Anyone have have any thoughts on Sassulo striker Dominico Berardi? Heard lots of him but never actually seen him play a full 90 mins.
Also how's young Tielemans Anderlecht getting on?
These are genuine questions not rumours or wondering if we will sign them

I've watched Tielemans a couple of times, particularly against Arsenal in the UCL. What a player, what a talent! Still so young but plays with so much maturity. He's energetic, courageous and a very good passer of the ball. He's skilled as well. If there's a player that plays similarly, it is Ilkay Gundogan.
I've never watched Berardi but he's a 'wonderkid', he plays as a winger/striker. I hear Juventus have a buyback clause.

Berardi is a fm15 wonderkid alright. Yeah he had a co-ownership with Juventus which all had to be sorted this summer. So sasasulo were allowed sign him but Juventus do have a buy back deal. So effectively a loan.They obviously felt he wasnt ready for their first team. can't see him playing for anyone other than juve in the future.
Tielemens looks to be a great player. Technically great and as mentioned very mature for his age. Klopp has previously spoken very highly of him so he would be someone worth keepin an eye on. As a summer move could well happen.

{Ed002's Note - Berardi you are correct about - Juventus got more than €10M and an option to buy him back next summer - which means any move elsewhere would need Juventus to be bought off in addition to any transfer fee. As for Tielemans, he has attracted long-term interest from Chelsea with Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, Juventus, Napoli, Barcelona and Marseille all showing an interest in the past 9 months. Chelsea have actively been speaking with his club since January 2014 but would need to send him on loan for, I imagine, at least a year or more. Atletico spoke with Anderlecht this summer and the player liked the idea of a move to Madrid but nothing could be resolved for a move this past summer. The problem with a move to England is that he is certainly not ready to step right in to the first team at many of the more senior clubs. If he accepts that and a loan, then a move is possible.}
