Youth stars “on verge of Italy move”

June 25, 2008

Manchester United youngster Conor McCormack and former Liverpool trainee Michael Collins are both on the verge of a move to Italian Serie B side Triestina, according to a Wednesday newspaper report.



Eighteen-year-old Dundalk lad McCormack has been on the books of United for the past two years.

Collins is a 17-year-old Dubliner who recently parted company with Liverpool.

A report in Wednesday’s Irish Daily Star claims that the pair are “putting the finishing touches” to contracts this week after impressing in a trial at Triestina in May.

Triestina is most famous as the club where Cesare Maldini, former Italy player and manager and the father of the legendary Paolo, started his career in the 1950s.

How the feck did these two end up over there? Although it's not as confusing as how Ronnie O'Brien ended up at Juventus,

He was ace with FC Dallas for a few seasons. One of the best crossers of the ball the MLS has ever seen. Not sure where he's at today but it's somewhere in the MLS.

Too bad, i had some hopes for McCormack he looked a decent midfielder last year.

 

[samabachan]

Good on him. I think more British footballers and coaches should spend time abroad.

Just read: McCormack's back in Ireland, with Shamrock Rovers.

What do you mean?

Triestina are one of the more wealthy clubs in Serie B (although they have issues getting fans through the turnstiles) - they wouldn't fool around with his wages.

 

[CLK_FPC]

See the piece above dude

 

[x42bn6]

His wages are an APEP issue, though, not Triestina.

'I was at Triestina on a oneyear contract but they changed three managers when I was there. To be honest, I wasn't getting paid. I think I only wages for two months while I was there. In the end, I just packed my bags and walked away."

Think he means Triestina

 

[x42bn6]

I think I see the problem...
