Gianluca Galliani, son of Monza's CEO Adriano Galliani, expressed his appreciation for Valentin Carboni, the forward who arrived on loan from Inter, to the microphones of TVPlay: "I believe Carboni has enormous potential, and he's an intelligent guy whom I really like. He needs experience, he can't go back to Inter but he must continue to play and pursue a path of growth. Putting him in a top team now would be a mistake, but I really don't think the Inter executives will do that. Monza is a team with competition, so I believe this season is serving him to become a better player."
Galliani also talks about Michele Di Gregorio, a goalkeeper raised in Inter's youth system and now back in the Inter orbit: "Di Gregorio and Andrea Colpani have long contracts. If someone wants to take them away from Monza, they will have to work hard. Di Gregorio is among the best goalkeepers in Europe, and it's not certain at all that he will leave Monza, which is a team that thinks differently and wants to try to win as many games as possible before deciding what to do at the end of the season."
-------------------
I agree wholeheartedly. He is making great strides at Monza, with game-time in 21 out of 28 league matches (7 of them starting), and at 19 years of age in a notoriously conservative Serie A, that's no mean feat. Taking him back as a fifth option for next seasons reeks of the cheap and short-sighted solution (if we even need a fifth option for attack - who knows), which will ultimately stump his growth. Being young and a reserve at Inter has never benefitted anyone except for the coach who had an extra body in case of 'break in case of glass'-emergencies (looking at you,
Inzaghi) or when nothing really mattered. Pinamonti came from two 5-goals-a-season seasons with Frosinone and Genoa, and then played 164 minutes under Conte, for instance. It's an absolute gamebreaker for young players to be last in line, and this wouldn't be any different. Correa/Sanchez/whatever cheap option on top of, assumedly, Lautaro/Thuram/Taremi/Arnautovic will have to do, if we even need five strikers. We don't need to rush him back here just for him to stand with a thumb up his ass.
Keep him loaned at Monza - Palladino loves him and he's getting solid minutes. Venturing into hypothetical territory, if we could incentivize Monza to lower the price for Di Gregorio (I'm drooling, I know) in a simultaneous loan-deal and park them both at Monza for the time being, we're looking at a giant win-win.
