I wonder if the injury bug will lessen now that Zac has his fitness guys in charge....cant be any worse than what we've been dealing with the past 2 months

Also, a bit off topic, does anyone have a link to the Juventus Channel ?? There was a justin.tv link not too long ago, but the guy has been offline since October

Amauri does not need to start. Our mids have been scoring most of our goals anyways, why not let a youngster start up top?

Yeah Livorno is a good game to try and blend some youngsters with these injuries. Forza Immobile, Yago and Marrone

You know, a few years back we had one of our most promising strikers ever in the youth ranks. The guy was scoring goals for fun, was one of the top scorers ever for our youth teams (maybe even the top scorer, can't quite remember it).
A lot of people, including myself, had high hopes for him, thinking he should be given a chance in the senior team asap.
Alas, that didn't happen & the kid ended up being loaned out and/or co-owned all the time.

The kid I'm talking about here is Paolucci.


And before someone thinks I'm anti young players: I'm not. But it's important to realise that impressing with the Primavera means very little, if anything.

You'll never see what players actually is if you don't give him any chance in main team.
Name me 1 player that we co-owned / loaned that has turned out to be good enough to play for us as a regular starter.
I'm talking about players that did not return to us, so no need to mention Criscito since we don't yet know how that situation will turn out.

I think my point was pretty simple: At one moment in time Paolucci was arguably our most promising Primavera player. Now, a few years down the road, most people seem to agree that he is not good enough to play for us.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that I was thinking about former youth players.

Wasn't Perrotta already in his twenties when he joined us? Or am I completely wrong here & did he get to play for our Primavera?

Name one youth player that was given an honest chance in the first team, consistently for a season or even a half season to prove their worth recently, lets say in last 4 years? (Exclude marchisio)

I'm talking about 17,18, 19, maybe even 20....but no one older than 21 or 22.
