Milan opens football schools in europe

The first will be according to some rumours in Scotland, Glasgow actually.
It will be called Paisley School and will train youngsters from 5 to 18 (meazza it was your chance of a lifetime )

Then the next schools will be opened in Barcelona and Paris with the clear purpose to find new european talents and let them grow under Milan tutelage

Anything like this will be one of the best moves any club can make.

Can't really hurt and maybe some young talent will come through. However, I won't hold my breath on that.

Milan has some schools too in African countries, but did you know that Clarence Seedorf has his own school and STADE !!! in Suriname ?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Milan create schools in America (which I think has already been done) and Asia, where it was recently noted Milan are the most popular team.

gr8 move by Milan...hopefully they will open 1 in Asia....as there are a few decent players in Asia as well... and make a stronghold out of it...like what Real and Man U has done...its time for the 3rd most popular club in the world to "spread its teaching"

yeah, that certainly makes more sense than opening one in Glasgow everyone there is blue or green already so there isnt much room for anyone else.. Just having a presence in a country can work wonders for the fanbase, not just for Milan but for Serie A as well.

the point there is that a youngster , IMO, would love to be part of these schools regardless of their football preferences

I put it in other words: let's assume, steza, you are a fairly talented player at non pro level..if they offer you to train and fit into Real Madrid youngster teams or Bayern or another important club, would you refuse just because you like Man UTD and Milan?
i don't think so.

therefore a school in UK is a good move imo, you still have a lot of talents there, and a school in glasgow would just be inviting for everyone who wants to shine in football across the british isles

Who was the last player Scotland produced that was Milan quality?

Darren Fletcher

maybe in a few years anyway....

Big Dunc is a truely world class header of the ball so he could have been like Bierhoff, but with added psychopathic tendancies

My point was; put the money and the effort where there is talant to be found. Scottland does not top my list.

Wouldn't that be Kenny Dalglish?

Seriously, though.

Yup. I'll second that. Most Liverpool fans will probably vote him as the best ever player in their history.

The very same Kenny Daglish who ENDED his career in the mid-80's? Kind of proves the point, doesn't it?
