Juventus are also believed to be interested in the pair and even if the Bianconeri steal in for the two South Americans, Napoli Coach Edy Reja [pictured] is confident he will be able take them on loan.

Napoli's top scorer this season with eight Serie A strikes to his name is Ezequiel Lavezzi, an Argentine signed from San Lorenzo last summer.

Confuse things? What is there to be confused about? Are we confused about whether or not Palladino is a left-winger or a forward? Are we confused to the age of Del Piero and Nedved, as if they have fake birth certificates, not knowing their exact birth date? Are we struggling to remember which way is left, which way is right? Is Palladino really that good of a player? Do we have a bunch of Messis coming through our Primavera?
OHHHH MY GOD, TOO MANY TALENTS, I'M SO CONFUSED...
Yeah... and let him waste away.
Yeah, so many great youth players. You know, like besides Giovinco, we have Palladino, Lanzafame, and uhhh, umm... Immobile and Ayub Daub...
Yes, you are dead wrong. Fonseca was from Uruguay.
And nah, Argentinians don't settle well in Italy. It took Maradona and Batigol three thousand appearances before they could stomach eating a plate of pasta.
