I think there are some good points made there. If you consider how much those squad fillers cost us - it surely is a big sum of money. Later on complaining about lack of money begins but those could actually land us a very good player.
It's worse when you don't consider those expensive squad fillers reliable enough. It's easier to live with an error from youngster who cost you next to nothing - well he's young he's got to learn. When a player like Peluso or Motta does it everyone gets mad and rightfully so imo.
I think there's needed some balance between youngsters and squad fillers especially when they don't play too much actually but cost quite a lot.

Agreed. But quality is also missing I think. Only 1 player made the Italy under 17, and that was a reserve goal keeper.
Surely those aren't starts because most of the time I checked Bari match stats he barely got minutes.
I personally think Primavera matches are slow paced and lack intensity. Worse still sending the Primavera graduates out to new environments with different football philosophies don't do the players any good, most of our loanees are barely getting minutes in Serie B. Also I believe young players can play with more freedom with quality players around them, if they play in poor teams they will be chasing shadows most of the match. They won't be able to to try out their skills and improve game awareness et al. Pescara for instance worked because there were quite a few good young players in that team.

Stefano Beltrame - 8 apps - 0 goals - 1 assist - 365mins
And yeah some Serie B teams aren't even using our players. We suck at this stuff...
The only ones getting quality time in Serie B are Leali, Rugani & Appelt and then Berardi, Zaza and Gabbiadini in Serie A. Which is good don't get me wrong, but I was hoping to see Beltrame, Padovan, Liviero, Schiavone and Masi get more playing time.
I'm interested in that Marotta quote where he said he wants 4 senior attackers, and 1 youngster. I wonder who he wants to keep and which youth player he wants to promote.

Thanks.
Lost 2-0 to Madrid, but better display than the away leg.

After the manner of away defeat I was starting to think I over-rated some of the Primavera and that the other continental giants have much better youth systems, but this game (atleast from the highlights I saw) we created plenty of chances to score and missed some sitters, so I am not that disheartened.
