I am worried about Giovinco.

[trane]

I have a feeling that he may only end up scoring 20 goals this season. That is simply not enough for the money we pay him. Sure he puts in some assists, but ultimately the point of this sport is scoring.

Maybe it is time for him to go.

[MartinUtd]

It's only a matter of time before Barcelona force a transfer of €30m for the almost 30 year old. Then he can resume his rightful place on European benches nicer than our pitch.

#GiovincoOut

Gonna change my profile pic to Kyle Bekker.

[molenshtain]

Even statistically exceeding the heights of last year wouldn't be necessarily an improvement for him. Those are just stats at the end of the day. Indicators of success. Nothing will compare to the early days of his career here, and the euphoria that came along with it, when Seba would put in otherworldly performances only to have them cancelled out by Warren Creavalle doing Warren Creavalle things. That was football.

Without perpetual failure in the rest of the squad, his greatness no longer shines so bright. Sell him. He's boring now.

[Oldtimer]

You can't be serious.

Giovinco is a big reason why BMO Field has such high attendance.

[mistercorporate]

Either he's sarcastic or a certified dumbass...Giovinco is the truth! He's taking us all the way to the top.

What are you smoking ? I'm serious.

[Red CB Toronto]

Is this thread a joke, not only Seba doing great things himself but with Jozy back, they actually make each other even better. It's quite something to watch.

[Richard]

Its an obvious joke thread, relax.

[ensco]

Ahh, trane, that is good.

that gets 4 fuads

[Canary10]

He might not be scoring as much, but he does all the right things off the ball.

[TFC Tifoso]

lol....well done trane...

I guess this is a joke thread from the slack Altidore was taking......I was very critical of Altidore earlier this year, but I'll hold my hands up and say he has been great since coming back.

I won't take back my criticisms, as I believe that for his wage, goal scoring should be part of the deal, but man is he ever doing it now!

[ManUtd4ever]

Trane, you forgot the sarcasm emoticon, lol. You're getting people riled up in here.

[Detroit_TFC]

lol

Never going to give you up, never going to let you down...

[Detroit_TFC]

We soon are going to be the easy prank targets of all time - "hey did you see that tweet about Giovinco? WHATTTT weowejnkaewladkaldjdsjk..."

[105]

Next up, ban Nutella!

[Yohan]

I'm worried about Giovinco scoring too much. He's making every team in MLS look like bunch of chumps. I think I heard Ken Tribett of Union had to go see a therapist after Giovinco skinned him so badly. Scott Caldwell of NE and Sean Franklin of DCU are still trying to find their shorts. He's going to make every player in MLS cry in their sleep. That's just mean.

[trane]

Ahh, trane, that is good.

I was missing the old board days, so I gave it a try.

[flatpicker]

Hahaha!

How did anyone not see the humour in this immediately???

Great job Trane.

[OgtheDim]

lol

Never going to give you up, never going to let you down...

That Seattle TIFO was the worst thing I've ever seen.

[AdamAM]

This is fantastic

[Auzzy]

LOL LOL LOL.

Some people.... :D

Unless he scores at least 5 goals via header each season, he just ain't worth it. His goal celebrations really haven't been up to snuff lately either. #GiovincoOut

[trane]

#GiovincoOut, love it.

Flats, I new you would appreciate it.

[paul-collins]

Scooter celly or GTFO

[Thomas]

Where is Roogsy when you need him?

[ensco]

I would like to see Giovinco in central defense. We're wasting him up front.

[James17930]

I heard from a very highly placed inside source within MLSE yesterday that Giovinco stubbed his toe on a lamppost and now he hates the 'stupid Toronto infrastructure' and is considering playing in China for a big payoff.

My source is legit.

[Cashcleaner]

Fuck, ensco. I was drinking soda when I read that!

[currystain37]

#GiovincoOut

Gonna change my profile pic to Kyle Bekker.

I should make my profile pic Andrea Lombardo to relive the good old days.

[DinamoTFC]

LMAO at everyone totally missing the sarcasm. Good one trane.

[Initial B]

I don't have so much of a problem with the number of goals, but I'd really like to see more headers from him. He needs to be more well rounded. And more assists would be nice, too.

[Thomas]

He really needs to step it up in defense. He needs to play his position and stop more goals from going in.

[StokeciTFC]

I don't like his tongue out when he celebrates. He needs to work on something less tonguey.

[Joe Kool]

I heard he was going to get into a player/coach role next season and the team has been told to learn Italian in between practices in their free time.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Joe-ving Co. - Building better scoring records for a better tomorrow.

[CanadaLFC]

He only scores easy tap ins. Lets see some ability, some long range goals. He needs some versatility in his arsenal.

[trane]

Fucking so true, no headers, to little defense, and his celebrations are off. What kind of player is that?????


And yes, can he not score from our side of the field, just once in a while???

[Richard]

Im worried about his lack of golf swing celebrations, he might only shoot par at the golf course, needs more practice.

[Abou Sky]

I have a feeling that he may only end up scoring 20 goals this season. That is simply not enough for the money we pay him. Sure he puts in some assists, but ultimately the point of this sport is scoring.

Maybe it is time for him to go.

It's your money?

[ensco]

It's your money?

Gig is up. Time for the longtime posters to let everyone in on the secret.

trane is Larry Tanenbaum. "trane" is short for "rub a manly trane", which is an anagram of Larry Tanenbaum.

Now you know.

[mistercorporate]

-self deleted cuz i'm taking too much advantage of the mod leniency- :D

[flatpicker]

I really hope Giovinco sits out tonight's game.
He needs to take a break until he gets his confidence back.

[Redcoe15]

Two words that will help Giovinco's on field performance:

[Alixir]

Have you ever seen Giovinco clear the ball off the line....No! He does not contribute enough to this team...out.

[DoubleUp]

He's shit.:facepalm:

[Fort York Redcoat]

Um anyone looking at this thread differently today? Were there assurances that groin strain is over and done with?

[shwade]

Curse of the jinx yet again

[OgtheDim]

Um anyone looking at this thread differently today? Were there assurances that groin strain is over and done with?S

Medical scan today. News likely to come out tomorrow.

[Soccer Mum]

This thread was cursed from the start. Good going, guys.

[TFC/ARSENAL]

I don't have so much of a problem with the number of goals, but I'd really like to see more headers from him. He needs to be more well rounded. And more assists would be nice, too.

What you are saying is that he needs to play taller. That could happen with better off-season nutrition.

[mistercorporate]

lol..

[OgtheDim]

FWIW

Journos seem to think he will return for the NYRB game.

[Ajax TFC]

Team wins without him anyways. I guess he wasn't key to our success after all. For what he gets paid, we could get another USMNT star. Or maybe a stud DP CB

[mistercorporate]

Yeah, we need an elite striker like Kyle Bekker.

[105]

He was a complete no show against Chicago.

[Oldtimer]

This thread was intended as a one-off joke (that was funny at the time), not for serious Giovinco discussion. Please continue Seba discussion here:
