Hey man, I know you follow the Italian League - not sure how much you follow it though (do you watch only Inter games, or others too?). The reason I am asking is because I was looking at something on Goal.com and wanted to know if you had seen Paloschi, Di Gennari and Abate.

If you know anything, it would be much appreciated!
 
I haven't seen much of these kids(and I know the question wasn't directed at me) but there's some info about Palosschi in the January issue of 442 magazine. Here's what they said about him (If your looking for info)

Age: 18
Club: Parma

last season Paloschi was a reletive unkown. Then, in a league match in February, with Milan struggling o break down Sienna, he was sent on by Carlo Ancelotti. After 18 seconds he scored the winning goal with his first touch, running onto a ball over the defence and smashing a shot across the goalkeeper. Ancelotti stood on the touchlne , chuckling at his own Genius.

Quick, agile and a natural finisher, Paloschi went on to make seven first team appearances last season, scoring wo goals, and he got two more for Italy's U19s in this summers European Championships.
With the arival of Ronaldinho and Andriye Schevchenko to an already heavyweight roster of Milan attackers, Paloschi's chances of regular first team play would have been limited this season; but his ambition is such that he prefered to be loaned out to Serie B's Parma rather than return to the shadows.

His impact at Parma was much slower; he had to wait until his second match - in a friendly against poor old Siena- before getting off the mark. In a 4-1 win, Paloschi netted twice and struck up a good rapport with fellow striker Cristiano Lucarelli.
Milan will be hoping he's ready to step up to Serie A full time next season.

Plays a bit like: A young Hernan Crespo
 
Yeah - I know about Paloschi's miracle strike after 18 seconds, IIRC it was a header. It was the talk of the town (so to speak). So when I saw on goal.com that Milan were looking to their youth for a boost, I remembered Paloschi, before he was mentioned in the article.

The gist of my question though was more to do with how he is playing now.
 
Paloschi came through at milan had an ok start when they had injury crisis but got loaned out this season to parma in serie b. I don't follow serie b so I haven't kept up with him. From what I saw of him he is a good striker but probably not enough to play for one of the top 3. Will be a good solid player but doesn't have enough for the real top level.

Di Genarro is a striker who has played at bologna and is now at reggina. Was part of the deal that took borrielo to milan. They co-own him with reggina. Nothing special form what I have seen.

Abate I can't remember seeing him play. If I did he learn leave a lasting memory.

None of these players are really in the same class as the youngsters produced by inter or juve.
