That's your opinion, I take it with a kilo of salt. I suppose Giovinco is not garbage, because you like him?
Personally I think he is a pretty good player, not attacking him at all, just giving reasons why he is not at our club this season. I can see that it is very difficult for people who like him to understand, but for me he has had a handful of good games for us and simply does not warrant the notion that he would make our team better.
So I'll ask again, where is Giovinco playing in our team this season?

And he's a keeper to boot.
the only problem with giovinco playing on our left flank as winger is, that we do not have anyone able to defend on that site. if we hadn't ashton "the chickenhead" kutcher as leftback, but a more conservative left back that stayed behind a lot and could actually defend, then you could give seba the freedom needed to play that situation.
it's not that seba does not track back if told to, but the problem is he has not much success in it and he even does foul people on dangerous positions because he simply does not know HOW to defend and you can not afford to play a winger that tracks back but does foul out of unability to defend and a left back who runs around like a chicken and who is also not able to do defend for his life.
that is not true (talentwise)... i am pretty sure that giovinco would have a similar impact in the early 1990s, because the game was just different back then... one feint and running past the defender scoring was enough back then...

When Giovinco leads his team for more than a decade, wins everything there's to win with his club and proves time and time again that he's WC, only then he could be compared with Del Piero.
And if Giovinco failed to make an impact in the worse Juve in decades it means that he wouldn't stand a chance in one of the strongest ones.

don't mix up "quality of a league" with "defending against technical quality strikers"..
back then there were much less players with superior technical abilities like del piero, (giovinco now), rivaldo, ronaldo and so on. hence defenders where not used to play against very tricky attackers. many attackers that were successful back then where not even that technically gifted but only good headers or finishers ... a very successful gabriel batistuta was technically above the average striker and did score many goals, but is no way near what todays good strikers are.
back then when alex had his breakthrough there was noone who even knew a certain ronaldinho (who back then did play in brazil).
my point is that giovinco would possibly be fitted better into the 90ies because the defenders where not very technically adapt and less dynamic/athletic.
the athletics of the current game are not in giovincos favour... it's easier for him to jump over a rough tackle (which where more common back then), than to win a running duell against a defender who has way more body power/balance and who simply brushes him away
Especially the defense.
see above
