Well, I guess you're right. How can he be that good if he didn't even feature for their Primavera? Still, from what I've seen from him, which was not that much admittedly, he looks good. There's something about the kid, but I have a weak spot for short Spanish wizards, so I might be taking my love for him a bit far.
We can't get any worse though surely? It's understandable he won't play him, but I just want to see some young players, eager to prove themselves, in black and white right now. I'm tired of watching everything go downhill with plenty of rather old players.
Players like him and Rossi have plenty of potential to atleast give them a shot when you're at rock bottom anyway. At the same time it's obviously not a great time to step in for a youngster, and carry the pressure.

I agree that it would be nice to see some youthful enthusiasm and we'd may as well give a couple of youngsters a chance, we can't play much worse. Throwing youngsters into the first team just doesn't seem t be the done thing in Italy though. 26 year old Luca Antonini was a "youngster" at Milan last season. Even Giovinco isn't that much of a youngster any more at 22. He's being treated like 18 year olds are in other countries.
That's the problem. It's like it's forbidden to play players under 25, which is rather ridiculous. I know not every youngster will become a great player and they won't insta-save us from this crisis, but it's rather painful how youth is treated in Italy in general.
Even in a quite severe injury crisis we never considered playing any of the youngsters, which is a bloody joke.

IF he can be healthy and fit for a sustained period of time, he might be a double edged sword for us. For the team, VERY good. But he brings the kind of securing impact for this team that may and has before, clouded this "team"s obvious flaws, in doing so pretty much save Ciro's job bit more with better results then we been getting (dampen the floodgates of suckage).
You might think I'm giving one player too much credit. But it was zero coincidence that Momo got injured almost exacly a year ago, and we went on 2 months of awful form that opened up the floodgates that was/is this awful defence (like a switch, from cleansheets to getting thumped hard). Pretty much contributed quite a bit to covering for that defence, and in a sense "covering" for Ranieri (Ale did that offensively, Momo&Giorgio defensively, Momo more then Giorgio in covering the space in midfield).
Now Ranieri ATLEAST had a decent organised structure for the team, so one player could contribute bit more in that set up. While Ciro's team is more of free for all Mad Max kinda excuse of a team, Momo wont be able to influence as much. But yeah, if healthy and available as much as possible, I except him to "hide" Ciro's and this "team"s flaws more and make life easier for Ciro.
