His career began in 2003 with Newell's Old Boys but in 2003, when he was just 13, Boca Juniors bought him for $50,000. In Buenos Aires, Forestieri became well-known for his way of playing, which was compared with Lionel Messi's. In January 2006, at the age of 16, Genoa signed Forestieri on a five-year contract; Boca tried to keep the young player, but failed to do so. That summer he played some friendly matches with Genoa, and in one of them Torino president Urbano Cairo saw Forestieri in action and offered 500,000 for him, but Genoa refused.[3] On 8 November 2006, Forestieri made his official debut with Genoa in a lost Coppa Italia match against Empoli. Forestieri has been capped by Italy national under-17, and under-19 football team, after refusing the calling of the Argentina U-17. The young player decided to play for the Azzurri because the dream of his family was to live and work in Italy. In Football Manager '08 Fernando starts a bit quiet in the game but as the game goes on he tends to get better and better. I always buy him for my teams in FM and he is always a great player. To buy him you will need to make to separate as he is co - owned by Siena and Genoa. But he starts the game playing with Siena. You can usually pick him up for about 5M (2.5M to each team) but its worth it although you could try a lower bid.  Tactical Instructions Fernando naturally plays in AMC but he is trained to be an accomplished MC and you can also train him to play in FC. He always makes good cover as a striker for me.

I think that if you have some spare money and your looking towards the future then try to get this guy! | | | | 24-06-08, 01:27 AM | #2 (permalink) | | Blackpool FC Supporter and 19th Member on the Site Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Blackpool Posts: 1,921 Thanks: 113 Thanked 214 Times in 184 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | looks like a superb star for the future, will have to look out for him! | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to Y2Stu For This Useful Post: | | 24-06-08, 04:31 AM | #3 (permalink) | | Backup To The First Team Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: I love meself a good refridgerator Posts: 215 Thanks: 32 Thanked 22 Times in 21 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | i dont really like having this guy on the first-team, nevertheless, a very hot prospect, i'd like to put piatti, but i never put this guy. piatti is faster and more average-stated while forrestieri has more good stats and bad stats and less average stats. both have 1-year-difference | How do I is make sigs?
