I agree. Shameful behaviour, kidnapping of the worst sort that - paying young footballers a very big amount of money, giving them a good education and offering one of the best training setups in the world to someone who wants to develop as a player.I find the whole English pilaging of foreign academies pathetic and mind-numbing really. Techinically there isn't any case to answer but morally it's poor stuff and stinks to high hell of hypocrisy and self interests.

You're talking like the boys have no choice in the matter, that they have to move if a foreign club comes knocking on the door.
I tend to agree, but the only thing that would change is that big clubs wouldn't go after talented youngsters because of the high associated fees. That would be good for the selling clubs, but poor for the player himself if you're just talking about his development as a player.generally I agree - but at the same time I can't help thinking "why the H... can't these countries change their legislation ?" I mean surely - even before this started, they must have realized what the consequences would be ?

It's fecking nonsense to be honest. UEFA are trying and failing to get an exemption on French/Italian/Spanish employment legislation when it comes to footballer's and the club that trains them as a youth but can't ensure they reap the benefits by tying them to a pro contract until 17/18.

European Union. Free workflow between countries. Can't do what S-American does.
It's the Italians' own laws that ban them from offering contracts above a certain wage to young players, whilst we can pay more.

Well he's only three years younger then our first choice 'keeper and he's Italian so thats a good signing in my books.
So was Taibi.
A statement on the club's official website read: "Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino has taken into consideration the comments made by player Pierluigi Gollini and is surprised by his decision.
"He takes the opportunity to thank players (Niccolo) Fazzi, (Saverio) Madrigali, (Leonardo) Capezzi, (Federico) Bernardeschi and (Luca) Lezzerini, who have decided to remain with the Viola club, not being lured by false illusions of English sirens in recent days.
"Of the 150 players that have decided to go abroad, no-one has been able to earn a place in the first team."
According to this statement by Fiorentina sporting director only this Gollini has agreed to join us
