Someone linked to Henry Winter's twitter account a while back and he posted that we were in Italy looking to sign a couple of players. Massacci leaked quite early and was assumed to be one, but the other target was unknown so maybe we this is the other lad.
Yeah its looking that way. Hes the blonde haired lad who Massacci was talking to most of the time he was shown in any of the footage
Some google searching: DOB 22.08.1993 and there seem to have been rumours about us being after him from early July. Not really anything more substantial though.
Given than we just brought in Massacci, McGinty and have Thorpe who looks a real prospect at centre back, I'm guessing that he may be a right back?

He was born on 22.8.93 but cannot find any other details.
Does anyone have the link to the Italian website that shows all youth games played by players?
Ive also heard hes the Italian under 16 captain but not sure if its true
If anyone can translate Italian http://generazioneditalenti.forumfree.net/?t=40801536
'Oltre a lui quasi fatta per il capitano viola Fornasier classe 1993 al Man Utd'
I get 'Besides he nearly made for the captain Fornasier viola class 1993 to the Man Utd' which isn't very helpful!

Besides its almost completed for the captain of the purple(fiorentina) Fornasier class of 1993 to Man united
Hmmmmm.. Interesting..
My Italian is about as good Steven Gerrard's diving and it's very late but I'll have a go.
"Oltre a lui quasi fatta per il capitano viola Fornasier classe 1993 al Man Utd"
That means kind of "on top of him [Massacci] there's also almost the captain of the Fiorentina 93 born team, Fornasier." I think i.e. almost a done deal.
Why the feck am I awake?
[which we played in I think...]

Fornicacio and Masocismo have both signed.
We're also apparently after Sadismo and Cunnilinguini.

Any chance we might sign Fellaccio as well? Might be able to do a job for us.
I've heard Fellaccio is off to Chelsea because he has the same agent as Ashley Cole.
Fornasier will sign in around 10 days apparently (his 16th birthday, Aug 22nd).
That sucks. What about this Portuguese kid I've been hearing about, Rimaldão?
Why is it everytime we sign a young player I have to read how his former club are going to report us to FIFA or UEFA but you never hear these stories about Arsenal who have been raping clubs of their young players for years only for the press to call wenger a genius.
To be fair, a lot of those clubs did complain - Flamini in particular caused a huge stink when he signed for Arsenal.
Whats the odds this lad is the next controversy
Not very high as the Italians can't have the kind of "pre-contracts" for minors that the French clubs have.
Not even if they have represented their country at youth levels? In France they can right?
Playing for your country has nothing to do with having a professional contract with a club though
I think he's referring to one of the the pre-contracts one of the French lads supposedly signed.
Haha, you should try and predict the lottery numbers tomorrow and see if you can out guess Derren Brown
Manchester United facing more controversy over signing teenage defender Fornasier | Manchester United - Times Online
So basically FIFA are trying to outlaw transfers to England.
The can complain to FIFA if they want, but unlike the French clubs they have no contracts or pre-contracts to point to. Chelsea were judged on having induced a player to break a contract, not on any vague notion of "child trafficing".
why would fifa even accept such complaints ..
they should ask the italian FA to change the rules
an unattached player moves to a club .. where is the controversy

How many young players have we bought then? Seems like a lot, and now, every former club tries to get more money
says in the article that Fornasier played for us in the Milk Cup, i don't remember him at all. Did he actually play for us?
feck off all those small-time cnuts crying foul and complain to the fifa, they have no case at all.
No, he didn´t.
Yea that is exactly what I was talking about. Rennes said that Helan had signed a pre-contract because he had appeared for France's youth teams and thus was eligible to sign a pre-contract which he did. Thus Man city in their opinion made Helan break that pre-contract to sign for them..
Hmmm.. He wasn't there in all the H/L's I saw..
The English inquisition had started
No he didn't play. He was just attending with the official United party, getting a feel for his new club and settling in, the other Italian lad we signed was there too. As far as I know so was Paul Pogba.
Don't think French kids need to appear for youth teams in order to be eligible to sign a pre-contract (as far as I know Pogba signed his before he had every appeared for French youth teams).
Think the issue is that it's FFA policy not to select those who 'break' pre-contracts for the national youth teams.
...and Michele Fornasier says, look how I care...
...and his italian friend joins in and completly agree...
Pics are from Milk-cup this summer...
Definitely looks like two boys that is been treaten badly and is a victim of child slavery...

They had Dave Bushell on Inside United and he was saying he'd just visited the two new Italians at their digs and said they seemed really happy and had settled in really well, an example for the other youngsters living away from home.
Manchester United are set to complete the signing of Fiorentina teenager Michele Fornasier.
The Telegraph says United look set to escape a Fifa investigation into their attempted recruitment of Italian teenager Fornasier following Fiorentina's failure to supply sufficient evidence to support their complaint.
It is understood that Fornasier was not tied to a binding contract at Fiorentina and Fifa has now confirmed that, barring further correspondence from the Serie A club, it has found no grounds on which to base an investigation.
A Fifa spokesman said: "We can confirm that we were contacted by Fiorentina with regard to the potential transfer of the player, Michele Fornasier, to Manchester United.
"However, no formal investigation has been opened since the documentation currently in our possession, from a purely formal point of view, is not apt to sustain such action."

Imagine how funny it will be if City are found guilty of poaching Helen - Chelsea are banned - and United get away without any punishment...
