Filkor? On loan at Sassuolo in the Serie B. They are a decent team, and this is his second straight season on loan there. Slavkovski? His contract expired in June of last year. He plays for VfL Bochum now in the Bundesliga. For young prospects currently I have to say these guys are our best hopes: Davide Santon Rene Krhin Alen Stevanovic Giulio Donati Denis Alibec Sebastian Carlsén Lorenzo Crisetig Vid Belec Jonathan Biabiany Mattia Destro Obi Fossatti Santon is obviously miles ahead of everyone else. But I was thinking of youth. Krhin has shown he can play in the Serie A.. hopefully he can play some more. Stevanovic just made his debut in the league, and Donati made his debut in the cup. Alibec and Destro are highly regarded as some of the better strikers. Carlsen impressed last year for the Primavera and has signed on permanently. Belec seems like he will take over the third spot from Orlandoni next season. The reason I put Biabiany in there is because he has been really good for Parma, even though I completley wrote the kid off. Fossatti is someone who I have heard good thigs about, and Crisetig is a wonderkid as well. We will see.
One quick update: Daminuta will have a difficult time making it at Inter, after he made some crazy statements in the Romanian press... http://scoutingromania.wordpress.com/2010/01/22/todays-press-10/
Update on Daminuta: he'll come on loan to Dinamo until the summer and the Bucharest side will also have a buying option!
And another update: he's playing for Dinamo's reserves, in the second division! Obviously, he's not pleased about it, but he's like fifth choice now for the C/DF position... And when you think of what he said about Inter and his return to Italy. Stupid kid...
Watching the youngsters at Bayern (Badstuber/Mueller/Contento/Alaba) impress me makes me think its time to seriously give Krhin a shot. Along with that Stevanovic and Obi as well.
Coutinho has to be on this list. Just because he's not at Inter doesn't mean he's not a prospect. The kid is a phenom and plays well under pressure. He himself told the Inter officials he wants 1 more here to full prepare himself for Inter which in my eyes is an honorable thing to say. The kid is an Inter fan and did not think twice about signing with us. He's probably up there with Balotelli right now as Mourinho wants him to come to Italy next year.
'Anybody hear about Milan signing A. Filkor and C. Daminuta?? Are they really that desperate to inyect some youth that they need to sign our scrubs?
