lol you wouldnt even call Zaza up yet you would Start Gabbiadini

Agree with the formation in your previous post if you replace Gabbiadini with Zaza/Pele
Of course. Gabbiadini > Zaza.

Zaza is a good 4th striker for us but is far from int'l std. He and Immobile look like Borriello playing for the NT.

Gab has solid technique and a great left foot. Obviously far from a top striker, but he has shown his talent since U21 days. Just like Belotti has afterwards.

Gab, Belotti, likely Lapadula (based just on highlights), and Pelle are all better than Zaza.

Lapadula plays in Serie B at 26, Belotti just had his 1st good season for a low table team. Pelle is debatable but hes already in the NT. Gabbiadini at best is same level as Zaza, cant see how one deserves to start while the other doesent even deserve to be called up.

Zazas playing style brings something much needed and different of Pelle from the bench, aggresion, energy, pressing, counterattacking threat. His playing style and attitude makes him an excellent sub striker for Conte, cant see Gabbiadini offering something similar

For NT i'd bring Gabbiadini,Zaza,Berardi,Bernardeschi,Elsharawy and Insigne and if possible one between Belotti and Immobile (if fit).
It's useless to bring the ones like Eder,Pellè or whatever let's bring the promising youth.

With those kind of players Italy should play 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 ideally but knowing Conte he'll go for 3-5-2.
Too bad cause a 4-2-3-1 looking that way would be exciting
Buffon
De Sciglio-Bonucci-Barzagli-Florenzi
Verratti-Parolo/Sturaro/De Rossi(whatever)
Bernardeschi-Insigne-El Sharawy
Zaza/Gabbiadini/Belotti​

:sergio:

Some idiots in nipples representing the consumers of garbage and committee of sporting rights to steal shit are asking for Juve to stop claiming they have 34 scudetti and say 32 because it's illicit to do so.

:rolleyes:

Gab being better than Zaza shouldn't be news. That's been the case for years. You'll agree with me re Zaza, Gab and Belotti in a couple of years.

Re Lapa, I'll stick to "likely" and "based on just highlights" for now because I've to see him in an actual game next season to form a better opinion.

Sporting director Walter Sabatini claims young Italians aren't good enough for Roma, while Francesco Totti 'deserves a new contract'.

The Giallorossi have less and less home nationals in their starting XI, with only Stephan El Shaarawy and Alessandro Florenzi among the consistent starters.

“Look, just today I was asking my scouts to find some valid Italians, from Serie A down to the lowest tiers,” Sabatini said, as reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport. “We examined them, and it was a disaster.

“There are no such players, at Roma they would end up being on the margins. People say that we only buy abroad because we get financial bonuses out of it. That's just talk.

“Who are the only valid young Italians? [Fiorentina's Federico] Bernardeschi, perhaps [Milan's Alessio] Romagnoli, but I suspect [joint-CEO Adriano] Galliani would show some resistance.

“But we'll confirm [Stephan] El Shaarawy. He deserves it and he has a great future. The cost [€13m] isn't too high.

In a couple of years I might agree but right now Zaza is better than these guys

Sadiq, when played, was much better than Iturbe, Doumbia, Iago Falque and even Ibarbo and Dzeko. Nice work, Saba.

If you dont think he has a point about the current generation of Italians/Italian talent pool in general,then you people are living in denial.Not that i agree fully anyway with his comments.
Pretty sure a guy who extensively scouts for players as his main job would know more about the Italian talent pool than Tuz forum posters.
