Our youth academy has produced some excellent talents in recent years. If you look at the “Esposito” generation, we have Esposito himself, who is currently doing very well at Empoli. Filip Stankovic is developing nicely at Venezia, Fabbian is going through a bit of a rough patch at Bologna (which is, of course, normal for his age) but performed well last season, and Agoumé is thriving at Sevilla (he’s even being linked to Arsenal at the moment). Then there’s Zanotti, who’s doing well in Switzerland, and Oristanio, who is developing steadily and becoming increasingly important at Venezia.
Of course, there’s also Casadei at Chelsea , Gnonto at Leeds and Kinkoué, who’s being linked to West Ham. It’s a shame that it seems none of these players ever truly got a chance with us in the end.
Valentin Carboni, Alexander Stankovic, and Pio Esposito are still our players, of course.
