Balotelli/Giovinco/youngster thread [R]

Any one heard about these players Marco Verratti and Lorenzo Insigne?

 

Napoli fans should know more
he scored 19 last year in serie B, scored 2 for U-21 against lichstein


he's only 5'4'' though...i believe with cassano, rossi, giovinco, the azzuri maxed out on the shorties for the forward line. LOL

 

He is a beast and those goals weren't in Serie B Foggia was in C 2 or something.

 

Yea those were serie c goals. But Lorenzo really has a bright future ahead of him. The way the sport is going with possession play I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of smaller players get in the spot light. Marco Verratti is another small guy but shit is he talented. He's really technical and great at set pieces. Napoli were actually linked to him a year or two ago.

Total domination by Super Mario today.

 

The guy never seems happy is he just trying to be humble or just showing "ya i know im that good and dont need to celebrate like an idiot"?

 

Insigne

he will be one of the greats!

 

Insigne looks good in Serie B - Will this happen in Serie A?

Also what's happened with Simone Verdi. He gets no playing time at Torino!??!!

Sorry..I forgot Santon and Crescenzi.

 

Re name this thread to "Italy youth"

 

LB for Bayern Munich. Last year he was a back up. Year before that he was a starter. Has plenty of champions league experience and started the final and played a full 120 minutes against Chelsea. Diego Contento. Played for German under teams but said he wants to play for Italy. 22 years old. I'd put him ahead of any of the young defenders.

 

I was just going to post about him. We should call up Diego ASAP.

 

I totally agree before he changes his mind.

 

He's not going to change his mind. He would die for Napoli. It's in his blood. The best thing would be to have Napoli buy him and then he would transition to Gli Azzurri very easily. I agree he's a great talent.

 

Yeah he impressed the hell out of me in that Chelsea game considering he didnt play much last year

 

What is the cut-off for this thread? To my mind Cigarini is not a "young" talent anymore! We should start excluding players past 23-24.
