    Let's Start with Under 24. Try to mention name and team as well a brief description if possible. I will lead offwith some:

    Forwards

    Alberto Gilardino age 23(AC Milan): The Present and future Striker of Gli Azzurri. Eye for goal and ever opportunistic, hopefully a future carreer similar to one dutchman playing for Milan in the late 80's(Van Basten, one can hope).


    Giampaolo Pazzini age 21(Fiorentina): This kid has impressed me much this year and looks to have a very bright future. His goals are very much highlight reel goals in that he has incredible striking ability. Height, speed and agression he has it all.

    Giusseppe Rossi age 18(Man United)Born in U.S but playing for Italy: Have not seen much of this kid but remember the brits stealing him away from the Serie A and Alex Ferguson (the coach)has much praise for him, so much so that he compared him to a young Scholes with better finish around the goal(Scholes is also a favorite of Fergie). Skillful striker with the finish and stature reminiscent of Toto Schillacci.

    Those are 3 Strikers to start I'd love to hear some more. I know there is a midfielder on loan from Juve (Chiementi I believe), he is born in Switzerland but I believe may play with the Azzurri anyone know more of this.
