Fallen Muppet. Lest we never forget
Surprised there is no existing thread. Plenty of noise today about this guy.
Indeed, I look forward to more of these types of deals.Fits the profile of what Ashworth would have us be doing. Hopefully it comes off at that price as well. It strikes you as one where a team like Benfica or Porto would swoop in for him and then in two years, he’s like the best young centre back talent in Europe and being sold for £75m minimum and then we’re kicking ourselves wondering why we didn’t act on that at the time and instead either got some peaked marquee centre back influenced by Woodward or some left field pick influenced by whoever the manager was at time.
Hope Berrada maintained his connections in Argentina after he bought Alvarez and Echeverri for city

Am absolutely and adamantly against any alliterations at all! Amen.Oh great another alliteration thread to look forward to.
It’s all great finding these talents but we should be first putting our money to immediately improving our first team squad. Not someone who we will loan out. These sort of deals can come in when we have our first team sorted.

I mean you’re getting a pretty penny for your troubles. The game is the game, unfortunately.Boca fan here, he just played a couple of first team games. He was incredible in youngsters and has an aura of a trully remarkable player.
But I do not like all this fuzz around him, it's not sane, he has to develope in time and at least have one season under his belt.
PD:also as a Boca fan I trully hate this constant bleeding and if now we can't even keep players with two matches in primera, it totally sucks.

First of all these sort of talent can really surprise you. Think of when we bought that 23 year old striker from Molde, that 27 year old CB from Besiktas and the 'bargain of the century' GK from Brondby. Secondly in my opinion United's main priority is to have a season were we don't run out of LBs, strikers etc. There's too much deadwood and too many players whom while good in theory tend to feck off in the treatment room never to return. That will of course stretch the budget to the limit which means we will be forced to rely on cheap punts and free transfers.That's not the end of the world either. Half of Inter's team is built like that and they reached the CL finals

Because they got a piss easy run to the finals, and it's sustainable domestically when you already have one of the best squads in Serie A.
You aren't getting anywhere in the PL, if you only target free transfers and unknown teenagers for peanuts.

I agree that you can't rely solely on it but there is quite some good talent available that way. Also note that if Inter had to play against United then we'll probably lose
Our transfer policy has to be a mixture of buying hidden gems for reasonable prices, both teenage talents (potentially Anselimino, Zambrano, Pafundi, etc.) or older players, who are ready to contribute from day one (your examples of Johnsen, Schmeichel, Ole fall into this category), and sometimes breaking the bank for exceptional young talents, or older, already established top players
The type of signing we miss out on.
We have terrible luck with south Americans id steer clear
