sorry i meant at Inter!

I know you said first team but not sure if Franco and Valentin played together at some point. I don't think the Stankovic bros have.

We also had the two Esposito brothers. That's like 3 pairs of siblings at the same time actually


I know we had some sort of a record with 4-5 brothers playing at the same time, but then WW1 broke out. The Cevenini brothers. Honestly don't remember if we ever had other first team siblings, but we definitely had at times players sharing the same surname that were unrelated And coming from completely different countries, like Javier and Cristiano Zanetti.

 

[.h.]

yeah, but none of them have played in the inter XI at the same time right? Dont think the Carbonis have yet (at least in a competitive match). Obviously, was asking around the Stankovics - midfielder in the primavera team of the season + goalkeeper in the team of the season for his club is actually pretty solid. Makes me hopeful.

does anyone know when we last had two brothers play a first team game at rthe same time? I cant remember an example

Vecino & Gagliardini.

We had the Cevenini brothers ‘I’ through ‘V’ (Aldo, Mario, Luigi, Cesare and Carlo respectively) at the club at different times back at just after the turn of the 20’th century. At least two of them must have played together at the same time.

Luigi was a HOF nominee this year, actually (a very stellar 158 goals in 190 games).

Seems we had the same sort of case with the Visentins, Gino (II) and Umberto (III) in the late 1920's.

There already in Serie A, but id take a gamble on the Vignato bros

also really thought Roberto Insigne would be a big star

 

[IM21]

Esposito scored with his heel for Italy U20.

Massimo & Antonio Paganin

 

[pier]

Not in the first team, but technically we had Geoffrey and Evans Kondogbia, as well as Clarence and Chedric Seedorf, as part of a transfer transaction.

 

[PpanY]

Pio esposito scored a goal for Italy.

Samaden's CV on leaving Inter after 33 years:

1. Developed Juventus key CB Leonardo Bonucci
2. Developed Federico Dimarco
3. Developed Mario Balotelli
4. ..
5. ....
6. Martins?
7. ..
8. ....
9. ..
10. .....

 

[junior55]

Well its not Samadens fault that he developed Bonucci and the club first gave it away and then when deciding which one to choose from Bari between Ranochia and Bonucci chose the former.

That said i don't think we have the right data/information to be able to evaluate his work.
There is an undeniable fact that Inter along side Empoli, Roma, Atalanta & Milan have been one of the most successful clubs results side in the last 10-15 years.
It is also undeniable that among the above clubs Inter has been the one to have less "Top Club" level players produced but probably most "professional" level players among serie A , B , C. The reason of the above can have multiple point of views which are partly to be assigned to Samaden and mostly to the club policy overall.

I think that for a big club that needs to win trophies the best way to evolve youth prospects is what Juve did with the B team. When and if we do that though is not on Samaden but on the club

 

[.h.]

Yeah. I think this comes down to the philosophical question of the point of a youth team which I've mentioned a couple of times

Is the obligation to give the people in the academy the best shot of a professional career, irrespective of what that level is? In which case, Samaden has definitely succeeded

Or is the point of an academy to create players for the first team (or, at least, first team capable, if sometimes sold on for plusvalenza) in which case its been a disaster
