Toje Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Sorry, can't seem to link it, but the player is Alessandro Busti who is in the Juventus system. The Juventus FC Youth twitter account posted it yesterday, so seems like it is okay to post. He has an Italian flag beside his name, and they do not mention that he is playing for Canada. The training camp starts on May 22nd. https://twitter.com/JuventusFCYouth/status/995711181074698240 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the one that made the most sense for sure, especially once I realized we weren't married to the main list. 17 yo keeper, there's a lot of volatility there. But the pedigree doesn't come any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, these games are friendlies. I haven't seen any mention of him playing for Italy on multiple profiles so he can switch back and forth until he plays an official youth match.

Obinna Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I find it hard to get excited about keeper prospects. Even ones in the Juventus system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to know what's the typical path for a youth keeper who's part of the Juventus system. Thanks to GianLuigi Buffon, becoming the Juventus #1 hasn't been an option for the last 15 years or so. But are those keepers usually able to get a shot at pro football?

Prior to him was Peruzzi 91-99, and Tacconi 83-92. 3 goalies have played the bulk of games over 34 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccer.shocker Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Ha ha happy I called Busti back on page 2 or 3 somewhere but a bit disappointed no-one took me up on the $100 bet lol. Woulda been a nice addition to the beer fund for next MNT home match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince193 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I asked them on Twitter I was told Thursday. I'd link the tweet but I don't know how to from my phone. Also isn't the Busti tweet indicating he's playing for Italy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNMNTPERUELIGIBLE Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I figured it would'be been Busti, still perplexes me why on the Twitter feed he's coming up with the Italian flag ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of Italy doesn't even know that Canada has a team, so they probably don't even consider a Canadian call up a possibility and assume it must be for Italy.

dyslexic nam Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Does anyone know if we will be able to watch this tourney? I am way less familiar with our youth players than the folks on this thread, so it would be great to catch a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious who’s getting called. you basically got Pantemis ( age 21, 97) Montreal Impact Breza ( age 20, 97 ) SSD Potenza Calcio Hasal ( age 19 , 99 ) Vancouver Whitecaps Res. Desjardins ( 18 , 00) Spezia Primavera Busti ( 17 , 00 ) Juventus Primavera my pick would be Breza , Desjardins and Busti. Let the three pro Italian leagues goalies battle it out.
