Sebastian Giovinco (84 Viewers)

[Hydde]

i can perfectly see him slot in seemlessly for vucinic. from what i remember by seeing him play from time to time giovinco will be a smaller version of vucinic. giovinco has a higher work ethic and let's not kid ourselves, he can't be less prolific than vucinic. even though mirko scored a few times at the end of the season, he still did fluff many chances which giovinco probably had buried.

This.

People here totally underestimate his technique, and above all HIS DRIBBLING. The guy has an innate ability to pass defenders in small spaces, because his short body lets him do twists and short change of directions much easier than a taller forward. While this is also a con against strong and tall defenders, he will earn a lot of freekicks for us that way. Because small and quick footed annoyances like him are better on the floor than letting him withtheball doing tricks.

I have seen him dribble past players out of the blue like nobodys business.

no hes a provincial player because only a provincial side was interested in his services, for good measure too. Coaches and scouts all agree on that designation. On the other hand, Mirko plays for the itlaian champions, and he was a big part of making that happen. To say that the midget is better is what is really ridiculoous here.

lol.



Let me remind you that this provincial dude owned us several times the last 2 years with our current champion defenders.

i guess that makes pellissier the ballon d'or then? but hey at least you are putting into words some thoughts, as irrelevant as they may be, as opposed to your usual smilie responses.

That makes no sense whatsoever. In that case Grosso is a better player than Gio because he plays for the champions of Italy.

[Albertmare]

Of course my longer posts are not directed at you, because obviously from all the haters crew, you are the only one that seems to have a very low IQ rating.

You post nonsense after nonsense. Is almost embarrasing, so here is another smilie for you

And yes Grosso is better than jewfucko ,
he was a CAMPIONI DEL MONDO !!!

 

[Delle Alpi]

The kid is perfect fit starting for midtable teams, where there isn't that much pressure compared to teams like Juventus. At Juventus he would be a great option off the bench, so don't expect him to be the savoir an. I wouldn't build my hopes around Giovinco, this team needs world class players to compete for CL next year, Giovinco is not a world class player, and he doesn't have the potential to be one.

Jewfucko " i wholeheartedly agree with president Ghirardi , i'm worthed 40M now , Juventus need to pay me that amount , they can always ask my lovers to donate "

This is true. Don't forget Grosso stepped up big time, 3 massive moments for Azzurri, vs Australia, Germany and the one that won it all. At least he doesn't choke.

come on man Mirko is a big reason why we got this scudetto, he was so instrumental in these last 10 fixtures. giovinco would fold even without pressure. provincial player, and those who ranked his prospect behind miccoli were right.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you on the first part. There is no way of knowing whether or not Giovinco would have folded under the pressure. There really isn't much of a sample size to go off of during his time with Juve. He had splendid moments, and he had disappointing moments, which is par for the course for any player where one of his primary attributes are a flair for the dramatic.

Whether or not he is a provinical player or not has yet to be seen, but one could argue that he and Vucinic have almost, and I state almost, followed the same path.

Vucinic was all-world during his formative years at Lecce, whereas during his time at Roma he scored a goal once every 3.5 games, give or take. Yes, a bigger club than parma could ever hope to be, but also taken into consideration that he had Totti who was still at or near the top of his game during those years, whereas Giovinco last year had Janet for half a season, and not much better than that this year.

Also, Giovinco's primary role is not that of a goal scorer. He was never projected to be an 18-20 goal scorer. He was projected to be a facilitator, and score any where from 10-12 goals per season. A mini-Vucinic, one would say.

Although I am very neutral on this whole Giovinco situation, it is evident that his accomplishments at Parma are to be lauded, regardless. How that translates to a bigger club, with a role that does not mandate that he be the focal point of the attack, remains to be seen.

Yeah, he was still just potential.

 

[Hydde]

And thats why we need to bring him back and throw him on the fire to see for once and for all what he has got.
Otherwise we will regret it later.

The situation we are into was fortold.
Esp by me and Hus and even before the deal was signed, it takes a complete retard not to see what was coming.
The choice to loan him out with the right to buy for such a pitiful fee was one of the most idiotic choices Marotta has ever done and one of my strong points of criticism.
By now we know that Marotta is not that bright, but he was suppossed to know his Italian football.
It was the worst possible moment in Giovinco's carrer to concede his contract share.
There was absolutely no chance that he would not raise his price tag, after a year in a club that he could be given the chance to prove his value.

I can accept the decision to sell him, but not the decision to sell him off, this is a disrespect to our capital and sign of uncompetitiveness.
Unfortunately Marrotta has done and is keep doing many such mistakes.

But now we are champions and are back in CL, we also have a sub options in almost every line and dont need more of the trademarl Marotta mediocre trash players. There is no place to hide now, no excuses left.
Lets see what Marotta delivers. We had the player and we could keep him or sell him for a decent price.
Marotta chose to throw away half of his contract for peanuts, lets see how this pays off now!

Truth. And IMO he should redeem this stupid mistake and give the guy a go. At least i know that conte is not out of his mind like marotta, and he rates the midget fondly.

I just cant wait for this mercato to come. If the last one was make or break for marotta, this one is like his last stand. If he fails to deliver now, ill dare to say that we will seriously need to consider if we really need him or not, because, with all the pluses he has now on his hands to attract and buy top rated players, he has simply no excuses.

You dont need a magoc ball to pedict that Giovinco would be a valuable asset to a lesser club.
An asset that they couldnt afford not use. A talent that could outshine the rest of the team.
A logical conclusion is that his price tag would raise, simple, plain logic...

This thread deserves to be with infidel Criscito's one in the History section. I suggest we merge both cause we don't need many threads for cunts.

Mirko was a huge reason we got the Scudetto. Absolutely. However, I think your comments about Giovinco are a bit premature, man.

We won't know much about how he performs under pressure until he's playing meaningful games for a top club. Last meaningful game I remember him playing for us was against Chelsea - and he was pretty good in that one. In fairness, he was also quite good down the stretch for Parma, as it became apparent that they had a crack at Europe - so that bodes in his favor as well. I thought he might fade after his good start, and as the season wore on - just because of his lack of physicality - but he looks like he's made pretty decent gains in his strength and conditioning since he was with us.

As for the part about ranking his prospect behind Miccoli, at least from the vantage of stats, Giovinco's numbers were better at age 25. He's also coming off a lot of discontinuity as well, so I don't think that projecting his career is a particularly easy task at this point.

I feel like it could still go either way, but provided things don't get stupid with Parma, I think he could be very useful.
