Scamacca is 6'4" but he's not a Luca Toni or Graziano Pellè as you might expect from an Italian CF, he got called the new Zlatan because he does have good skill, speed and technique for his size. But yeah, he's strong in the air.
Much like Pinamonti, the jury is definitely out but that possible 3rd CF spot calls for a role player who will put everything into their performances and not complain. You want the Divock Origi (as shit as I think he is) equivalent.

They were having financial problem and was focusing on bringing Neymar back. We got that opportunity and land De Ligt. Hopefully we could keep him here longer than Raiola expected, just like what Milan is doing with Donnarumma 
Edit: Also, I didn't say we shouldn't deal with him, more like we should keep it at a controlled level.

No its not, please explain to me how it is? I dont know the brasilian kaio jorge, but the two italian youngsters havent done anything in senior level to be excited about whatsoever. Auba is a legit top top striker, Jimenez is an emerging top quality striker, and would be nice rotation player. Milik is underwhelming due to all the injuries, but is legit proven at being a excellent backup striker for years now in Serie A, scoring regular good amount of goals off the bench (and he is just 5 years older then the two italian young strikers).
Scamacca looked HYPE in the youth level, as other posters have said, the "Zlatan" was not just height, his very technical style while being a giant made the comparisons make sense. He was the striker I was most excited about it in the youth level.
He started in Serie B at like 18 after some adventures in the NL. Too many moves too soon imo. Probably better for a kid to stay home and play his youth in Roma. Then he got injured and lost a season iirc.
Now he had his full season in Serie B with 12 goals in league and coppa for Ascoli, relegation contender, and just turned 21. Good season, now is his time to consolidate and see if he can become the player people hoped (doubtful) or at least a proper Serie A striker. While his profile is ideal (tall and very technical), Juve is not the place for him and we would find little use. He needs to play and find his football. Sassuolo (they own him) is probably the right place.
Pinamonti is much more ready. Remember that Genoa is terrible and in turmoil. He has like 6 goals this season, and 5 last season with Frosinone. That's 2 full Serie A for a CF born in 99, it's not normal. Of course he isn't scoring at the needed rate for a top striker but as 19 and 20yo he already he showed he can actually play well at the Serie A level. He has the right movements and the right instincts. He is strong, fast, and plays like a proper CF. This is a player I would take as a sub to groom, that can already be useful and shows good projection. It's not an accident that he already goes for like 15 or 20m.
In the youth levels this is the CF class of Cutrone, Pinamonti, Scamacca, Kean. Usually 2 or 3 of them play together. Scamacca-Pinamonti was the pair for the U20 World Cup last year, and they got 3rd place.

He is a bit of a prospect, but if Juve are going to get a 21 year old striker from Saussolo, it makes sense it would be someone playing and performing well enough there for Saussolo or teams at that level. Not someone stuck in Serie B loans. Are we supposed to give him playing time when not even Sassuolo are? Or he is just gonna be another random youngster to buy and move around for the books?
