The role of 25 players in the team. My idea

25 players with more than 21 years old for each team. This is the rule that the Italian soccer federation has ordered to all teams, and this has caused a big problem because a lot of teams must play many players before the end of the market session.

The rule is even stronger. Every team can have 25 players of more than 21 years old, and 4 of these must have been formed by another Italian team: when we was young (15-21 years old) he should have played in Italy for at least 36 months. Furthermore, other 4 players of the 25 must have been formed by the same team.

Summing up, 17 players can come from wherever you want (group A), 4 must have played in Italy (no matter the team) when they were 15-21 years old (group B), 4 players must have played with the actual team when they were 15-21 years old (group C).

So, let's trying to understand the current situation at Inter.

GOALKEEPER

Handanovich: 31 years old (A: 1/17)

Carrizo: 31 years old (A: 2/17)

Berni: 32 years old  (C: 1/4)

DEFENDERS

Jesus: 24 years old (A: 3/17)

Andreolli: 29 years old (C: 2/4)

Montoya: 24 years old (A: 4/17)

Vidic: 34 years old (A: 5/17)

Santon: 24 years old (C: 3/4)

Dodo: 23 years old (A: 6/17)

Ranocchia: 27 years old (B: 1/4)

Murillo: 23 years old (A: 7/17)

Miranda: 31 years old (A: 8/17)

D'Ambrosio: 27 years old (B: 2/4)

Nagatomo: 29 years old (A: 9/17)

MIDFIELDERS

Kondogbia: 22 years old (A: 10/17)

Kovacic: 21 years old (C: 4/4)

Guarin: 29 years old (A: 11/17)

Medel: 28 years old (A: 12/17)

Brozovic: 22 years old (A: 13/17)

Hernanes: 30 years old (A: 14/17)

STRIKERS

Palacio: 33 years old (A: 15/17)

Icardi: 22 years old (B: 3/4)

Biabiany: 27 years old (C: 5/4)

Jovetic: 25 years old (A: 16/17)

Shaqiri: 24 years old (A: 17/17)

This is the situation according to the official website. We have 17 players in the group A, 3 in the  group B (but we should understand the Jovetic's status), and 5 in the group C (Kovacic has played for 3 years and he arrived when he was 18 years old).

So, we have at least 1 player to sell, but the Vidic's injury put it aside the list and probably we'll sell Andreolli, Juan (let's hope), Nagatomo, D'Ambrosio, Shaqiri, and Dodò (loan). (I don't consider Schelotto as well that is already out of the team).

If we sold these 5 players, we'd have space for Melo, a left wide back and another attacker (Perisic or someone else). 

Our situation is not so dramatic, considering the fact that this market session will last for another month, more or less.
