Erp?
Your question almost doesn't make sense to me - either we have a fundamental assumption problem or a language problem.
I'll answer as though one or both of those is true - which may make the answer insultingly simplistic. If that's the case, please don't be mad, just clarify your question!

it seems all that scouting is good for is to get knowledge i never get any players at all!

Yes. That is correct. Do you expect your scouts to actually sign the players for you?
In FM, scouting only gives you knowledge.
It is then up to you to decide whether or not to bid on the players recommended to you. From the Player's screen, "Make Offer", or "Approach To Sign".
You should also, especially if you're Milan

, get a batch of new youngsters "from your youth academy" each summer.
. . .
If your question is more like "My scouts never recommend anybody", then maybe you haven't sent them out to scout?
Find one of your Scouts, get to his Assignments page, and assign him to Scout | Nation | Italy, for example.
Remember its pretty useless to scout obscure nations in a Small database, you'll have much more success with a Large database or by scouting an "active" league. Scouts are likely to return far fewer players from an inactive league.
