The Azzurrini (U21-20-19...) Thread (15 Viewers)

so y buffon is always burbling about "rest rest rest rest and rest"?

i dont think he would want to play at the coppa, or before a cl game, he stated down there before livorno match that its hard to play 3-in-a-week for him.


who is it?
and when did u see curci playing?
he playen only against manchester in the groups no?

Exactly, when do you see him play. My point was being a young back up goalie to Buffon, Doni, or any other world class keeper gives you much less playing time.

Consigli is Rimini's goalie, the usual u-21 goalie. He is a great keeper IMO.

Empoli.
He was a reserve to a keeper with a similar surname but later he got more playing time.

Balli is the 34 year old keeper of Empoli.

If we get Bassi for a relatively low amount i believe it would be a great signing

 

[S.Giovinco]

its not like novembre is going to die..he is 20.

how is he btw?

van stratten sux!
against shanghai i think he was like...SUX

 

[Marceℓℓo]

Players to watch from the U21:

De Silvestri
Absolutely a quality player at his young age,good physique and can play on both wings.He should be our number one choice for the left back spot and we should do all we can to ge him,throw Almiron,Mirante,Marchionni or whoever in the deal.
Bocchetti
He is owned by Ascoli I think and he might won't be that expensive.Looked calm and pretty solid throughout the whole tournament.
Galloppa
Even if we don't neccessarily need back-ups for the midfield he could be a relatively cheap option as he is owned by our feeder club Siena.Seems to me like a deep-lying playmaker.

Did anyone hear the eurosport commentator after saying that he thought Nocerino was player of the tornamnet "thats why Juve are so keen to keep him" LMAO does this guy know anyting about football?!

by the way Pelle is the worst player ive ever seen in an Italy jersey!

And Forza Giovinco!!

 

[Cuti]

I'm pretty sure Corradi was worse

[Osman]

4 players will be cut.

Amazing Montolivo is there, bizzare Santacroce, Canini and Bassi isnt. Lanzafame too in a way.

 

[Marceℓℓo]

No Graziano Pelle?Thank you,Casiraghi!Great players overall,they definitely have a chance to win the olympics.

Viviano
De Silvestri Coda Criscito De Ceglie
Marchisio Cigarini Montolivo
Giovinco
Rossi Acquafresca

Probably Nocerino instead of Marchisio.Great team!

 

[Alen]

Great players overall,they definitely have a chance to win the olympics.

Argentina has Messi, Mascherano, Riquelme, Garay, Aguero, Gago and Lavezzi in their olympic team, among others.
Brasil will have Robinho, Anderson, Diego, Lucas Leiva and Pato.

You really think that this Italian team has a chance to win the olympics ?

Oh I didn't know thatStill,I think Brazil,Argentina and Italy have the same chances to win.I think the Azzurrini are underrated.

Did that sound biased?

A little
I'd really like Giovinco to be the MVP of the tournament, with Marchisio and De Ceglie making it to the team of the Olympics, but man...just look at the team Argentina has

Thanks.

You just pretty much dampered my euphoria:frown:Brazil's squad doesn't look too shabby either.

 

[Osman]

Where is Kaka Alen? He was sure to be chosen.

Galliani said there isn't a single chance Milan to let Kaka or any other +23 yo old player go at the Olympics.
Bonera was also supposed to play for Italy but Milan didn't want to let him go.

They'd have probably kept Pato as well but they're forced to let the u23 players go in China.

Plus, Kaka is still recovering from the operation and he won't be able to start with trainings until July 20th or so.

Zabaleta plays midfield


But what about this line of attack for Argentina:

Messi(buonanotte)---------Lavezzi

---------------Aguerro

and Riquelme possibly behind'em
