madras Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 nowt on youtube..i wonder if he's on FM (not a player myself). if not how will those regulars tell us they know all about him ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 All I know is he is an Italy U17 international. We should look at Forrestieri (sp?) of Genoa if we are looking at young Italians, a talent of the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayerso Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I was told yesterday there was an young Italian and African both taken for medicals in Jesmond with there parents (so must be young), they were both staying at the Gosforth Park Hotel.

Yorkie Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Another young import; great news. Four/five cultured youngsters in one window is good going imo. It's disappointing that we've not got any immediate first teamers in, but it was always going to be very difficult, simply due to the inflation and the fact that it's mid-season (not to mention the wholescale changes in the backroom). I mean look, only Chelsea and Spurs have made really significant signings (probably Boro soon, too). Anelka for £15m and Woodgate/Hutton for £16m. No one's really spent this window. I said early in the window, when there was a thread asking what would you realistically like to see, i said that three highly rated youngsters would be great. I still think that aswell. When was the last time we did this? We should have endorced this transfer policy as soon as Sir Bobby left. Other teams did, that's when it became popular. Obviously, there was the Chelsea thing, but Arsenal's fantastic never-lose players were starting to run out of steam (Ljungberg, Pires, etc), Liverpool brought in youngsters, Man Utd did with Rossi, Pique etc. Obviously, the Chelsea situation was a bit different. Bobby was starting to do so (Milner/Zog/Ambrose), but we chucked him. I'm chuffed with how this side of the transfer window has panned out tbh.

Worth pondering. Arsenal let other teams do the hard work, and then use legal loopholes to steal all of their best youngsters. We need to be part of that deal somehow.
