Me thinks Gasbarroni is a quality player on this day. One of few true wingers out there in Serie A right now.:wink: .
Anyway, I don't think co-ownership is best of deals for youngsters. I believe there is a tendency in the game to unpredict the growth prospect of young players and hence undervaluation.
While co-owernship makes a lot of sense in terms of sporting aspects, which Dominic correctly points out, I can't imagine us netting more than 2m euros from this sale. If Palladino does well, then we have to pay accordingly to buy rest of his contract.
Obviously, by co-owning the player, we give Udinese the incentive to groom Palladino which they do not have if it was a simple loan, but at what cost?
Just to give example, Parma bought Adriano's contract for 1.5m and in a year and halfs time Inter had to spend over 16m to buy the rest of contract. To me, co-owning promising youngster just simply doesnt make a lot of economic sense.
I just hope we stop this practice, and simply make a deal with some team whereby we will consistently provide on an annual basis to loan young promising players. This gives the other team similar incentive to look after the young players, and at the same time enable us to fully capture the benefit of future development of loaned players.
Anyway, I agree with Dominic on Palladino. It is pretty obvious that Bojinov is in front of que in the pecking ATM, and we are probably better off in giving him more playing time against superior opposition.
