A really interesting interview with Bianchessi (head scout in youth):

http://www.milannews.it/news/bianchessi-...ani-212750

unfortunately, I don't have time to summarise what it says, but it's one of the more positive areas of the club.

WhenBianchessi says that the project is backed by Galliani, All I am thinking is that the Ital-Milan project is a go and maybe Berlusconi won't sell.

[am I Milan enough?]

For last few yrs we seemed to have captured some talented young kids, but few has made it to senior level. We sure have problem developing and nurturing those talents. Yet mgt is trying to go Ital-Milan. Sigh

The guys who work in the club can't do anything else than that : they don't know what is going to happen, so for moment, they all speak like if B & G will still be there next season and then. What do you want a guy like him to say ? "We have a project backed by Galliani, but if the Chinese come, I don't know how the future will be" ?

Their chiefs right now are still B & G.

[ACMILAN1983]

Yeah, pretty much as Geo said imo. I wouldn't take Bianchessi's comments to mean anything regarding the ItalMilan project.

I think if the Chinese come, they would be smart to invest in the youth system with a long term strategy in mind. It's often difficult to find the right balance between spending big on stars and integrating youth, but I it's invaluable in building a long term project aiming to win consistently.

What made me think like that is when he says that this is a new project called Milan Gold, backed by Galliani. I am like wait a minute, this project and then Berlusconi's continuous affirmations about Italian Milan and 'if he stays'.... I just don't trust those guys.

lol, you might be right given Silvio's latest comments

[ACMILAN1983]

An interesting article on some of the youth that look most ready for the senior set up:

I agree with pretty much all of it, although that doesn't mean I suddenly want all of them in the senior squad.

Played very little on loan when out last year, hope it goes better this time.
