Do we have the worst Youth team to 1st team promotion among top European clubs?? I can only think of Chelsea that's comparable. Madrid, United, Barcelona, Bayern, Arsenal have so many youth success stories. Our Primavera needs to be sorted. Also I don't think those co-owns are working out, I can't think of any of them to be starters for Juve in the near future.
Youth Champions League
Real Madrid 6 - 2 Juventus
* Real Madrid bossed us completely. Such a pacy, skillful and classy side
* Real Madrid have a player called Llorente
* Enzo Zidane was playing
* Sakor floated in and out of the match, sometimes for 10-15 minutes. Still has plenty of work to do on his first touch (heavy, and awkward body position)
* Donis looked like our only attacking hope. Troubled their defence on a fair few occasions with good runs and short balls
* Tavanti had his work cut out for him down the right, but made some good clean tackles and interceptions. Could have been 8 goals if it wasn't for him. Worked hard
* Our 1st goal came at 4-0 down. Donis made a good, fast run after a quick turn, beat two defenders and put in a low inviting cross. Tapped in by Buenacasa
* Our 2nd goal came at 4-1 down. Deflection into the area and slid in by Soumah, even though he and another player were offside

It is always a bad idea to scout for talent beyond the Italian border 
We have 4 players in u17 WC that are in UAE right now.
Two Slovakians: Hromada (captain in some games) & Varga, Marzouk from Marocco and Audero (second GK) from Italy.
Marocco and Italy are already in the Round of 16, Slovakia failed to qualify due to the goals difference.
Marzouk scored twice today in the group stage game vs Panama

I heard he is a rounded striker who has a great shot and finish from mid-range in. Maybe like someone we once knew... 
Having not actually seen him play yet I'll take that with a pinch of salt.
That age group has some very good strikers. Luca Clemenza is another to watch, tall second striker with a peach of a left foot, takes a lot of set pieces and comes in from the right side. Also Nicolò Pozzebon who comes from the left side, fairly similar in position to Beltrame, nice skill with the ball, but a little quicker with his feet than Beltrame's languid style.
King Udoh is very much the typical #9, tall, strong and quick, has those crazy African legs
