That would mean 3rd or 4th choice (depending on how many strikers we intend to have in the squad), which would give him an opportunity to grow in Milan. If in January we feel he'd benefit elsewhere on loan, then so be it, but for now I see no reason not to give him a chance in the first team squad.
Also, Geo's view on Cutrone as opposed to other youth level forwards is spot on. This isn't a guy who's just suddenly burst onto the scene at Milan, he's been highly valued for a long time and has been touted for big things. I know I've been keeping tabs on him for 2 years myself, but he's actually been a part of the youth set up since he was 8 (in 2006).
Actually, he will probably start on Thursday as Bacca will be sold and Silva shouldn't be ready to play a full game yet ...
It should be his first official games in first team as a starter and we will see if he's still raw material or if we can keep him as useful asset, at least until the next mercato.
I noticed we tend to overrate our youth players when they are defenders, we tend to hype our midfielders, but we tend not to trust our young strikers (probably because we often had WC players bought for that role) ... why couldn't we build our own WC striker for once if the guy shows he can reach this level ?
One should not speak ill of the dead.
So stop laughing at Juventus !
