Fiorillo is a long, long, long term prospect. I always loan him out for the first three or four seasons and... well I haven't gotten past four seasons yet on fm09

What I normally do is use VDS and Foster for the first season then sign Hugo Lloris at the beginning of the second by which time he's ready to be immediate first choice. I might try to pry Casillas from Madrid this time around depending on how much money I spend on other players. My definite buys for the second season - Messi (always signs a new contract with a release clause around £46-49m), a first choice striker - Benzema probably, a young backup for Rooney - usually Bojan but I guess I'll actually have to pay for him this time! - and a first choice goalkeeper - Lloris or Casillas. I always sell Nani to Barca for £50m after signing Messi. Tevez will probably go as well.
