Francesco Stella and the value of archives

Remember this article about Francesco Stella signing with Siena? Anyway, here's a fairly old tribalfootball article, with news that Stella signed a pro-contract with Siena. I mean, it's from October 2010. Has anyone chased down or submitted a claim on the development fees? We'll keep track of this story as it develops.

Stella starring - I'm so sorry - in Siena youth set up

Word on the streets is that rather than being farmed out to the chips and mayo outfit in backstreet Belgium, Francesco Stella, the Prince of the Stepover, has been acquitting himself very well in Siena's you set up. Which is absolutely terrific news as far as I'm concerned. Scoring some goals too apparently. I nicked this photo by the way from somewhere else.

Stella to Siena

The Prince of Stepovers, Francesco Stella, has signed with Serie A side Siena - who have apparently promptly loaned to some random chips and mayonnaise outfit in Belgium's second division. Good luck to the kid, at least he entertained. By the way, he was on an amateur contract, so all we get is a slice of the development fee.
