It's fine to think Pereyra is better than Saponara but you can't really compare the two cuz there not very alike. Pereyra is versatile and can be b2b, attacking mid or wing. He is perfect as a super sub and as a player that can fill in when a starter is injured. Saponara is a number 10 and is a facilitator that creates for teammates. He is slow. I also wouldn't be surprised if Allegri thinks he can be regista. They just are very different players. Getting Saponara doesn't really effect Pereyra that much.
This is what kind of "talent" (soon 24 years old) Italy musters these days... so sad considering the days when even not ADP was a starter. Things really have changed.
This is true, but its also because these things work in cycles. Sometimes an amazing generation comes through the system, and sometimes the grassroots in club football of countries just doesn't facilitate youth development in a suitable manner. Im pretty sure though, the next golden generation for the Azzurri is around the corner with the likes of Berardi and Florenzi and Romanogli breaking through.
