Definitely, long term processes sais itself that it takes time but having a decent youthsystem is nothing new. Looking for talents to the youthsystem is a good thing as long as we can take care of them when they are turning 19-20 (which we never have).

Yeah the Swede looks promising, it was through the old management as you say. Although since he's from our youth team I expect him to be shipped away as soon as he's ready for it. As for the rest I suspect the same scenario. I would love it if we could give these guys some chances, some perhaps not straight away but others 15 minute here and there after christmas. I don't see any problems with our youth system who has over the past 20 years made tons of Serie-A players. Every team in the league has at least one or two Juve-Scholars. In this case you're right, although we still don't know what to do with them when they grow up with the exception of Marchisio.
Ideally, the younger players not getting straight into the team should be sent out on loan like Giovinco has, so they get first team football for a season when they're closer to 20 (not 24 years old like Seba). Sørensen is probably going to be the first test.

But while we're doing this well in this department we're spending endless of money on overpriced players and this can't only be blamed on Secco/Marotta. Why did we not find Subotic, Cissokho, JoJo, Cavani, Thiago Silva, Kjaer and so on? None of these are from their operatives youthsystem but scouted young players bought at decent price (I don't mean what Lyon payed to FCP...).

Perhaps this discussion should be taken in another thread. I am however not saying that you're wrong.
Secco's time here was obviously a disaster, hard to debate that, I remember our chief scout hailing Hazard back then. Like I said, we'll have to wait to see if there are any names Marotta can be put along with those, at the moment Juventus has to purchase players that are established first XI players.

Am I the only one that doesn't want Damiao? We don't need a player like him right now.

Lets get Gotze, Shaqiri or Jojo!

Aogo, Hummels and Montolivo sounds like a great winter transfer.

If we're only left with Matri and Vuci next year, we definitely need Damiao. That's what a jump in quality is supposed to look like.
Jojo/Shaqiri/Gotze, Matri, Vucinic, Quagliarella. 4 attackers, we'd also have Pepe and Elia that can sub on the wings. I really don't think we need him.

That's if we keep Quag. And if we go with one of Jojo/Shaqiri/Gotze and actually keep Quag, Matri won't have a backup because they're all SS type of players.
