It's not true that we would put him in the U23, that was just one of his silly soundbites, but it's true that he would have started behind Higuain.

Pjaca was only a failure because he got injured. He was excellent before that.
Dybala and Pogba turned out to be jewels. Morata's career could've ended up different if he stayed instead of going back to RM etc. Point is we've had plenty of young promising players here, especially when you consider they played for veteran teams, perennial winners, not talent developers like Napoli etc.
I don't know why a player has to be outside of top 4 leagues or outside of Serie A. Dybala was just as much of a risk as Lautaro was for example, he turned out great. Juventus needs to win year by year and our fans are the first to have zero patience for the young players they so dearly desire. If Leao and Lautaro were playing here the way they were first couple seasons for Inter and Milan no chance they succeed because they were not very good and pressure would've killed them, from fans first and foremost.

A player doesn’t have to be from outside the top 4 leagues… but for a team like us who can’t compete financially signing known talents we need to be fishing in that pond a whole lot more.
Signing from outside of the mainstream leagues also implies we have a scouting network, which we clearly don’t… That is my point.
