Youth system: 4 new Primavera players in 2 years

This is official information... from acmilan.it ... interview with Paolo Taveggia

Filippo Galli will take charge of the Primavera squad, and Baresi down to the younger groups (Berretti, and others)

The objective is clearly defined... in two years, Milan should have 4 new Primavera grown players among the 25 available for European competition (let's think UCL)

My top picks for those positions:
1.- Lino Marzoratti (Defender)
2.- Sandro Bloudek (Midfielder)
3.- Willy Aubameyang (Midfielder)
4.- Matteo Ardemagni (Striker)

Obiettivo giovani

"Il Milan è uno dei club più importanti al mondo, ha quindi il diritto di avere un settore giovanile ad alto livello". Paolo Taveggia ha ben chiaro l'incarico di coordinatore del settore giovanile ricevuto due mesi fa dalla società di via Turati. Il progetto sta prendendo forma, le linee si stanno tracciando, tutto con la massima armonia e collaborazione tra le parti, come spiega lo stesso dirigente: "Un risultato in questo ambito nasce da un lavoro di comunione e di accordo tra tutti i responsabili coinvolti. Non possono esserci tanti piccoli regni che si chiamano Primavera, Berretti, Allievi, Giovanissimi o Pulcini. Se non c'è un'interconnessione o un lavoro d'équipe tra queste realtà, non creeremo mai nè giocatori, nè ragazzi che sanno cos'è la vita, lo sport e tutto quanto ci sta dietro". Poi un'importante precisazione su Franco Baresi: "E' una grande persona e un tecnico di qualità a cui sono molto affezionato. Con Filippo Galli si è seduto di fronte a me per decidere insieme il futuro. La soluzione per cui abbiamo optato vedrà Franco alla guida della formazione Berretti, mentre Filippo continuerà con la Primavera".

I hope it will include little Weah...

that's another option... Kaka's brother is also there, he's a really tall defender...

Kaka's brother, Digao, sucks.. dont consider him a hot prospect

SANT: I think Piazza will come to the lineup after Lino, maybe u forgot about him.

I also think that Pozzi and Boriello should be sold and maybe we should buy a few players for our youth team (just like what Chelsea does, they already have bought around 5 really promising players for around 4-7m pounds).

Does anyone know if we have a Davide Astori in our Primavera midfield? or maybe the team younger?

Astori is in our Primavera defence , from acmilan.com

That would be nice to hear.

Marzoratti certainly is everyone's pick. Bloudek has been here for a while, and seems to have good promises, and I would like to see him too. Aubameyang? Is he the same one who played in the 25 in 2002-2003 when we won the CL? As for Ardemagni, he doesn't impress me. I would rather give Pozzi a chance. I heard that the other two attackers are actually pretty good, (I can't spell their names: Di Gennaro? Sammaco?) and Piazza is good too. Wenger likes him, right?

I always like Pozzi and Abate, even I have watched only a few games of theirs. They should be good bets.

My pics are:
- Bloudek;
- Piazza (defender);
- Aubameyang;
- De Gennaro (midfilder).
And I think this Aubameyang is brother of the old Aubameyang, Catalina Aubameyang if I am not mistaken, whom plays in Belgium now.

Everyone in the primavera is kewl, and i know that our primavera would beat nk dinamo zagreb.

Not pretty sure they developed in our youth system. Do not know what UEFA will consider a "youth system product".
Do they need to stay a certain time playing for our Primavera squad? Or Barreti?

I am not sure either. Very likely we bought them from other clubs' youth teams, but I surely we will hold on to them and at least give them some chances.

pozzi wouldn't count.

they have to come through the teams youth system, youth being under 16, we signed pozzi when he was 17. Foggia might though, he certainly played in our youth team, it dosn't matter that he was loaned out.

I would like to see Foggia and Aubameyang coming into the squad, but I am not sold on Ardemagni...what is his goal per game rate at the Primavera level?

Warro,

you'll be surprised to know that Primavera squad played a total of 39 games this season... Ardemagni scored 27 goals... in second place, far behind, Bloudek with 8 goals..

Thanks SANT! Lets see if he can hack it with the big boys then!

Has Foggia been confirmed to be back at Milan this upcoming season?
