Really, the amount of 16 year olds that make it to the top compared to the ones that don't is significant, maybe not non league, but 45m on a 16 year old is purely a gamble.Not really.

You need to take risks to stay on top.Really, the amount of 16 year olds that make it to the top compared to the ones that don't is significant, maybe not non league, but 45m on a 16 year old is purely a gamble.
There are risks and then there are gambles, I'd rather this kid play a few first team games and be worth as much as Mbappe than see United pay 45m for a kid that hasn't played a dozen first team games.You need to take risks to stay on top.
The pressure to succeed is always going to be high.There are risks and then there are gambles, I'd rather this kid play a few first team games and be worth as much as Mbappe than see United pay 45m for a kid that hasn't played a dozen first team games.
This could ruin this kids life, dramatic maybe, but the pressure to succeed in this kid is going to be immense.
Yes, which is why so few do, and to put that pressure to be the next Neymar on the shoulders of a 16 year old is crazy, I hope his head can handle it.The pressure to succeed is always going to be high.
So? There are dozens of players who boast similar records who haven't/won't move for that much in their entire careers.19 goals for Brazil's u-17
Are you a professional devil's advocate in real life?You need to take risks to stay on top.
Good to see young players have learnt a thing or two from Odegaard's career.
Man players have short careers, one injury, one change of heart and you dont move. Take the money and runGood to see young players have learnt a thing or two from Odegaard's career.
Fecking crackers, surely this kind of stupidity can't keep going.He's had one more first team game than Gomes and is moving for 38 million
Or Marcelo's (19), Higuain's (19), Ramos' (19), Benzema's (21), Isco's (21), Varane's (18), Casemiro's (21), Asensio's (18), Ozil's (21).Good to see young players have learnt a thing or two from Odegaard's career.
Did they all come to your club at the age of 16 or are the numbers of the brackers indications that they all came couple of years later?Or Marcelo's (19), Higuain's (19), Ramos' (19), Benzema's (21), Isco's (21), Varane's (18), Casemiro's (21), Asensio's (18), Ozil's (21).
I swear people have no clue.
Vinicius Jr will not be joining the club until 18.Did they all come to your club at the age of 16 or are the numbers of the brackers indications that they all came couple of years later?
It seems even dumber then because he's got no clue about how their squad will look like in two years then. Could have even less of a chance to play for them.Vinicius Jr will not be joining the club until 18.
Vinicius would be going there when he's 18 unless he tears shit up in Brazil and Real decide they want him sooner.Did they all come to your club at the age of 16 or are the numbers of the brackers indications that they all came couple of years later?
He can not join until 18 because of FIFA rules.Vinicius would be going there when he's 18 unless he tears shit up in Brazil and Real decide they want him sooner.
Oh yeah, wonderful deal, 45 million for a lad who made his debut a week ago, everyone will be patting you on the back for months for this great deal. What a steal.30me plus 15me in variables as confirmed is a good deal when every major club in Europe was after him and willing to pay that fee as well.
Oh I know. Meant to add in 2019. He can join as early as 2018 after he's 18 if both parties agree.He can not join until 18 because of FIFA rules.
Yeah my bad I just saw he is not joining until 2019.Oh I know. Meant to add in 2019. He can join as early as 2018 after he's 18 if both parties agree.
only seen him at the U17 south american earlier this year, and he was great. The best player of the tournament that Brazil won easily.Is he that good?
Marcelo went to Real after 30 first team matches in Brazil. Higuain after 41 matches in Argentina.Also, haven't all those players mentioned played in some more serious leagues prior to coming to RM?
Other than Marcelo, Casemiro and Higuain.. and even those had a bunch of appearances for the first team in their countries.Also, haven't all those players mentioned played in some more serious leagues prior to coming to RM?
Varane had 6 months of pro football when we signed him hahaOther than Marcelo, Casemiro and Higuain.. and even those had a bunch of appearances for the first team in their countries.
He won't be joining till his 18 or 19Did they all come to your club at the age of 16 or are the numbers of the brackers indications that they all came couple of years later?
Why do people keep talking about a video with all touchs of some particular game?
Lets say: how good was Neymar vs Juventus in the CL???? Pathetic, right?
Its not a highight, its the video of a specific game. I think was the debut in the South American U-17.
This is why the english clubs dont take the best South American talents.
You guys have a serious dificulty to realize who are the best players.
Some qualities even average players can learn.
But the talent you have it or not.
Its not hard to teach a highly talented kid to be less caotic.
Yes, hes not Neymar level at all, he's FAR SUPERIOR at the same age.
And its not hard to figure out it these days.
All those games with a 16/17 years old Neymar are there to watch in YT. Only need to watch Vinicius Junior in the same competitions/same age and take your conclusions.
And he's a goal scorer, more than Neymar was in that time.
Probably will be a 9 in the professional level.
And in that time he could have a serious injury, get addicted to crack, join a street gang, or maybe just not develop as well as hoped. It's an insane deal. It might work out, who knows, but it's a ludicrous amount of money for a player who's had 1 competitive first team match. There are so many variables in play the risk far, far outways the reward.He won't be joining till his 18 or 19
Some of us could see his ability back then. I thought Neymar was going to be a superstar when he first appeared, all the basic building blocks were there to see.I remember a lot of people calling Neymar overrated and the new Robinho when he first came on to the scene. "He only looks good on YouTube." So, I'm surprised when I hear someone says Neymar was a phenomenon back then because I remembered very few opinions like that back then.
