right so i was beginning to worry about whether they'll send verdi back into the primavera. eventually i found this on the official website.
"The Rossoneri second string team has changed a lot from last season.
There are 12 players confirmed from the Primavera 2009-2010: Davide Di Fabio, goalkeeper; Albertazzi, De Sciglio, De Vito, Ghiringhelli, Pasini, defenders; Calvano, Hottor, Merkel and Novinic, midfielders; Beretta and Gaeta, forwards. There are 14 new arrivals: Paleari and Piscitelli, goalkeepers; Baldan, Desole, Pirovano and Sampirisi, defenders; Bertoni, Fossati, Lora and Santonocito, midfielders; Cogliati, Ganz, Mancuso and Palibrk, forwards.
The situation has changed regarding other players who were part of the Primavera 2009-2010 squad: Zigoni, Strasser and Oduamadi are co-owned by Milan and Genoa, Verdi is in the orbit of the first team, Donnarumma has been loaned to Piacenza, Romagnoli to Foggia, Schenetti to Lucchese, Scampini to Pisa."
so, i think the loan deals are good. and you can see Fossati, Desole and Santonocito are there in the new arrivals list. Calvano and Hottor are there too. a big surprise though was Merkel. i had thought he was gonna stay with the first team. i guess Strasser will be staying though in our first team, as is Oduamadi since they are co-owned. and lastly, Verdi's made it to the first team i think. wtf does "in orbit" mean? is it like, he's almost in the first team? or he's at the first team's disposal? i think it means we'll see some of him this season in the first team.
