Should we not have a clip of him dribbling, passing, and shooting. Looks like a good striker from that clip. The player who made crossed the ball looks good.Tweet

We’ve had decent success ratio with players from Sporting.
Ole needs the likes of Grealish, Upamecano, Sancho + possibly Mbappe and Neymar to succeed. Not these sort of signings. We are setting him to fail.
AgreedNo idea who he is but I love how pro active and open minded we are when it comes to signing young players.
Ole probably won't be here by the time this Figo guy makes the first team. That's the reality of modern football.Ole needs the likes of Grealish, Upamecano, Sancho + possibly Mbappe and Neymar to succeed. Not these sort of signings. We are setting him to fail.
Hmm... but no, I am sure Ole is doing a great job with Greenwood and Williams so no?Ole needs the likes of Grealish, Upamecano, Sancho + possibly Mbappe and Neymar to succeed. Not these sort of signings. We are setting him to fail.
Not at all imo.Does this deal make much sense for Sporting?
I think it’s saying we’ve offered £14m for him right now, but also we’ve asked for a first refusal, should Sporting ever sell.I have a hard time believing this “deal” for a couple of reasons.
Besides the fact the lad just signed his first professional contract he is no where near getting to the first team yet.
Also that report talks about s “14M” offer on him.
Sporting allegedly already got a “15M” offer from atlético which was rejected so why would they take less?
Furthermore why agree on a “14M” fee being decided before he has even kicked a ball for the first team. So your telling me if he truly is the “new figo” and is setting the league a light Sporting will settle for 14M when they can get much more?
I think the only truth to the report is United is probably scouting him as are other clubs but I don’t believe any “fee” is in place should United want to get him.
Oh I probably read that wrong then. I understood it as they have the option of first refusal with offer being 14M.I think it’s saying we’ve offered £14m for him right now, but also we’ve asked for a first refusal, should Sporting ever sell.
It's saying we've agreed a first refusal deal for £14mI think it’s saying we’ve offered £14m for him right now, but also we’ve asked for a first refusal, should Sporting ever sell.
Id imagine it would be negotiated upwards. Imagine we set it at 25m or something stupid for a kid, it leaves us wide open for some Dortmund shit.It's saying we've agreed a first refusal deal for £14m

which is almost certainly horse-shit isn't it?
That how I interpreted it which is why I thought it’s absolute bullocks.It's saying we've agreed a first refusal deal for £14m

I would hope the clube have good enough relations for some deal like this to be in place.Id imagine it would be negotiated upwards. Imagine we set it at 25m or something stupid for a kid, it leaves us wide open for some Dortmund shit.
There should be a lot o f good faith between the clubs by now
Absolutely none as far as I can see unless we’ve paid them for first dibs.Does this deal make much sense for Sporting?
Ca$h I assume, maybe there will be bonuses payments and after the Bruno deal, possibly Sporting is more confident in bumping up higher the prices and United agreeing when the time comes.Does this deal make much sense for Sporting?
Nicely done.This deal tells you why we are where we are at the moment. We should be focusing on getting the new Messi, instead we are getting the new Figo. Shambles.
Ole needs the likes of Grealish, Upamecano, Sancho + possibly Mbappe and Neymar to succeed. Not these sort of signings. We are setting him to fail.
That’s not what first refusal means I’m afraid.Can someone explain this please
We have agreed first refusal for 14M, this means if some other club make an offer with 14M then we should match it ?
What if we dont want to match that 14M ? do we still need to pay 14M to his parent club?
what if other club make an offer of 25M in future and we dont want to sign him? still we need to pay 14M to his parent club?
On a side note. When Sir Bobby played in a Figo testimonial, Sir Bobby was running the show in midfield. Figo asked SAF how old he was. SAF replied 60. Figo then remarked that he must have been some player when he was young.Great. Also, Figo, what a player he was.
The club took that thread that one guy made about 'signing the next Messi' very seriously, and have been doing their best ever sinceBrilliant diving header for that goal, the Club now seems to be more proactive than ever in signing the next big thing.
I was hoping for the new Eusebio.I'm a bit disappointed. I though we were looking for the 'new Messi'
At United it means we're considering sending out a memo to possibly warm up the fax in preparation for a bid we may wish to make at some point once, it's been considered and agreed by all parties to be slightly below the selling clubs minimum sale value.That’s not what first refusal means I’m afraid.
First refusal means we have the privilege of having him first at that price before he’s offered to others if we decide not to take up the offer
