Summer Mercato 2011
i think that mysterious is not the right word to describe Adiyiah, just because he was MVP and top scorer of that tournament...

if you look at all players from last U20, Spanish, England, Germany, italy, Brazil, Hungary U20...

Ganso, Guilano(who went to Russia), Alex Texeira(who went to Shatkar)...Our Albertazzi still in Primavera, in German U20, Only Bender brothers did well this season...i dont know others from Spanish U20, Germany U20 or England U20. Not just Adiyiah in this case... For instance, Kardec and Diago was promising, but they didnt step up...Only players from last U20, who step up are Ganso, Guilano, Bender brothers...Our Albertazzi still in Primavera who was playing as CB in italy U20...

But yet U21 is consists of more ready, experienced players than U20...

for instance, lately i watched Denmark U21 vs Turkey B natioanl team...(more like U23 or higher) They dominated and played great football, excellent passing skills, nice touches...

It's the European Under-21 Championship.

Milan had 3 Golden Balls of UEFA European U21 Championships:

- Andrea Pirlo, 2000
- Gilardino, 2004
- Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, 2006

I've just had a thought: If a midfielder wins the GB, we should take him.
I'm hoping for Eriksen! Big Grin

We still own him (his name spells Adiyiah), but he has been loaned out. First to Reggina, but returned after half a season. We sent him out immediately to Partizan.
Yeah, I know.

Once upon a time, there were 3 real Golden Balls and 2 "young" Golden Balls in Milan Big Grin
