You really can't compare Seedorf to Janku. Janku has always been an ok player, that is solid on a good day. Seedorf was and is still at times world class when he wants to be.

Yes he has to try and work with what he has, but that does not mean keep trying to do what Carlo has been doing, working with what you have doesn't meen keep pushing Janku into that LB area when it clearly isn't working, move Zambro over to the left and play Oddo on the right if he doesn't want to risk Abate/Albertazzi playing in defence. Play Janku in the midfield, instead of trying to make Ambro or Flamini into wingers when they're so far from that its ridiculous to even try. That's all Carlo tactics, we wanted something new, and Leo has options to try. And you're right its still very early to judge, but I see nothing different from Carlo's Milan, only Abate, but really he's better then most of our current mids aside from Pirlo, so really its not that big of a deal that he gets the chances to play

It's only 3 games. In all fairness Janku was amazingly awful against Inter but he has done well against Siena and Livorno. I see nothing wrong with this particular choice of Leo's.

He wasn't good, he did ok in both games, but you have to look at who we played, 2 of the worst teams in the league, he was badly exposed against Inter, and wasn't that solid against Livorno or Siena, especially against Siena, he got done by Maccarone a couple of times.

And like I said I agree with you that its still early but if this keeps up I'm expecting Leo to do something about it, not go the Carlo route and keep playing him until our eyes bleed and he has no choice but take him out after all the damage has already been done

So, the Primavera won the return leg of their Primavera Coppa game v. Cagliari, 3-0 with goals by Gaeta and Zigoni (2). they play the cugini primavera in the next round.

Yay! I hope at least one of our teams can kick the baby cugini's butts.

If worse comes to worse, maybe Diavolino can loan Zigoni his fangs? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The primavera won their league game v. Padova 3-0. Zigoni got one of the goals. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Zigoni really looks like he was a great buy, i wonder what his goal/game ration is but he seems to get 1-2 a game (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What's more important is that players like these are ready to make the crucial step up. Right now, I've been impressed so far by what Darmian and Strasser have done whenever they've been called.

Zigoni looked a little lost in the pre-season, but that's ok.

If we can have Darmian, Strasser, Albertazzi and Zigoni, be ready to step into the team, that would be great news. Esp if Di Gennaro can turn out to be a pleasant surprise as well.

Zigoni looked anything but lost in pre-season I think.

Agreed, he was really getting into the games, yes he missed a couple of good chances but getting into those positions is a very good thing to see from him.

Harmony was another that was given a lot of chances in pre-season, but he didn't really impress me, I don't understand why Leo put him in instead of Beretta, from the looks of it he's very talented and not just the typical Italian poacher

we should start thinking of sending some primavera players into serie B if we think they can make the step up

Zigoni has been called up for the U19 Euro qualifying game v. Denmark this week. Yay and +1 cookie for him! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/96.gif)

Also of note, Daniel Maldini scored for his team in their 3-3 draw this weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yay zigoni, as much as i hated this transfer window it makes me happy we invested into the youth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
is Daniele the one that owned seedorf?

Yep, he's the one who pwned Seedorf. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) He plays in MIDFIELD though, according to the roster on acmilan.com.

No news yet on how big brother Christian's team is doing. They're slow in updating the info about the youth squads.
