Riccardo Meggiorini

Any other examples?

Any other examples?

Amauri, and sure there are a lot more. But I don't need to give more examples, because it's useless to compare them.

Meggiorini must do it all by himself and it doesn't help if Toni went trough the same. It's just that Meggio has still every chance to make it and he is doing more than well this year. That this is his best year (even his first in the Serie B) only means that he has made progress, even being aged 23.....and he is still learning, I'm sure.

Any other examples?

Diego Milito played in Serie B when he was 25.

Tommaso Rocchi played in Serie C for a very long time, after that he was in Serie B with Empoli when he was 24 years old.

Di Natale's journey to Serie A was similar to Rocchi's

Luca Toni and Amauri is already mentioned.

The list is long, do you want me to continue?

Just kidding, lets go with the "if you're not under 20 and famous in FM you're shit"- methods, probably better.

 

[Ilkinio]

Thanks for the examples. I would like to have all starting 11 formed by academy players. But, i'm firmly sure that it is not the case in current situation.

Sergio Floccari might become a player like those mentioned. Stuck in Serie B for a long time without really impressing. Have played in Serie A for a couple of seasons now and just started looking like a class forward this season. Now he's being followed by Roma and Juventus and he'll most likely join one of them next season.

I've never seen Meggiorini, maybe he's very average, but saying that he'll never become anything just because he's playing in Serie B at the age of 23 is just dumb.

 

[Ilkinio]

tonyloo, it's nice to have such informed poster around. Please, post more often.

All these examples are just the thing that happens pretty rare. Most football players blossom between age 17-24.

 

[Pico32]

you can add Di Vaio to that list.

In Italy players often mature at a relatively high age. Many a story have been like this.

Meggiorini might prove enough, or not, but keeping 50% of him is in no way a bad thing. Although I'd like him to get into Serie A soon if anything will come of him.

 

[tritolone]

this is the case mostly with italian players, because in serie a teams don't field their youngster very often, but they loan them to smaller clubs in lower leagues. in england or spain, not to mention netherlands, players play for first teams as young as 18 or some even less, and are fully developed players at 22.

it italy takes them much longer to make a big hit.

of course there are exceptions, the latest of them cassano and gilardino, but they arent exactly world-class

i saw the video when he scored 4 goals , and sincerely he looks very good finisher i think he deserves a serie A team like Cagliari whatever even though we cant judge just from a youtube video (RQ7) but he looks promising

Maybe it's just me, but I would rather have this guy as our back up next season than the ever realiable, Cruz, Crespo, Adriano or Balotelli. If he gets 15 goals in Serie B then that would be equal to about 6 in Serie A which is triple what any of our back ups are gonna score.

Maybe it's just you then.

There is no formula of scoring goals in Serie A compared to scoring goals in Serie B.

[nzinter]

wowww what a goal

 

[nzinter]

puts one in again

 

[Harmonyofdissonance]

wtf? Great goal. But I still prefer Acquafresca ;-)

 

[Pico32]

He scored another 2 goals today.

 

[nzinter]

wow he is doin pretty good we should bring him silgardi,acquafresca,filkor and fatic back to try them out during the summer im impressed with our youngsters keep doin good

 

[Gasparroni]

I think that's a bit too much. Doing good at a (with all respect) 'lower' team is not doing good at Inter. They should be able to reach to level of Inter......and even a Inter of greater level than before. Because I'm pretty sure that Mourinho wants a totally other Inter.

Besides Mourinho wants a small squad, so we can't afford many risks with youth players.
