It's football manager DT, it will have been taken in future years in the game.
I see, I don't play Football Manager, so didn't know. :lol: I thought it was from his old club page. I thought we'd bought one of those kids whose age is don't know.

I totally missed the COC draw.
Newacstle isnt the easiest.. Was hoping for something easy enough to ease Fletch in..
I hope we go a long way... Too many players I want to watch play.

I know he is going to be a U21 player but can he still qualify for the youth cup this season? We have a lot of young attacking talent in the team with Adnan Januzaj, Pereira and Daelhi and even like the looks of Nick Barmby having a quality striker to come into them matches may really help them go all the way and it may not be a bad thing to have him playing matches with them right away is a couple of them progress to first team together although i'm sure a couple that I've mentioned will get quite a bit of game time for the U21 team.
Don't hold me to this, but I think I heard somewhere that Nick Barmby wasn't going to be joining our u21 squad this year. I'm not too sure why, but I've heard rumours he's starting up a five a side team with your spelling, grammar and punctuation.

It's against Northern Ireland u-20s in the Milk cup, so the level is slightly higher than what you'd typically find in your local park.

Not the best video ever. Decent goals, but we can all bag a few at our local park!

I notice he's been given the no. 21 shirt

At first glance he seems similar to Hernandez so it'll be interesting how much pitch time he's given, certainly wouldnt want Hernandez getting less !!
This kid scored 14 goals in 9 games for Chile's U20's. On his first season in senior football at age 17-18 he scored 11 in 17 for Universidad de Chile, a team that reached the semi finals of the Copa Libertadores in 2012, losing to Neymar's Santos. He has very good pedigree so far.

Thankfully he looks better than Jav on the ball and can move quite well with it at his feet. He does like to play of the shoulder though, but to me he looks more akin to Higuain than Hernandez.

They lost to Boca, actually. But he was very impressive indeed. Himself and Junior Fernandes were replacing Eduardo Vargas and Castro (two of the three forwards La U used), and it's safe to say Henríquez was almost the direct Vargas' replacement himself (let's remember La U used quite a mobile atticking system, similar to Bielsa's), and he did quite well for a kid his age.

Struggled in the first half against the French. Lost pretty much every duel against Varane and some other huge center half, got booked for a late challenge. Doubt I'll bother with the second half as my stream's getting worse by the minute.

I haven't seen him, but needs to bulk up.

The Chilean midfielders were struggling to get the ball to the forwards in comfortable positions at least in what I saw of the second half. Didn't catch the first one.

Amazing you've not seen him but yet he still needs to bulk up thus meaning that you have seen him.

He's 18 ffs you don't start bulking people up until your certain the player has reached their maximum height potential and all of their growth spurts are finished.

Let's get the steroids into the under twelves whilst we are at it :rolleyes:

No offense to you personaly, but why does everybody keep saying that about every foreign player? There are quite a few cases where bulking up did more damage than it did good. I'm not saying that's necessarily the case for Henriquez, but seriously, it's like you can't play football if you aren't a beast of a physical speciment.

Especially as it is the most overused joke on the CAF!
Agreed, haven't seen him either but unless he can play in a two man midfield and become a replacement for Mike Phelan I'm not interested.

:houllier: He's a striker and....Phelan? The kid's 18, I doubt he's thinking about a coaching career at this stage :lol:

This place is mental!

Just made his first appearance for the u21s. Came on for 20 minutes. Newcastle had a lot of possession at the end so he didn't get many touches but he looked sharp and had a good attempt with a header tipped over the bar then scored an easy header at the end. Exciting signing and he's only 18.

Just read some responses to my previous post above. LOL!

Some good movement in the box, seems pretty quick. Would be nice to see him playing a full game.
