I dont know man, I dont share that enthusiasm about the young players. I remember Bonnuci and Ranochia forming one hell of a solid partnership in Bari when they were young and both (especially rannochia) turned out to be meh.
I remember Giovinco, De Ceglie and Marchiso being out future and very highly rated in that order and everyone was hoping they play but then two of them miserably flopped and turned out mediocre and the latter somewhat better. I recall the great Sorensen, the great David Santon of Inter, Poli the new pirlo, Yago, Insigne, Shaarawy, Elia, the great Ouassim Bouy, the next nesta alberto Masi, Muriel aka the new R9, paladino, Ekdal, lanzafame, cigarini, D'agostino, Niang, Belfodil aka the new benzema and immobile. None of the players mentioned here should ever set foot in a top team. Only Marchiso and Bonnucci barely make the cut at Juve but they wouldnt at better teams.
These were all young players that Tuzzers and their equivalents in Inter and Milan's fan bases always posted formations of and always urged management to turn towards youth. I am sure every member here can identify the players he kept posting about buying or starting. Personally I fell for the Giovinco, De Ceglie and marchisio trio. We had one success story with a youngster and that is Pogba while even the expensive youngster Morata is yet to deliver. The one kid that had a breakthrough season has been sold while everyone here is fapping over a younger player that hasnt had a breakthrough season yet (berrardi).
Wake up and smell the coffee, we are not Ajax. We neither have their scouts nor are attractive to young talents as they are nor do we have a history of growing players. The fans of every team think very highly of their youngsters and then cheer for the next wave of youngsters while forgetting about the flopped old ones. Porto has a mix of seasoned and young insanely promising players and I am sure we dont want to be them
I want the @Lion treatment if one of Sturaro, Zaza, Berrardi, Rugani turns out world class or two turn out above average

In terms of the talents we have now, we need to make sure we integrate them well and make sure they don't sit on the bench to warm the chairs. Allegri has a proven track record on developing youngsters like elsharawy, Niang, Cristante and Desciglio due to the lack of investment in players, these youngsters just did not have the right environment to develop in. they had too much pressure around them (ie. Milan's overreliance on balotelli and elsharawy..)
However here at juve we have experience like chiellini buffon pirlo etc... with world class talent like vidal and pogba which will help improve the likes of berardi and zaza. we can do a similar job to what bayern did with the likes of kroos, muller, manzukic and alaba when they integrated them in a team with proven players like lahm, sweinsteiger, gomez, robben and ribery.
