lol. Not really. They bought Munoz and are on the market for Toloi.

Any news on his condition?

Verdi was left behind, in Milan, as a precautionary due to a mild knee sprain suffered in the Emirates Cup. He is expected to be back for the TIM Trophy on August the 13th.

Great news. For me, i just want to follow barca/man utd model of using our high potential kids like verdi, merkel and integrating them slowly. Star cup games, some spot starts v. smaller teams, super subs

Milan need to learn how to DEVELOP players. None of this paloschi co-ownership loan out till 25 bs.

thnx!

looks very talented..natural on the ball.

ps who did that backheel on the hilites? merkel? swag

Merkel did a backheel, so I'm sure we're talking about the same. Was really nice to see that from him

I hope Verdi has no serious injury, haven't really read about it anywhere so I don't know how bad it is. Maybe it's not that bad and they want to have him fully fit for the upcoming weeks, so they did not take him to the US. That's what I hope for.

About loaning him out/co-ownership deals etc., a big NO to that. We can't lose someone like Verdi, he's a big talent and he could get enough playing time here, at least with Allegri as coach. So I never would loan him out or give him to another club, he should learn everything here and hopefully he will be our future star. It would be a big mistake to let him play somewhere else, we can't afford to lose him.

Verdi should definetly be kept here at the san siro.
haven't seen him play. but heard many good things about him on the red & black forums

+10 best post i've heard in a while. not some amazing epiphany or anything, but it is so true that how we have been developing players has produced nothing and we seem to have a boatload of talent now in our youth and its time to take the most promising ones and give them CONSISTENT time here and there to improve... exactly like what barca is doing with pedro, etc.

simone verdi should make at least 12 serie A debut's this seasion. This is to boast his experiance and playing skills

Yeah well this two actually deserve a good run in the team.Prior to them we didn't really have any youngsters that did.

I'm just going to point to how awesome seedorf looked with merkel, strasser and verdi because of there high energy and movement.

it's same thing i've said all along about pirlo but it's true..... give guys like pirlo or seedorf guys who make runs and move a lot, they'll look miles better because they won't have to cover as much ground... which as a 30something year old cm, you shouldn't be expected to on a consistent basis

Good point.I hope Merkel manages to get into the first 11 this year and links up well with Pirlo.

We will have a situation similar with the 2006 azurri here.

LOL... thats an awful translation via milannews.it. Example A, y you don't use google translation

http://www.milannews.it/?action=read&idnotizia=31449

con buona probabilità, fara la spola tra Primavera e prima squadra durante la prossima stagione del Milan.

it said at end of article something to extent....it's likely he'll split team between primavera and first team next season.

primavera translates as " spring"

Thats why it's a shame he got hurt... could have established more of a first team place... though i dont mind him playing some primavera games if he won't see field

IMO he's good enough to play first team now though.

previous report said.... verdi should be fit before berlusconi cup. He's already working out. Looks like a slight knee sprain (total gues on my part)

lol my heart stopped beating for a second, it's as senatore said

him and merkel will most likely play both teams. which is good, they will need all the playing time they can get. i hope they play all the coppa matches though (about time we had a good run in it btw) and at least 5-10 appearances in serie a (they don't have to be starts, but substantial minutes would be nice)

EDIT: obviously i expect strasser and oduamadi to play more than that seeing how they are full-time seniors now. hopefully they get quite a few starts and more sub appearances each, helps keep the team fresh after all and we will definitely need them more next season what with lots of players going out of contract. I can see a few of the youth really excelling under allegri

SENSACION7 · Aug 7, 2010

This Kid Is A Sure Fire Star Talent In The Making. Out Of All the Kids He's The Most Ready First Teamer. Followed Very Very Closly By Merkel. Our Best Kept Secret.

Get Well Soon Kid !

Susan · Aug 8, 2010

I'm sure he will be back for the next friendlies because I read he only has a slight knee sprain, so nothing serious. I really hope to have him back then because he is a big talent and I want to see him play with the first team as often as possible.

Completely Agree... Soon We'll Be Seeing Ely, Hotter, DeVito In The Squad !

ikita · Aug 19, 2010

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.

Senatore_M84 · Aug 19, 2010

I think verdi might play both first team and primavera and in january they'll assess. He's barely 18. If he's too good for pirmavera but can't get enough time in first team, he might be loaned.

ikita · Aug 19, 2010

i see. hmmm. when he becomes better, and if it does happen in a time where he cannot get enough playing time in the first team and needs to go elsewhere, it better be purely a loan. Verdi is not one that we should co-own with another team. i honestly feel that, when the deal goes to co-ownerships there is a high chance that we will lose the player and this must not happen with verdi or any of our upcoming stars. these players are gonna light up the san siro in years to come. who knows they may already be able to do so.

SixOneFive · Aug 19, 2010

I really want to see this guy play juve on sunday, especially with the duck being out. This guy coming around could be extremely convenient to us this year b/c I'm losing faith about Hunt leaving for us to bring in Ibra or whoever.

Can't believe how young he is

Senatore_M84 · Aug 19, 2010

Anyone know his healthy. It's a shame he hurt his knee v. lyon

He would have played panithiakos and TIM cup and i'm sure he would have established himself ahead of Odu.

I think I saw him in our latest training, don't know if his doing separate training or the same with the healthy players..
Surely he will be in and out the primavera and senior team, his very-very young but a bit too good for primavera already, his current problem is only physical attributes although he bulked up a bit compare to last season

You make a good point, in my eye's he's a slight higher than Merkel in readiness. Although i think that Odu's issue was he missed several training and friendlies before tha Panathinaikos game. We are now seeing a more comfortable play out of him.

I do believe your right he's still with the first team again. I read somewhere it was just a sprain.

Polotelli · Aug 19, 2010

i really believe that Verdi & Merkel can breaktrough this year

Dwa Milan · Aug 19, 2010

Well Milan site also claim that Verdi is being promoted
by the way Verdi played alongside Fossati and Merkel in the senior players primavera mixed against our senior side

here's the mix team line up:
Amelia; Ghiringhelli, Onyewu, Albertazzi, Jankulovski; Verdi, Strasser, Fossati, Oduamadi; Merkel; Beretta.

KujaIX · Aug 19, 2010

That seems like the second string side. Look at the senior's used. Onyewu, Amelia and Janku. All will be backups this year.

yeah the mix it up, probably because some of the senior players are not fit enough to play

here's the first team (full senior team line up)
first half
Abbiati; Papastathopoulos, Thiago Silva, Yepes, Antonini; Flamini, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Abate, Huntelaar, Ronaldinho.

second half.
Amelia; Oddo, Bonera, Kaladze, Zambrotta; Gattuso, Boateng, Merkel; Seedorf, Inzaghi, Borriello.

the first team wins 4-0 (1 goal in the first half, three in the second)

masterofnaiads · Aug 19, 2010

no oguchi...no odu?

Why is Oguchi being completely left out when scum like Kaladze are played?

Pedro · Aug 19, 2010

Have I missed a game today or yesterday? :conf:
