That's annoying. I wasn't aware there was animosity over the transfer.He's been in the squad for every Atalanta game prior to the transfer but Atalanta have now dropped him from the squad.

Could just be a one off but let's see.That's annoying. I wasn't aware there was animosity over the transfer.
I mean, is that really big news? He has played a total of 7 minutes this season.He's been in the squad for every Atalanta game prior to the transfer but Atalanta have now dropped him from the squad.
Thankfully it's only 2 and a half months before he's here (and with the November int'l break, it'll be more like 2 months), so it shouldn't cost him too much in terms of momentum and sharpness.as expected. Shame. Seems somewhat petty.
Not really, no.I mean, is that really big news? He has played a total of 7 minutes this season.
So it means feck all really. Anyhoo, what did we expect when signing a kid who has barely ever played for them and has to spend a few months at the club knowing he's leaving soon.Not really, no.
He’s only ever made the squad five times since Jan and not made a single appearance in that same time period.
I thought he is alreadya united player just waiting for work permit. Technically can Atlanta add him in their squad still? I don't remember the arrangement keeping him there on loan till Dec.He's been in the squad for every Atalanta game prior to the transfer but Atalanta have now dropped him from the squad.
So he’s a much longer term project? was under the impression he had a lot more experience but it seems to be all at youth level so far.I mean, is that really big news? He has played a total of 7 minutes this season.
This is a good question that I can’t answer. I didn’t think we’d ever see him playing for Atalanta again after he ‘signed’ for us but he’s only played 24 minutes of first team football in his career so not sure what people were expecting from him.I thought he is alreadya united player just waiting for work permit. Technically can Atlanta add him in their squad still? I don't remember the arrangement keeping him there on loan till Dec.
I think the transfer isn't complete, just the two clubs have come to an agreement for a future transferI thought he is alreadya united player just waiting for work permit. Technically can Atlanta add him in their squad still? I don't remember the arrangement keeping him there on loan till Dec.
I doubt that is the case. If united have to file papers for his work permit then they have to show he is their employee (player). If he is expected to arrive in Jan meaning we already have signed him. If we sign him in Jan then his arrival will be delayed by another couple of months.I think the transfer isn't complete, just the two clubs have come to an agreement for a future transfer
If he's not going to play why isn't he here already?I have no worries, Jan is only 2 months away and the club probably already have a personal training plan in place for him. Nobody expects him to feature for Atalanta after sealing the transfer anyway.
Work permit issues.If he's not going to play why isn't he here already?
OK good. I have high hopes for this guy.Work permit issues.
Priti Patel.If he's not going to play why isn't he here already?
Ha haPriti Patel.
£10 says he isn't.£10 says he's just another decent kiddo we won't see much of in our first team. I'm still waiting for Chongy to become ready for our first team..
You don't pay nearly £20m for "another decent kiddo".£10 says he's just another decent kiddo we won't see much of in our first team. I'm still waiting for Chongy to become ready for our first team..
Full squad will be on the bench due to the increased squad sizeJust noticed he’s on the bench tonight against Ajax.
Can rarely tell how they'll work out, and I'm not saying he's a cert by any means, but watch again and pay close attention to his first touch and close control. He's light years beyond El Chongy.£10 says he's just another decent kiddo we won't see much of in our first team. I'm still waiting for Chongy to become ready for our first team..
£10 he plays more for us than Chong£10 says he's just another decent kiddo we won't see much of in our first team. I'm still waiting for Chongy to become ready for our first team..
Well that won't be hard..£10 he plays more for us than Chong
Take a punt on a kid, and hope we can develop him into a world beater is less risky than a £120m fee on a certain successful player. If he doesn't do well then we can always use him for a few subs and we can always get our money back out of his fee if we sell him on.You don't pay nearly £20m for "another decent kiddo".
If he becomes the best player in the world you will look very silly.Take a punt on a kid, and hope we can develop him into a world beater is less risky than a £120m fee on a certain successful player. If he doesn't do well then we can always use him for a few subs and we can always get our money back out of his fee if we sell him on.
Pointless transfer imo. But at least we won't loose money on him.

Peanuts compared to most transfer fees these days.Debatable.
I also dont believe we would take a punt at that level, £20m is a huge amount of money.
Signing one of the most highly-regarded players of his age group is pointless?

Wont come on.On the bench against the dippers
If he’s a United employee, why on earth would United let him train and be named in squads for Atalanta?I doubt that is the case. If united have to file papers for his work permit then they have to show he is their employee (player). If he is expected to arrive in Jan meaning we already have signed him. If we sign him in Jan then his arrival will be delayed by another couple of months.

Im pretty certain, albeit with no evidence to back it up, that the deal has not been 100% ratified yet.
Thought that was very clear and well understood when it was announced. Clearly not.https://www.manutd.com/en/news/deta...ign=ManUtd&utm_medium=post&utm_source=twitter
There is your evidence. A deal has been agreed for a future transfer pending medical and work permit. He hasn’t done a medical that I recall and he doesn’t have a work permit so the deal isn’t fully complete.
