Primavera up 1-0 v Chelsea. Up 2-0 now http://www.forzaroma.info/notizie-r...ue-chelsea-roma-le-formazioni-ufficiali-live/
Alessio Riccardi scored a nice one for Azzurrini in the U-17 Euro final. That age group is a really tough watch. They've got the senior level gamesmanship down, but they don't have much quality.
Monchi added a couple more kids for the Primavera today: Claudio Cassano : https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/un-altro-cassano-a-roma-ce-la-firma-del-giovane-claudio Vittorio Alberto Agostinelli: https://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/roma-completes-deal-for-agostinelli
Guy I know who scouts dutch prospects has Roma Primavera Vincente Besuijen in the top 10 Dutch prospects for the class of 2001: 1) Daishwan Redan ST – 87C – Chelsea/HOL 2) Myron Boadu ST – 84B – AZ/HOL 3) Joshua Zirkzee ST – 85C – Bayern München/HOL 4) Manuel Pherai AM – 83C – Dortmund/HOL 5) Cheick Touré LW – 82C – Feyenoord/HOL 6) Wouter Burger CM – 82C – Feyenoord/HOL 7) Liam van Gelderen CB – 80C – Ajax/HOL 8) Splinter de Mooij AM – 80C – Feyenoord/HOL 9) Vicente Besuijen AM – 75C – Roma/HOL 10) Kenzo Goudmijn AM/W – 73C - AZ/HOL Didn't even know Monchi signed him last year. He's the kid on the bottom right. Sidenote: the dude behind him has a mean stache for a teenager.

One of those random youth kids Monchi bought last year is absolutely tearing it up in the Primavera. Slovenian striker Zan Celar. 18 goals in 11 matches. Scored today against Juve.
Just watched a highlight video of him, he looks like a man playing against boys. Honestly looks like he's got more muscle than Schick
Sadiq had 27 goals in 32 games in 14/15. In 15/16 he had 19 goals in 19 games (he played some with the Sr. team that year). It's really difficult to look at stats for some of these kids in primavera if they are more physically dominant than the other kids. IMO, they'd be better served playing in Serie C against men than dominating kids
Who knows what we become of these kids. It's wise not to place huge expectations on them , but I don't think there's any harm in acknowledging unusual production either. Celar is killin' it. I also hope Riccardi can break through to the 1st team someday.
