In a difficult position with his contract running down, do you risk giving him a new contract, have him flop and watch him leech and see no one take him on those wages or cash in on your losses now,
You give him the contract, because he's an asset and the club wants to be able to get a decent return on him if it turns out the new coach doesn't want him.

Giovinco is still young, and thought fairly highly of in Italy. If we put him on the market, there will be interest.

young? perhaps in Italy but lets not kid ourselves, he's not a youngster any more

You're right, he's not a youngster at this point.

What I meant, was that at 27 he's not an old player, either. Still young enough to sign him to a new deal, and move him later if need be.

Anyway, the entire point of the comment is that successful teams don't just let useful, desirable (to us and other teams in Italy) assets walk for nothing. It's bad business.

As if Giovinco and De Ceglie are close to being the same class of player?

Get a grip, Pedro. :p

Giovinco, when he wasn't wanted before, left. If it's made known to him that he's not wanted here, he'll be willing to go again. There will be plenty of Italian teams interested if we decide to sell, and we'll certainly be able to get more money for him if he's not on an expiring deal. Very simple, really.
