Its very true but thats Italian football. It shouldnt surprise anyone. your considered a youngster until about 24. I dont tihnk we'll see a change until all they old coaches and old general managers retire and the new generation starts taking over. But then again they could adopt the old ways because they are use to it so we'll see.
This could very well change when we will get reserve teams like they have in La Liga and the Bundesliga, such as Barcelona B, Bayern Munich B, etc.
Reserve teams like Juventus B, Milan B and Roma B in Serie C1 would really help the development of youth players.
The thing is, Serie A teams coud not at the moment afford a reserve team since they don't own their stadiums. However, since we will be the first team in the country to own privately its own stadium, this might change.
Actually, we could be the first team in Serie A to found a reserve team, if Elkann and co. understand that we need one.
Furthermore, we already reduced for this year the maximum age of the primavera from 20 years old to 19 years old, which we will probably reduce to 18 years old in the next couple of years. At 18 years old, we would send the youngsters to our reserve team and they would get valuable Serie C1 experience, then we could loan then to Serie A teams at 19-20 years old.
Also, I will repeat it again : We absolutely need to keep Pasquato this year. He's already 22 and loaning again woud be useless. If we want to use him, this is the time. I think he has showed that he's good enough to be a sub for LW/SS and if we get injuries(which we will), he might even break into our starting line up at one point.
Having watched him over ten times last season at Modena, I can assure you guys that he can play both LW and SS positions very effectively, even though he's a natural SS. He is also a free kick specialist, he scored 4 of them(IIRC) last season.
