Frankly, I think the management should wait and see how Donnarumma pans out for now. If he continues as he is now, and is replaced because ultimately he's seen to be too young, it's a terrible decision to make. I understand he's young, but worse still is giving him an opportunity, only to then take it away because the club has changed its mind about his age. If there were questions on that point, he should never have been put in the senior squad so young. The repercussions of taking his first team spot away like that could also be big, especially if he then decides he wants to leave because he's not being given an opportunity. If his performances drop, then its fine to reconsider his position, but even if Lopez isn't around, Abbiati's not a bad keeper for now. Right now, I'd say he's growing from strength to strength, it's impossible to question his starter status on performances.
Felicioli's still in Primavera, not sure he'll ever quite make it to the senior squad, but its worth keeping an eye on him. On Ely, I really see no reason not to give him support. He's young and he's going to make mistakes, we have to accept that. He's shown potential since leaving Primavera though.

I think he had a very good pre-season and I was really surprised by how composed and experienced he seemed. Especially when he was playing next to Alex. I think with the right support and gentle nurturing we have a good player on our hands.
Speaking of defenders, I wonder whatever happened to Felicioli who did so well in that one match under Inzaghi.
