Looking up and down the JUVE lineup, there are some fantastic young players on the roster and I can't help but wonder what fellow JUVE fans think of them, who are you favourites? I'll be honest that quite a few of them are very much unknowns but i'll list a few of the more popular ones for a poll! Antonio Mirante (GK) Giorgio Chiellini (DF) Paolo De Ceglie (MD) Claudio Marchisio (MD) Matteo Paro (MD) Raffaele Palladino (FW) Valeri Bojinov (FW) Remember it's your personal favourite, not necessarily the most talented!
I'm going to go by most talented since I don't like Juve. I really think all of their youngsters will be future stars, but I think Palladino shines a lot. Marchisio and De Ceglie also look very good.
Palladino looks very promising. I also like Paro. Deschamps is even quoted comparing him to Pirlo and as the Azzurri's "future Pirlo". Not a bad player to be compared to if you ask me.
Bojinov. If he can develop some consistency and play like he did with Lecce, he will be an asset. Palladino isn't too bad but he needs more improvement. He is young but against Lecce, he should have put a few sitters away. There's also something to like about Chiellini. He makes some good runs on the wings. Donadoni needs to pay attention to him.
I really think Palladino and Bojinov could be really be something special if we take the time to devolp them as they are still young and will make mistakes, they just need time to mature. As for Chiellini you are looking at Zambrotta's replacement on the left flank for both Juve and the Azzurri.
Giorgio has got great potential, but Gianluca Zambrotta is absolutley irreplaceable! Chiellini I just can't see being as good! Zambrotta's attacking and defensive presence is amazing, his stamina and pace make him the prototype wing-back but perhaps what sets him apart from most players is his incredible consistency! Zambrotta plays at such an incredibly high level but does so regularly its just amazing! If Chiellini even gets near that level JUVE should be in excellent stead!
Paro is definitely head and shoulders my favorite as I've had my eye on him for a few years now since his first few loan spells. He realy has taken his opportunity and ran with it, I truley hopes he gets his Azzurri call up as it is well deserved, with the right players around him Matteo can be stellar not only for Juve but the national team. Another pleasant suprise is Marchisio, younger and looks extremely promising. He will most likely be loaned out next season to keep playing on a regular basis and hopefully will keep improving and progressing. And one of my favorites who currently not a bianconero is Davide Chiumiento, dont know what his situation is going to be, but i've always liked him and think he is extremely talented. Has some realy nice speed and ball skills, I hope he is in Didi's plans for the future. I didnt speak of Chiellini because I feel he is one of the veterans in this group despite his young age, but nontheless he is also a great talent, possibly the most talented out of all of them.
I see Bojinov as the most talented player ... however, Didier doesn't seem to have much faith in him anymore for some reason. There are rumours here in Germany that Bayern is going to sign him for next season...
Interestingly of JUVE's youth brigade, Claudio Marchisio, Paolo De Ceglie, Raffaele Palladino and Domenico Criscito (DF on loan at Genoa IIRC, hence not listed on poll) are some of the names alledgedly targetted by Palermo to be used in a player plus cash deal for World Cup winner Andrea Barzagli!
Paro seems to be getting attention from Italian fans in general. I've seen him compared to Pirlo. We can only hope!
Its hard to choose just 1. Alot will depend on how the squad unfolds, in turn making playing time more available for some than others. For example, Mirante is a very good goalie, but with someone like Buffon as #1, he isn't likely to be a star for a while. Bojinov is another example. With ADP and Trezeguet ahead, he will be at the very least a 3rd string forward. However DD should definetly choose Bojinov over Zalayeta when ADP and Trezegol are injured. Regardless, the group of Mirante, Criscito, Chiellini, De Ceglie, Marchisio, Paro, Palladino is the hottest young Italian talent in Italy, which is shown in the fact top clubs from across the world are after them.
JUVE are in excellent stead Giorgio Chiellini is on par or better than every defender in Serie A and, even further, the world! This guy is amazing! Passion, heart, pace, power, skill, he's got everything. Hard tackling, dominant in the air, a leader....
apart from the usual suspects (giovinco, de ceglie, marchisio) fausto rossi is a player i'm really excited about. fast, technical, fantastic feet. in an era where good wingers are scarce in italy, this youngster has tonns of upside and i look forward to him being a regular once he matures as a professional.
Agreed. Glad we tied him up recently. Him, Giovinco, Iago, Ekdal. We got alot of exciting young technical players.
Iago I know nothing about. Ekdal seems like a very good DM. Rossi was played like a winger in the friendlies but I'm pretty sure he's a striker. But I do agree that they are all exciting.
with the primavera rossi actually plays on the wing and occasionally in the middle of the park. are you confusing him with esposito?
