One of my favourite young players, to the point I watch Bundesliga (and CRO nt) because of him occasionally, other then Diego.
But it depends, he is not ready yet to be a fullblown impact player and starter, even if has alot of talent. Needs to develop more. But this signing depends on if he is signed as someone to carry the team, or as a promising player who will break into the team.

We should buy him and play him. Loaning does squat, if he's made up for it, he'll manage, if he's not, well...Besides, he'll learn more with us than with Siena or Empoli. Not to mention it will look ridiculous for a player that's played CL this whole season to be loaned to a mid table Italian club. I would be, however, OK with him staying at Schalke on loan for one more year.
Yeah he is too good for Siena level loaning, its not like he is that unproven or not that big of a talent. He can be in the squad and play now and then until he proves he is good enough for a starter, and shows how top of a player he is.
That would be enough for Juve (actually having a quality player on the squad), or a another year in good level like schalke to develop. But he be bit insulting to loan him to a small Serie a team. He has impressed way too much in Schalke to be that disrespected.

Some times loaning a player is a risk...For the reason being not even giving anytime to play...just an example would be Giovinco...He wouldn't start much under Cagni but with Malesani he is giving first team football making him a key player for Empoli...Sometimes if can even be a Coach or club who ruins top prospect players..........on the other hand loans do have some pros rather then cons on the fact to make the player get some experince on a rather below par team....If i had to loan out players i would loan them out to teams struggling out of the regulation zone due to the fact they would get more playing time then a mid table team and that the coach would most lucky rotate to the team due to fitness levels.....but like i said this could work or not..loans are always a risk

Juve chase Rakitic and Pique
Schalke 04 starlet Ivan Rakitic has spoken of his “pride” and hope of a transfer to Juventus, while they also eye Manchester United’s Gerard Pique.
The Bianconeri need to bolster their squad considerably over the summer if they are to mount a credible Scudetto challenge next season and work is already underway.
This morning Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport claims that the club is “very close” to signing United’s Spanish talent Pique.
The versatile young defender, who can play as a centre-back or right-back, has a contract which expires in June 2009.
Meanwhile, another target is Schalke 04 midfielder Rakitic, who has just reached the Champions League quarter-finals.
“It is a great honour to know a prestigious side like Juve are interested in me,” he told Croatian newspaper Jutarnji Sport.
“I hope something can come to fruition as soon as possible.”
Inter and other top European sides are also tracking Rakitic, who has been attributed with an £8m price-tag.
He would be the heir to Pavel Nedved (pictured) in the Juve line-up, as the Czech is reaching the end of his career aged 36 by the start of next season.
“I feel ready for a big club,” added Rakitic. “I won’t make an issue of where it is – England, Spain, Italy, there are no problems for me.
“The important thing is to have wider prospects for my career. This is why the idea of Juventus excites me.”
