I agree 100% of what you said! but then just look at Cristante. Do you think the structure of Milan will allow Coman to play against Lazio? Or someone like. Pogba to even have a game or two to see how effectively useless he could be?
Bale didn't become the 100million transfer bc of one great season, he went through a lot of okay season before that great season. Same thing goes to Ibra, Di Maria, Ozil,Neuer, Messi, Lahm, Kaka, Silva, Hummels, Costa and even CR7. Yes, some of them might be praised as the next big thing when we first noticed them but when you look at their first few real competitive games and games during their peak seasons. You will notice that their games at their peak seasons are more polished and pretty much mistake free. All players have learning curve, playing regularly gaining exp, injuries and off the pitch work ethics are the differences between someone who didn't live up to his earlier promises or someone who fulfilled their potentials. Playing regularly is something that Milan and most IT teams in general won't do. Now if you are a young player like Pogba, would you go to a top team which plays youngsters like himself or a top team which does not.
That's why Milan at this point will never have any interesting youngsters emerging unless there are a huge injury crisis.
Sad thing is, Milan could have gone the youth movement this summer by holding on to guys like Polashi and Cristante, while signing Merkel back(sure he would come back cheaper), and even getting someone like Darmain. Now when you add those four with SES, DES, Niang and Menez; and actually let them play regularly with De Jong, Honda, Abate, Monty and others, it will send signals to all promising young players that a big club like Milan will play you as long as you work hard. Milan might not get into CL, but at least it will begin to attract good young players.
