The pillage of Italian talent is without end. Its Manchester United the team who took away Macheda, Petrucci and who has 5 italians in its youth academy. In August the red devils took Fornasier, 16 year old defender captain of the national youths without even contacting Fiorentina. Coach Panteleo Corvino said "They gave him a trail despite not being yet 16 year old, the UEFA will tackled this". The main culprit is ex rugby player David Williams who also happen to be SAF's close friend and who constantly go and watch italian young talent in action. The red devils do not deal with clubs. At least if caught guilty they will have to pay for recompensation.
Williams is not watching Empoli closely. In July Manchester United had taken Alberto Massacci born in 1993. Now United are interested in Manuel Pucciarelli 18 yr old, right forward/winger who is still a free agent. Williams the plunderer searches only free agents and he doesn't have to work alot to find them. Youth coach Marcello Carlo had in fact confirm that they don't try to run after noone. Empoli cannot afford to give pro contracts to 240 youths. From October the recompensation will increase. Whoever try to take a youth will have to pay 85K (euros) per year. The problem is that in Italy the youths find it very hard to make it with the first team.
Currently in GB play 30 italians. Aquilani and Dossena are estabilished players but many are youngsters who were brought on free. Borini and Sala play for Chelsea, Ranieri at Spurs, Trotta and Mancini jnr at Shitty. West Ham had signed Andrea Zola (Gianfranco's son). Some italian clubs had managed to keep their youth talent. Ragazu had remained at Cagliari, Daud at Juventus, etc. Mister Williams is still on the prawl
D.O.B: 1975.
