I am currently playing for Inter Milan, finishing 5th season and my Under-19 squad was for some reason qualified to group stage of Copa Libertadores Sub-20, as you can see below on the screen. Why? I think it is bug, because this competition is only for clubs from Amercia, right?
Thanks for replies.

It occurred to me too. Shame that I can't see all teams from previous years to confirm that, but never mind, I am looking forward to it. Cambiasso is doing miracles with them - first win in Torneo di Vareggio, then in their league group, semifinal of cup I think and now this.

How you been treating the young players in Italy? Been letting them go out on co-owns and loans? Its only on FM14 that I've truly been won over by co-ownership deals. I had a few seasons with Torino and I'd make a point of trying to get some of my youngsters out on co-own deals to try and help them develop over a two year period.

As for Inter's primavera being entered in the Copa Libertadores Sub-20, well, their practically a South American team anyway, surprised Catania and their motley crew of second rate Argies aren't there as well...

Yeah, I am pretty scared that Thonir will sack me because of him.
And about youngsters: it depends. For the first 4 years, I did not pay so much attention to my young team, so when good loan offer came to my desk, I accept it. I never used co-ownerships, however. In my first season, I try to resolve all this deals and buy 50% of decent ones and sell others (+ I bought Icardi in second season, as I wasn't sure how he will play). I don't like this concept.
Before and during fifth season, I cancelled all loan offers and let just players, who I have conversation with (about 4-5 players with 2 and a half stars at most). I also use some money and bought 4 youngsters by myself and let my Head of Youth Development (Thiago Motta) to buy some other talents. Then it was up to Cambiasso to set starting 11 and after that, I gave free transfer to those, who were left, with almost no value and nto so good potential. And it brings successes so far. For sixth season, I am going to bring two players to A-team.
And I agree that Italy has got a lot of really good players, in my opinion up to 24 years of age.

Co-ownership deals can be daunting at first, but I definitely think they have their use. They're a good way to raise some funds and also get game time for players who may be just below the level you are looking for. With games at another club, players who maybe only have two star or two and a half star PA could develop into decent backups for you and could be brought back for a cheap fee.
With youngsters it is all about just finding your own development method, I don't usually start paying proper attention to my youth team until three or four seasons in. After that I take a keen interest in who is coming in, who gets loaned out, etc

I also have Zanetti as my Football Director. But he had a preference, so it was easy.
That sounds interesting, I maybe reconsider co-ownerships.
