    <span class="titolo">Milan To Invest More In Youngsters</span></p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p>

    <span class="sommario">In an effort to add some youthful energy to an undeniably aging squad, European Champions Milan have turned their attention to a number of interesting young Brazilians.</span></p>

    After many years of investments on already established players during their transfer campaigns, Milan seem intent on altering that policy and look at more youthful players in the future.</p>

    That doesn't mean they're doing it to spend less money; consider only that they spent22 million euros last summer to snatch then 17-year-oldPato away from Internacional. That was the move that started the change in Milan's market strategies.</p>

    Right now the Rossoneri have set their sights on San Paolo defender Breno, who at 18 years of age is already considered to be one of the best stoppers in Brazil. This means he will not cost much less than Pato did.</p>

    Milan's recent double-header against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League showcased two more interesting young Brazilians, Fernandinho and Ilsinho, both 22. Currently the market value of Fernandinho is estimated at 7-8 million euros.</p>

    Then there is also the hypothesis of forming an attacking couple composed of Pato and CSKA Moscow's Jo, which would be the same of the Brazilian Under 20 side.</p>

    The latter impressed the Milan management in the recent Champions League matches against Inter, in which he managed to score twice. The Russian side, who bought the player for around 5 million euros, now consider him to be worth at least twice as much.</p>

    This is very true. I was playing Fifa 08 as manager mode and picked AC Milan, I can't tell you how frustrated I was, most of the starters were old, I never realized how old that squad was until I played it on Fifa, I had to sell most of the players and got very little money because they were on their last years of their footballin days. I know it sounds dumb to get my argumentsfrom a video game, but it reflects the lack of young talent milan have, other than Pato and kaka....lol, they really need to let the young players play and step up.</p>
