Co-ownership deal is pretty system IMHO. Under the traditional loan system, lower tier teams have incentive to favor old established stars who can help them out immediately, since they won't accrue any benefits from development of youngsters. Co-owernship is a system that has been designed to solve such incentive problems and at the same time (with more cynical reasons) allow teams to pamper with their books. Personally, I don't buy this liquid stuff argument whereby teams generate quick cash flow, since (1) feeder team rarely has big cash to spend and (2) youngsters rarely cost much anyway. Hence, any cash generated by these deals will be marginal at best.
Now JuveGer hits the main point cogently. Co-owernship won't be necessary if the big teams had their own in-house feeders clubs in lower division. Under such structure big teams will have opportunity to give their youngsters good competitive games, and at the same time keep the benefits by themselves. Unfortunately, for us anyway, with the co-ownership we will ultimately have to share the benefit of youngsters development with other teams. In the case of Cristico, the kid has developed beyond our imagination (presumably, since I havent seen him play in action), hence the price happened to larger than we anticipated. With the benefit of hindsight, I am pretty sure our management would not have sold half of his contract so cheaply. But hindsight is 20/20 and you cant run the club based on hindsights.
Personally, I liked what the management did with Cristico. If they let the process drag on till the blind auction then there is a possibility that we might be overbid by Genoa with the aid of Milan or Inter, just as we did to Roma on Chiellini. With youngsters it is rarely hard to estimate true market value since there arent many comparable deals, which means that once other big teams get into the fray, you have no choice but to revise your original estimation upwards. In another words, there is a good chance that the player might be more valuable than you first thought, and consequently spend more to attain his service. Of course, the opposite could happen, and as it panned out both Juve and Genoa found a figure which they both thought was reasonable. If anything the value on Critisco suggests, the kid is for real, and we have captured a player of real potential. Nonetheless, I havent seen the kid play in action, so I won't jump to conclusion that he is the next Nesta, especially after absolutely demolishing Clichy's lack of experience with Arsenal. That will double standard on massive scale. Lets just hope our scout is just as reliable as Arsenal's.
