They are showing some good stuff in pre-season,and most importantly: We need them.

We need a good LB as we all doubt a new LB will be coming,so Albertazzi has to step in.We need a good replacement for Rhino/Flamini,a young guy who replace them when they are injured/tired and who isnt scared to make a impact make fouls,and Strasser is that guy.

So i am counting on them for 2 reasons: 1.They are the Primavera players who are really up to the taks 2.They have acctually no choice as Leonardo needs them to add some depth and young blood to the team,we wont buy anyone maybe so we have to get that depth and quality from our own youth,wich is a good thing.

At least they are kind of ready to make minutes when needed.

Yes, Albertazzi will need to step up for the LB position, which will most likely be up for grabs due to failiure of a new signing there, and the inconsistency of Janko....

Gaeta could be in the Primavera next season since he had having great season with Allievi last season. At the beginning of last season it seemed that Palibrk was not the first team player for Allievi but in tha later stage he showed what he could do by making many goals. Remembering there are many forwards that could play for the Primavera, Palibrk could be put in to the Beretti.

I think only one or max. two of the players you said would be put in the first team player. Zigoni has the best chance comapare to others especially if we don't get any striker in this summer. I think, Beretta will play for Primavera since he is still very young (17 years old CMIIW). Ikande and Oduamadi could be called up to the first team in some occasions since they are pretty unique players compare to Beretta and Zigoni. They can play as forwards or midfielders and we lack of offensive players in the midfield department.

I personally will be happy if one of them play for the first team next season (not only listed as first team player but never get real chance like Darmian last season).

Many thanks!
I've forgotten Beretta's age, he's so young as Uros and Gaeta.
And Primavera will start training on 26th July, then we'll see...

Don't forget Ikande and Oudumadi. These two players joined the Primavera in the second part of the season but contributed pretty much to the team since theeir arrival (that's what I read from other forum). What makes me underline these two players since they are offensive players who can play in midfield positions or as forwards (left or right one), something that we lack of right now.

All of our midfielders are defensive players except Seedorf. But we know we can't really rely on him. Ikande and Oudumadi could be not listed as first team player next season but they could be called up in certain situations.

No problemo mate.

I would like to see more from Baretta in the next friendlies. He played only some minutes in the friendlies but he tried his best.

what does anyone know about odu? he looked good when he was brought on

I think Leo is doing something that Carlo hardly ever did! Expect to see two or three of these youngsters feautured play from our bench this season. Hopefully, just hopefully, one will be able to break into the first-team. That would be a dream. I want to see Abate succed, bcs he is fast and would suit Leo's attacking style!

As for him, I don't know..... I'll try to find something mate!

PIRLO fAN, his name is Nmandi Oduamadi

here is a picture:

Youth star of Nigerian U18 squad.....

Also, see this vid mate:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9z...lan-july_sport

Just watched a vid of the player. he is great, and is like a faster Seedorf....!

Nmandi Oduamadi: Is he a winger or midfielder? He certainly has the speed and tricks in the bag and is not afraid! Doesn't turn the ball over and is quite large as well!

I am not trying to get too exicted, but by the way the guy played, he should automatically get a bench spot. The man seemed to be one of the only midfielders who carried and ran with the ball extensively! Great stuff, really impressed!

For me mate, the player looks a bit out of place on the wing. He didn't attempt any crosses and looks more direct like Kaka..... Don't know about his shooting though?! Maybe his lack of crosses was a confidence thing?

lol, you're not trying to get excited but you've written 5 posts in a row about him in the space of around 20 minutes.

You should view the video of him and then share my optimism.....

FYI there is EDIT botton you can use if you want to add something in your post to prevent posting so many posts in a row.

It's better if you watched Odu live (not from clips). From last game, I am still not satisfied with his performance even he is still young. I like Ikande a bit more than Odu.

Of course I know of the button but thanks for your concern!

As for the clips, it was the best I could do. Even from the video, I could see he was something special! This wasn't a Youtube "glorifying" clip, if you know what I mean!
