That must be why I was so happy when we made him manager.

Let's put things in perspective again. He had a (supposedly) good season for Villareal B.

:delpiero: I have asked the question many times before: Name me one of our previous youth talents that turned out to be good enough to play for us, but who we lost because we never gave him a chance. I'm still eagerly awaiting an answer. (Well Perotta was mentioned, but I'm not quite sure...

Hold on, my point was that when our youngsters don't get any chances, they'll move on to another club. They are obviously not born world class. Now which of the ones that have moved on to different clubs & turned out to be good enough for Juve? Very little, if any. As for the names you...

Touché! I'm such a fool, I just can't help it sometimes. But hey, you know the feeling :D

I truly wonder how anyone here could have come to that conclusion. Again with this (not directed at you specifically). Has it ever crossed anyone's mind that our Primavera players may not be / have been that great? Honestly, how many of our former Primavera players (who did not get any...

A Dutchie with a brain :shocked: I never thought I would live to see the day :touched: . But you're dead on about the running & fighting for the shirt. I've seen too many games this season where (some of) our players seemingly didn't care.

Of course not, Ken. We have arrived at an absolutely critical point in our season where we can no longer afford any slip ups. It is therefore better to rely on proven & experienced players. :shifty: In all seriousness though, Iago is probably far from ready for the 1st team.

Smart choice :D

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

What's the point in him playing with the Bari primavera? Might as well call him back & let him play with our own primavera. Makes it a lot easier to monitor his progress if you ask me.

Yes, I have read all those posts (otherwise I would not have interfered). Yes, you both made some good points. Yes, most of these past loan deals haven't exactly served us well. Like I said myself, I'm not to keen on the endless loaning & co-owning myself (which have a lot to do with the...

No need to convince me about the dangers of loaning out players. I am very well aware of those. And like I said, we have way too much of those deals anyway (although that probably has more to due with the Italian system, rather than Juve's own persistence to send youngsters away). But...

I'm not a big fan of the endless loans we go through, even less of the co-owning crap (should be illegal), but that's a bit harsh if you ask me. There's no denying that this Iago loan has been a disaster. But do you really think that Bari as a club (be it coach or management) would keep a...

In short: * he hoped to play tonight, it would have been great but the coach thinks others are better than him * he doesn't play because he needs to become stronger (physically) & that takes a lot of time * Says he has a good relationship with his coach * Doesn't know if he'll change...
