Giovinco was way more important for Parma than Jovetic was for Viola. Gio even literally almost lead a bad Parma team single handedly to Europe. He had much better production and is less injury prone.
The hype is bigger around Jovetic and he still has a lot of untapped potential so his price is probably higher but to dismiss Giovinco like that is just wrong when the difference isn't that big..for now.

Your response is expected and predictable, given that you are one of the most ardent supporters and biggest fanboys of Gio. I'm not saying Giovinco is a bad player, far from it in fact. However, Jovetic is 22 (one serious injury doesn't make him injury prone), and when on form has done more than Gio. You disregard his goals and contributions to the Viola cause, not to mention his spectacular CL performances against Bayern and Liverpool. Giovinco is not as physically imposing, and I feel he isn't as versatile as JoJo. I might be wrong, but I don't think so.
Giovinco had a magnificent season, but Jovetic also scored 12 goals in a season where he wasn't always available, and not 100% fit.

Thats just a feeling from the preseason.
He is a superb player and his last season showed that. I think he is feeling the pressure of coming back to the team which almost crapped his career, but he will do good, i have no doubts about that. Like Jovetic, he is very skilled and this kind of players can oull out an assist and some freekicks even on a bad day, and in good days, well you know.
In the same way u have those feelings of him underperforming.... im pretty sure that if we give him continuity in any form... this guy will surely average a good score by the end of the season.
so yeah, you might be wrong.
IMO, we really need a cavani type... that is where we need to splash the cash... but if we come to Jojo or nothing... of course we need to try to get him at least.
Its now very late on the mercato tho, not sure if viola will release him now.

It doesn't matter if we need a CF or etc, a quality player like Jovetic isn't up for grab on daily basis. You jump on such opportunities so quick since it will upgrade the team in quality, I have always believed in quality over quantity when it comes to the transfer market. Marotta has done a good job in the market, but he needs to get a bit loose and maybe overpay a bit for such players. He's been stubborn on paying the value of the players, but in today's market, most players are over valued. So it is time to overpay by 5-7 millions, and treat it like an investment. You need to risk it every now and then to make it big, you can't expect big things (CL glory) with our current transfer market ideology.
+RepWho cares if I'm a Gio supporter or not? Thats not the point. You are a Jovetic fanboy, who cares? Thats not the discussion in hand.
And I have no idea what the point was of this post? I just said Jovetic is a great player and worth more than Giovinco. You are the one underrating Gio and overrating Jovetic in the process. In no way am I discrediting Jovetic, I just have a problem with you discrediting Gio's season while comparing him to Jovetic.

I'm not discrediting Gio. I think he had a magnificent season. However, I don't think he's likely to repeat it for two reasons:
1) He's not going to be the focal point at Juventus; hence, he doesn't need to do things on his own.
2) I personally feel he has the skills set, but lacks the temperament to play for a big club and shine in big games.
The bottom line is, I think Gio will be solid if unspectacular for us. A lot of people who expect him to weave his magic might end up being disappointed. That's all I'm saying

And that second point you just made is just hypothetical and stuff that still hasn't happened. Not going to dive into a discussion about that.
