If there is truth to Giovinco's agent actually saying that, literally confirming that la formica atomica is heading to our first team dquad for this summer and next season, then I am happy. Even something as simply as adding Vargas to the squad, as a challenger to Giovinco on either of two positions. Lw, or LWF.

The news about Iaquinta...who cares? really??? He did well at times, but has done nothing for many moons now. Its little defence to say 'he has been injured!!!!' because that is one of the problems. which are part of him, as a piece of capital. even releasing him for 0, easing up the wage bill a little, to invest on fresh blood, would be fine by me. Ciao VinnyCenzo...

back to this possible, apparently very close to likely, re-acquisition, of giovinco...A majority seem to believe/ assume that COnte will adopt his tried and tested 4-2-4. We were linked with Bastos long before Conte was anywhere near even serious consideration for the manager position. Pirlo, i assume the same.

I can understand Marotta grabbing Pirlo...whilst attempting a close to insulting offer to purchase Aquilani. 6m?? that did make me chuckle to read. Cheeky Beppe!...Pirlo is 32. but has world class ability, that can be shown regularly, if his flesh and bones can remain healthy. His seriously special abilities on the ball can be of more use to us, with our present team around him, than Aquilani. Pirlo surely has been told that he is part of first team plans, else he wouldn't have signed.

That fact alone, challenges the 'Conte 4-2-4' mould that the majority of juventini seem to be working their prospective first XIs into the shape of.

Conte's 4-2-4 needs wingers who are far more offensive than defensive. also strong fullbacks, defensively and offensively...above all else, a competency and both LB and LM, as the two become combined in such a formation. for the midfield to have ONLY two pretty much always centrally based midfielders, often digging deep to defend, but rarely truly investing themselves forward, a pairing which will often come up against at least 2-3 opponents, hoping to beat them, or spray the ball wide...of such a pairing, we need TWO beasts. One is not enough. If the Inler rumours are true, and we sign him. I will be very impressed with Marotta, and Conte, if they end up deploying a central midfield of:
Melo Pirlo Inler
Add to that the defence
Buffon
Lichsteiner Bonucci Chiellini Ziegler

And we are looking hugely stronger already.

Now we already have krasic, and likely matri...seemingly also giovinco...and quagiarella.

Buffon
Lichsteiner/beck bonucci/barzagli chiellini ziegler/de ceglie
melo/pazienza pirlo inler/marchisio
bastos/quag matri/toni giovinco/krasic


That team, with the right dose of luck, and COnte managing to infuse into the team as a whole, a contagious sense of belief in and demand for success, could reach 3rd, or perhaps even second...

:lol: This reply is pure genius. Only two reasons guys.. we can't possibly speak badly about Pepe if we only have 2 reasons...
:D

Don't just jump to conclusions and excite people :D

It's amazing his agent said that, but still that doesn't mean anything.

I think I read once that Giovinco admires Conte's interest, but he will remain at Parma regardless.
First sentence is correct. Last one is also correct, he basically said he wants to be at a club where he will play.

My opinion if Conte can convince Giovinco to come to Juve to give him first team football which, he definitely deserves to play. I believe that Gio will come.. Now, that depends solo on Conte and if Marotta some how tries to intervene i will do this in Marotta's bed... ..who knows it might be even motta's head :lol2:

Giovinco wants first team football so,at least spend the 40 million or so on other areas.. Giovinco and Krasic, I like it.

"We've said in all languages, unfortunately others do not know: Giovinco will play in the Parma and Parma. Despite rumors of the last hours talking about a return to Juventus playmaker (that was also expressed his agent), Pietro Leonardi, CEO of Parma, has once again confirmed that the player will not move from Emilia.

That doesn't mean shit. If Conte really wants Giovinco, there is nothing Parma can do about it.

And if they don't cooperate, let's tell them that they can't have Amauri and Palladino.

It will all come down to Gio's decision. Two out-come of the situation IMO:

1) He still purely loves the club but obviously has targeted Euro12. A guaranteed spot in start-11 would change his mind. Still chance of coming back.

2) It has become a love-hate realtionship with Juve, now he wants to punish them for their mistake and blah blah blah. It's over.

Judging by his comments and his agent's desperation to dismiss 'juve-return' rumours the minute they're out, I'll go with 2 sadly.
