I thought Carlo said that both will train with the first team for a week, and after that they'll decide what to do?
The reason they are put in the first team is that every club in Italy has the right to sign 2 non-EU players per season (and 1 in the winter trasfer window). This is a valuable option and most of the clubs don't miss to exploite it by signing young talents from all arround the world every season. Once they were signed on a permanent contract ussually these youngsters are loaned to clubs from lower divisions. That was supposed to be the faith of Kaka when he arrived initially in Milan at the age of 21 I think. But after a few weeks he turned to be too good for serie B team (IMG:

So far we have signed Dinho but he already has a spanish passport so the two spots for non EU players were still free and it wasn't a big surprise that these two young southamericans were signed at the end.
However I thought I read somewhere that one of them may have an italian passport. If it is true I would expect us to sign another non EU youngster.
