Pina was lucky that the manager was Andreazzoli who's known for trusting young players. I don't know if thier new manager Zanetti is the same or not.

I like it he's the default starter for them already. Really thought Destro would be their main guy. Not a lot of goals yet but he's doing the right stuff.

He is like the Tesco version of Laurato, looked lively but missed 2 big chances.

Hopefully he can replace Dzeko or Correa next season. If not hopefully he is Pinamonti #2 and we can sell him for 20+ million :). Then If they can do that for Salcedo or Esposito they will be my 2nd favorite team :)

Yeah, I doubt we can get 20m€ for him unless he starts scoring big time.

But what I really hope is that we could keep him. That he would become dependable enough that we could use him in rotation. Of course this is a bit oxymoron since if he doesn't score enough this season, how could he be good enough for Inter? Well, I'm thinking we might not have money so we need to use our own players.

So let's hope he starts hitting the net a bit more and generally develops to a Lautaro type of hardworking guy which he has characteristics already in my opinion.

Had a couple of bad misses, especially that first 1on1 with the keeper. He needs to be much more clinical than this if he wants a career in Serie A.

Good thing is he looks to be a starter for them already. Despite not scoring, the coach wants Satriano on the pitch.

It's a strategy from our club. We wanted to send him to Serie A. I don't mind that in general, but why send him to freaking Brest, a French Empoli, then send him to Empoli? It's also because teams from less exposed leagues cannot really afford that kind of a salary on a kid, let alone a fee that Inter was asking initially. If we really want to develop these guys we need to absorb the salary and send them to the best environment.

I'd rather send him to a team that challenges for their domestic championship and then ship him to a midtable Serie A team if that's the path. Sending him to these kind of clubs shatters his development and most importantly, his confidence. You need to be part of a winning group to develop properly unless you have a B team that has a great setup.

If you check the top strikers of the previous generation you'd see that they have this in common and it was very rare to find a paradox. They spent their formative years competing for trophies.
Benzema, started off with a bang at Lyon.
Lewandowski, two full seasons challenging in Poland and was more than ready to become the main striker after a year with Dortmund and win back-to-back with in his first two seasons there.
Dzeko, competed in Bosnia, then odd case as Teplice had their long shot in his first season but when he took off the team wasn't as good. He did compete in Germany though at Wolfsburg. And won the league when he was 23 as the team's leader.
Higuain, competed with River Plate, then at Real Madrid.
Luis Suarez, competed in Uruguay and with Ajax before going to Liverpool.
Aguero, competed with the young teams of Argentina (2 World Cups and Olympics) and his club Independiente to a degree, then competed at Atletico in the early Simeone days.
Falcao, competed with River, Porto and Atletico.
Cavani, competed at club and national level with Uruguay (incl. Copa America win), even at Palermo they reached the cup and was part of the first Napoli contentions in the 2010s (2012-13 season).



If you want to get a striker to reach a higher status, you need to give him this kind of experience. I cannot think of any top striker at a top level that got his playing experience at a relegation battling team. Can barely think of a few that got their early exposure at midtable teams or weak outsiders. Even a Serie B contender is a better experience than a relegation battler in Serie A. Doesn't even need to win it, but being part of a group that wins and gets that 'bug' is a very good experience and compass for the player's future. The Verratti, Immobile and Insigne way with Pescara.

Not everyone is world class and not everyone becomes world class, but at least maximize the chances for your players to gain such exposure. This is why I prefer these guys sticking to the first team and rot on the bench over being sent to useless loans. They stay with a group that competes, they get to train with higher level teammates, better coaches and they understand the pressure that comes with it. Playing with a team that's happy they didn't lose is not the right direction. It's one thing to get players accustomed to the league and another to expect them to perform in unfavorable conditions.

Agree with this sentiment.

But I'd say the kid is getting the valuable experience of playing against Serie A defences. That's the only silver lining here IMO. But in general, it might just destroy any confidence he has had in himself. Hard to score there and learn the ropes of scoring in Serie A in a club like Empoli.

It indeed looks these players are just pawns for Marotta, he's trying to find ways to monetize these kids, not trying to actually have any plan for their development as useful players for the club.

But Satriano has done some things right in Empoli, at least in the early season since he was a consistent starter for them for many games despite not scoring.

But what good does it do if he rots on the bench in Inter(he for sure will) as brehme said? You gotta play games to improve your skill as well as your confidence.

If he's not scoring in Empoli with the minutes he's getting, he's for sure not gonna score any more goals here.

How is this justified?

At Empoli you get less quality teammates, you are on the defensive pedal most of the game and the level and amount of chances you get isn't as high as at a team like Inter.
This isn't last year's Empoli. If hr were at Sassuolo or Udinese I'd be with you.

As @CafeCordoba said, it's good that he gets to find out Serie A even in this way, but unless he has an innate mentality of steel, this playing time has more negative effects than positive. And this is also the reasons why our top Primavera graduates never amount to anything.

People used to say same for Pinamonti iirc. If he is in more attacking team, he'll score more. But, he is now in Sassuolo, and I don't see him scoring tons of goals.
I don't mind to get Satriano back as long as he gets some reasonable playing time, but with Inzgahi this is impossible. He would rather use one sticker with Hakan or Mkhitaryan behind him.

Remember satriano is 21, soon 22. It's been left a little "late", this is what he should have been doing 18/19, not 21/22.
