He played 31 games last year on a team that qualified for the Champions League, including 26 starts. How is he too young?
His issue is going to be stamina, because he exerts a lot of energy and sometimes got winded near the end of matches. That will come with maturity and learning how to conserve energy.
I'm a big fan of his. I watched a lot of Sampdoria games last year because I'm a Cassano fanboy.

Thats my issue with this fucking team. We have no youth department what so ever. What happened to raising players through the ranks? Now we loan out players to 20 diff clubs before they come back. Thats like the equivalent of a homeless child going through 20 diff foster houses, do u seriously think he will grow up normal? Also we don't buy enough young talent, Manchester United just bought some dude who was just homeless named Bebe knowing sir Alex he won't be a flop. Actually all of the Italian teams have crappy youth departments. Look at Arsene Wenger or Barcelona their youth squads can probably play our senior squad for fucks sake (sarcasm) . But in all seriousness when will we invest in our youth? If you look at out prospective talent and compare then to other teams we look like shite . When we start to focus on youth is when we will have success again. :flag1:
Del Piero, from what I can remember.
But its time to give the kids a chance, once and for all.
This has been the thorn in my side for this club for the past 5 years, regardless of whom was at the helm.
I would rather suffer for a couple of seasons if they dedicated themselves to a youth project if it meant that it would bring 7 years of great success.
Nobody has the patientce for that, however, and its pretty distressing

It wouldn't even be that drastic. If we had been blending youth with our current Old Guard for the last 5 years they would have grown drastically along side our champs. But that was never the case, we decided to spend and that ended up getting us players like Grygera, Poulsen, and Tiago that we can't even sell now(except for Poulsen which was a struggle).
The costs of using youth would have been less than what we paid in transfers and salaries for these useless players.
You are right, no one at the club, fans in italy and surely no one aside from maybe 4 people here would have the patience for that. I get hounded every time I bring it up. You can't tell me a 12m Martinez will be more useful than Giovinco on the left OR right. But all well, what's done is done. We don't have Marrone or Ekdal here but we will buy a 20 year old at a cost more than those two put together. Whatever.
