Matic: Seems to have a really good potential but i'm worried a bit about how versatile he is. I have no idea if he is only a central mid or if he can go back and play DM or right and left etc as ballack and schweini can. However, he is an amazing passer.

Borini: Haven't seen enough of him but the few minutes I did he impressed me quite alot. I know that there are many others on top of him but being Italian and all im sure Carlo will find time for him. He's the striker for the U-21(?) Italian squad so he must have some real talent.

Sam Dalla Bona was captain of the italian under 21s. Not sure you can use that as much of a benchmark

edit: sorry, U19s...

To be fair Sam did look a decent prospect when with us, I wonder if he regrets leaving when he did as he could have had quite a few years of 1st team football with us.
