Plus comparing 18-19 year olds to 22-23 year olds is unfair.

Seriously? After all this Neymar vs Džeko fuckery?

So you're watching NK Interblock Ljubljana's matches? Any other good players there?

My favorite club.

Maribor actually. He was the only one that rocks!

Well, Bačinovič is good too at some level.

I've not watched Palermo recently what position does Ilicic play?

Any chance of him outshing Pastore and letting us sign Pastore cheaper?

Lately he plays as a support striker.

Btw, I checked his career and sometimes it's very hard to comprehend why don't scouts spot players earlier.
Until he was 20 Ilicic played in Slovenian 2nd league. In the last two years he played for a Slovenian team that finished in the lower part of the table in both seasons (last year they finished 2nd from the bottom). Only when he was 22 one of the bigger Slovenian teams spotted him and after playing 4-5 matches for them Palermo saw him and bought him.
Watching him in Palermo it's clear that the boy has it and it's almost impossible how in such a small country the best teams didn't get him until he was 22.
Usually in small countries like Slovenia the good players are noticed in their teens.

Where has Pastore been playing then?

 

[JuveJay]

In what sense?

4 years of playing football and judging talent.

Where has Pastore been playing then?

4-3-1-2

It changes though, sometimes it's 4-3-2-1, sometimes 4-3-1-2. Lately I think that Ilicic is playing much closer to the goal than Pastore.

Could explain why Pastore is not making the headlines as much lately then considering he's not scoring so much.

No, but seriously. It's not like Croatia and Serbia are much bigger than Slovenia, but we're used to hearing the names of young CRO or SER players year after year. In countries like Slovenia or Macedonia that's not the case and when a talent emerges there he's being "advertised" strongly and either the big teams in those countries get him or he leaves the country in his teens. Even in stronger leagues than the Slovenian, you can hardly find 22 year old talents. They already moved in the big 7-8 european leagues.

Maybe more should stay in their domestic league and learn their trade first, then make the move.

True.. But with Del Neri's 4-4-2, im sure he wont be playing here! Unless we dont sign Aquilani...

We can sign Aquilani and still play Hamsik and Del Neri's 4-4-2 is not really a 4-4-2.

Buffon goes to Bayern and they agree to stay clear of Dzeko?
