That's what he said, but look at the jersey numbers. It's roundabout logic, but a team's #20 is generally NOT a primavera player. Not sure they'd have been allowed to pick those numbers if there was much chance of them sitting with the primavera all season.

The summer is full of surprises ... This should definitely translate into depth, even if they are really young.

i have a firm belive that these two could be the surpirse of the season specially Cardacio bcoz at his position we only have one player that is pirlo of course we replac him with brocchi but who knws if he gets a chance and becomes a regular sub for pirlo and i have high hopes on the lad

I agree that they will add depth we need... and definitely I was caught be surprise by this duo being signed (Viudez and Cardacio). BTW, is Cardacio spelled with two Cs or one? Some sites I see it as Cardaccio.

It's 'Cardaccio' for the Uruguay U-20s, but it's 'Cardacio' on the Lega Calcio site and on acmilan.com, so I'm going with the latter.

They Italianized his name (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

^^ Oh, it's just like Marzorati, in the end, noone will know how to spell his name..

Cardacio fighting some Brazilian kid for the ball during the South American U-20s last year.

(please don't hit me, zd!)

Cardaccio in that pic reminds me of Puyol.

You know I also think that these two being signed could mean that Emerson and Brocchi will have zero playing time. Someone mentioned before players usually don't get numbers like that unless they are being considered for the senior team. I think we will be seeing these two in the upcoming season.

I would hope with some luck we see them play against Man City. Since we need an attacking mid player because of Kaka's absence, Viudez could fill in that spot... not that I want to put pressure on the kid right now. He's very young. Once Ronaldinho comes back. Wow... Kaka will really have a lot of pressure reduced off him.

Just a little something for you from Goal.com (rubbish):

LOL. Cardaccio apparently, according to them, was going to Roma. If that's true, it's just another idea that has gone wrong for Roma.

And they got it wrong again. He was going to LAZIO.

Goal.com is not reliable.

The Duck literally looks like he got his @ss kicked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Go ahead zd, do your worst. I ain't afraid to die. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Of course you aren't afraid to die. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Look what you did to dst in your duel to the finish.

I put him in a coffin and buried him alive. But he told me he'd been trained by Pai Mei. Would he really lie about something like that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
