Giovinco still has a place in T.O. and was seen having a good time with Manning in a private box at a recent TFC game at BMO Field. On top of that, Manning and other members of Toronto’s front office have been had meetings recently with Giovinco’s agent Andrea D’Amico about the possible signing of some new players. Manning told the Sun that he had D’Amico at his home for dinner recently along with coach Greg Vanney, GM Ali Curtis and head scout Jack Dodd — though he stressed that there is nothing to report about Giovinco at this time.
