, in which game Gio paired with Amauri up front. There was a chance that the old Giovinco would have chosen to pass the ball to Amauri, but the new Giovinco chose to give a try himself. It was clear that Amauri was on a better position. Someone who only watched Gio on Olympics thought Gio had a very poor vision and could only serve as a pure winger and not a very good one because of his lack of physic. But the ones who watched Giovinco before know better).

I think somehow Gio has grown big-headed. The media and the fame seem to be giving an impact on him. He has not been mature enough to deal with it.

If he continues that way, he cannot work well in a team. Mr.Ranieri wants to introduce him as a team member not someone who makes a show.

I sincerely hope that Gio will learn his lessons. Since he is still young, all the childish things he did are forgiven. He still has his chances to come back to the right path. I wish him all the best.

If giovinco can pass and has good vision of game.... then i think is more than enough.
Another player with the playmaking ability of camoranesi is always welcomed in a team of defensive midfielders.

(im not saying that camo is a playmaker or play in that position, but from our whole team, the most scoring opportunities come from his feet)

Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri is determined to introduce youngster Sebastian Giovinco slowly to his first team.

“His time will come slowly but surely - we shouldn't wait for him like a Messiah,” Ranieri asserted. “We have to see him as a lad who needs to be slowly integrated and we have to take a responsible approach.

“I have never said that he poses a tactical problem. He is just developing as a player - he always played in the centre and then he was on the left at Empoli.

“I brought him back to be a back-up to Pavel Nedved but that doesn't mean that he can't be used in attack.

“I have a lot of faith in him. He works hard and he has great quality but let's give him some time.”

So I think he understands that it's time to use him :D
