A lot can be said about young players needing to sit in the bench and learning from the older players, but when a player has shown that he is the real deal and ready to take in the responsibility but manager after manager refuse to play him, it's time for the player to do some growing up and move to a club where his talents are appreciated and where he will be given the chance to shine.
Giovinco has long been touted as the heir apparent of Del Piero, yet Juventus went and bought Diego last year from Bremen, which meant that the atomic ant had to endure another season sitting on the bench waiting for someone to get injured. Giovinco's talents are there for everyone to see, yet the coaches aren't willing to take a little risk. Even when things were going down the hill Ciro Ferrara refused to play him. And even Zacheroni has not played him when he was available as much as he should have. They fail to see the element of danger the youngster provides for the team. Diego, as phenomenal as he is, does not quite have the dribbling skills that Giovinco has. Diego is a playmaker, but that's where his tools end.
If he were at a club like Arsenal, Giovinco would be getting a lot of playing time and adding to the gunners' dangerous attack. Italians are notorious for not wanting to leave their country, but even in Italy there are teams where the youngster would flourish. At Roma he would be welcomed by Ranieri. Sampdoria and even Napoli and Genoa would make great use of the young Italian. Hopefully he matures fast and realizes that his future success is not at Juventus. Del Piero is the last great player that has been unearthed from Juventus' young side. The club has resorted to buying all their talent, including talent less shmucks like Amauri.
