The move to Parma was the best thing that could have ever happened to him. There were no guarantees whatsoever that DelNeri would have used him last year, and Parma was not going to simply take the guy on loan. We have all seen what happens when Juve players go out on loan. More often than not, they don't get the playing time needed when there is no vested financial interests on the part of the club taking the player on. The option to buy 50% was most likely the only way that Giovinco was going to get substantial playing time. And there is no way on earth that Parma is going to outbid Juve on a blind auction.

Gio had flashes of brilliance, but there were moments of sheer frustration when watching him play, even in the limited amount of minutes that he was given. You can't gloss over the sub-par performances that he had during the last couple of years at Juve.

He is an exponentially better player now than when he left two years ago, and that is directly attributed to him playing every week. In hindsight, it is very easy to say that he would have been an instrumental player last season, but there were a lot of factors that came into play last season.

Juve will pay a fair price to get him back, and whatever the cost may be, you simply can't put a price on the match experience that he has had the last 2 years.

You're seeing it from the wrong angle though. There was no need to send him away in the first place because we should have given him the time to develop just like Marchisio did. Sending him away to Parma was the second best thing we could do. The best thing would have been given him a chance and actually played him regularly. Not forcing him into the starting eleven, but step by step getting him there.

I think you're nitpicking and concentrating on the small things that were bad. For an unexperienced player, Giovinco wasn't that frustrating that you could justify not playing him. You can't expect consistent magic all the time but for the big majority of the time he was actually doing something good out there. And his stats were mind blowing when thinking about the playing time he actually got.

Basically, he showed enough to actually earn his experience with Juventus instead of being sent to Parma. Usually, if a young player is as productive as Giovinco was with us, there is no way in hell teams would send him away, especially since we didn't really have the best squad at that time. Instead of sending him to Parma to get the experience we could have given him for free, but instead, we're spending around 7-8 million to get him back.

Also, I think Parma would have played a player with Giovinco's talent no matter what, even if they had an option to sign him or not. They're not that great of a team to not let him play. But thats a completely different discussion for now.

I want him back :D but he has to stop cry like a baby and look at elia :D (he didn't play a single 90 minutes and still isn't crying.)

he needs to work hard and proof conte he is better then Vuci (which he is IMO).

Elia has not shown anything and isn't crying.
Giovinco had shown everything and he wasn't crying either. Also Giovinco didn't say anything for 2 years, lets see how Elia will be when he'll constantly get benched for 2 years even if he plays good something.

I am very suprised elia isn't crying since he did that after being benched one time at HSV. he deserves more also.
Giovinco did cry he didn't get a chance.
Giovinco did some good things for us. But I do remember games where he went invisible also. I do admit he should had got a proper change, but there is a possibility if he comes back he will be benched again. He just has to proof conte he has what it takes.

Apparantly Elia has done that.

Forza Gio. I hope he comes back and proves all you doubters wrong; after all, it'll be in the best interests of our beloved club :D
Funny thing is, some turd nuggets had the same argument for marchisio last year and he shut all those punks up. These people never learn, do they?
