Some more news from Milan Comedy Central. From this year San Siro's natural grass will be reinforced with 30% of synthetic one. In the winter months they will be using new technology MLR (mobile lightning ring) to heat up the pitch so that the real grass could grow. But there is a problem. The machine is gigantic and view of the fans will be obstructed so Milan fans will
pay 50 Euros to watch machine if a problem remains unsolved.

The guys you mentioned are fairly special talents, so I wouldn't expect them to get loaned. The really special Italian players don't tend to be loaned out either.
There is certainly a lack of trust in Italy, but they aren't going to have any choice but to use kids more, as budgets are cut and - like you said of the Brazilian teams - a significant chunk of the squads will need to be made up of home-grown youngsters.
I think a big problem in Italy - and something that contributes to the lack of trust - is the lack of a proper reserve league or 'B' team, or whatever you want to call it. Even if you think a player has talent, it's pretty tough to find the opportunity to find out if he is really up to playing against men, rather than other kids. Pre-season is about the only time a kid can expect to get some playing time in a setting that might actually allow him to prove himself.
There are also deeper issues in Italy, such as having presidents like Zamparini who are so trigger happy that it hardly encourages a coach to risk putting an unproven kid in the team.
Interesting what you say about Brazil, in the past, focusing on producing physical players. I've heard the same thing from people explaining why sub-Saharan Africa produces very few technical, creative players - it's because the European scouts don't have that sort of player in mind when they go looking for talent in Africa.
Thanks for answering.
