He probably realises he won't make the Italy team really anymore. Might as well set himself up for the future and go to a nice country.

I'm sure, he will be back in Italy in next years, same story like Diamanti.

Why is everyone $#@!ting on his decision? If I was him I'd do the same thing...

Why would I want to go play for a Fiorentina type team, and earn less than 2M a season, not play in the CL, probably wouldn't be a star.

When I can go to TFC, probably crush the league, earn 7M (More than triple of what he'll earn in Italy, and more than anyone is making in Serie A currently I believe - I don't think some people understand how much money that actually is...), and be the star of the team.

Giovinco isn't a world beater, there's no real benefit of staying in Europe. Why? So he could make the 5th striker spot for the Azzurri and sit on the bench...which isn't even a guarantee with the young kids coming up.

I don't know..I just think he made the right choice career wise.

Good point.Only De Rossi prick earns the same/little more than him with this transfer.

My thoughts exactly

He will earn 7 million (10 with bonuses) over the entire contract, not per year.

Da luglio, alla Formica Atomica proposto quinquennale da 8,5 milioni di euro l'anno

[Klin]

Hot damn.

 

[Nejc]

I guess the Slovenian site mistranslated it.

But LOL, why would they even offer that much? That is four times as much as he gets now.

 

[Suns]

8.5m a year? Get that Canadian money son!

Because he wouldn't sign otherwise.

Bradley is there and earning 6.5mln/season as far as I know.

 

[adRHCP]

He is one lucky mofo

-Get to play with Juve
-Get to dress Italy #10
-Get paid 7M/year

all of this with 164cm of talent

Nah, he is in North America. Not China. It's not just a money move, good lifestyle as well. Not a huge culture shock.

Giovinco is going to absolutely demolish the MLS. Fair play and good luck to him!

 

[Nejc]

But Bradley is a star for US public. Kaka gets a bit over 7M and he is a superstar. Henry was just over 4M. And those are dollars, not euro.

Anyway, at least he is going away.

 

[Salvo]

Yeah but you still are prying away a player who could play at a high level at most clubs in Europe. Henry, Kaka were both at the end of their careers.

Imagine if he flops, how long is his contract? Some Torres-esqe scenario would be hilarious.

I doubt it though, he'll have the status of being the undisputed star of the team like he was in Parma only playing against less-well organised defences. I'm saying that without having watched nearly any MLS in my life - if the standard of defence is better than I think it is feel free to correct me. Gio has technical ability and pace. His mental deficiency likely won't come into play as he'll be the poster boy over there.

yeah I doubt it too

If a near-40 Cuauhtémoc Blanco teared the league, I can't imagine what will Gio do there. IMO GK tend to suck real hard in the MLS for some reason. I can't comment on defenses. MLS teams can't stand next to Mexican teams, and there's a serious distance between Mexican teams and European teams.

I'm imagining it'll be like when you sign a cheat player to your PES 2005 Master League? Everything goes through him and he ends up with 100 goals in a season.
