I still think he is a Serie A player, but injuries have really hammered him.

The 'new Del Piero' is an unfortunate tag given to virtually every skillful striker in the Juventus Primavera - Chiumiento, Palladino, Volpato, now Giovinco. No-one can realistically replace him, these kids just need to create a Serie A career and then kick on from there.

Word is that Chimenti will be 3rd choice, another GK will be brought in as number 2. It's unreasonable to have Chimenti possibly playing 10 games.

Oliveira has apparently improved a lot in the last season. Itll be great to see him play in the Serie A again because he could potentially return to a more influential role on the left wing at Juve once Nedved leaves at the end of the season... if Pvel actually does retire this time around.

Essabr at Vicenza is another one to keep an eye on, from what i have seen of Primavera highlights he is one to watch for sure.
