Bently and miler don't ave the pace so they rely more o they're tehnical ablity and end product, which are both far far superior to Lennon's but statistically over the course of the season Lennon will provide more assists, as h gets the more opportunities to provide them through his pace.

Grosso (Lyon): Will be interesting to see how he can replace Abidal. Lyon supporters are very happy because they think he won't make as many mistakes as Abidal did.

Amelia (Livorno) - already a world champion, he is buffon's heir.

Bovo (Genoa) - A coupla bad seasons, I think Bovo will be reborn at Genoa where he will finally become a starter. His few performaqnces for Torino this year were encouraging.
Vanden Borre (Fiorentina) - has all the characteristic to make an immediate impact in Serie A
Chiellini (Juventus) - the azzurini captain has cemented his place for the bianconeri

Paro (Genoa) - finally proved his potential for Juve in Serie B last season... now he needs to confirm it for Genoa in A
Aquilani (Roma): Injury last season hampered his progress... this season he will forge a strong partnership with De Rossi!
Foggia (Cagliari) - Talented, did well for Reggina last season, and I think this will be his season like last season was Rosina's.
Jankovic (Palermo) - Impressed in the U21s... I can't wait to watch him play for Palermo.
Rosina (Torino) - Revelation of last season (as I predicted before) he is going to become the next Italian great.

Cavani (Palermo) - I really really rate this kid, and from what I hear, he is doing well in the U20 WC. I hope he gets playing time, will be difficult with Amauri & Miccoli in the team.
Quagliarella (Udinese) - His goals are already legendary. We need more, Quag!

Other kids to look out for:
Aquafresca (Cagliari), Giovinco (Empoli), Lavezzi (Napoli), Ribas (Livorno), Nocerino (Juventus), Gastaldello (Sampdoria), Molinaro (Juventus).

Are there any Scottish talents that we need to keep a look out for?

Faubert.

As I said earlier, Scott Brown is head and shoulders above everyone else, and along with Gordon I believe he can/will be genwinely world class. I'd be disappointed if he isn't catching the eye of Europes top clubs within a season or two. He would have been better moving to the EPL instead of Celtic, but hopefully he will impress enough in the CL & in internationals to get a move.

Other than that, Whittaker (like you say), Naismith and perhaps Bjarnason. Possibly Benjelloun of Hibs, who is skillful and two footed.

Also, I still have hope for Burke who performed well in the CL a couple of years back, and was praised by both Pellegrini & Mancini. Don't know much about Donati or Cuellar to have an opinion on them.

I rarely watch the SPL myself to be honest, so am not entirely clued up either, but other than those mentioned I don't think they'll be any standouts really.
