Greatness Sign Inter's Youth!

F.C. Greatness have made there second sign this season with manager Darren Calvert having a close relationship with Inter Milan Chairman Massimo Moratti by bringin in 17 youth Marko Arnautovic for F.C Twente on a perminant basis.

Arnautovic scored 22 goals in 24 Games for the Under-16 FC Twente in the 2009–10 season, helping them win the youth championship. He then played for Jong FC Twente between 2007 and 2009, appearing in 32 games and scoring 27 goals.

He made his debut in the professional football squad of FC Twente last season as a substitute for Kennedy Bakircioglü against PSV Eindhoven in April. In July 2010 he extended his contract with Twente despite interest from Dutch giants Feyenoord.

On August 4, 2010, it was said that Arnautovic was on the verge of a move to Italian giants Internazionale. The deal had been largely held up due to a stress fracture in Arnautovic's right foot, leading to a re-negotiation of the deal between the clubs. On 6 August it was announced by Twente that the details for the loan had been finalised, Arnautovic would join Inter on loan for the season. The deal was said to become permanent if he was to play a set number of matches. If the deal does not become permanent the player will return to Twente on a pre-agreed contract of two years, with an option to extend the contract for a third year. He made his unofficial debut for Inter Milan in a friendly game 1–0 away victory against Chievo.


Arnautovic played his first match for the Austria national senior team on 11 October 2009 against the Faroe Islands.

Arnautovic spoke in press conferance:
"It is a dream come true to play for this club.................... I play for Inter over the summer and gained valuable experinece, but oppertunties play during the season would happen and so when I was told that F.C. Greatness were interested in me and i'm in there plans for the future I was excited with what he had to say!.................. Just wonna say thank to Twente and an awesome season with them and for Moratti for letting me come to milan and cutting my loan period so I can come here!"
