It's the United way in the last decade.
They both look really special.
I thought most of the posts here are genuinely excited by this signing? Some were even peeved that he could only arrive here in January to play. The other signing Pellistri is more of a doubt to be honest
I think Pellistri is rightfully one people should be more sceptical about. We've barely seen much of him, he's a total unknown quantity, feels more of a punt because there's just not that much for us to analyse. But I look at that as expect nothing, and if he does well its a lovely surprise.
I agree. He brings a lot of Mane at Southampton vibes to me.
His style looks more like Leroy Sane to me. Nimble winger who has deceptive pace and skips past players for fun but i could be talking trash of course as i have only seen his vids on youtube
Yeah exactly. I'm all for the club trying to find these talents just before the breakthrough and cost a fortune.
Yeah mate. 8M is a fine gamble. If he turns out a dud or can't adapt to the league, we won't lose much. We can all pretend to add to Diallo's price for an extra 8M if that happens
I'm neither one way or the other on this one as quite frankly I didn't even know he existed 3 weeks ago. But can I ask you why it should excite us? Because he's a total unknown does that mean he's exciting? He's played less than 30 mins in their first team. It's a massive call signing this lad on the basis he smashed it in the youth set up. We've had players at United who looked world beaters in the youth set up and they aren't even playing top division football anymore. The men's game is a different proposition.
Somehow I doubt it
Mouth watering prospect. Let’s hope that Laird puts his injuries behind him
Praying Laird gets over his injury issues, he could be so good
Them 2 mercenaries? Just wait 2 years and they are off to Spain. Patterns of playSomehow I doubt it
Uruguayan, 18 years old, right winger, recommended by Forlan. That’s about it mate
Similar to David Silva. Very talented.
They say he will be part of first team.
Yeah but don’t think he’ll play much. Mengi has been around or part of the first team this season but he hasn’t played one minute at all
Yeah, read all this about him being a wee bit too light weight, but on the other hand I also read he is good enough to go straight onto first team squad. Can't wait to see what he is like.
Yeah, you may be right. Maybe a cup game we will see him first.
That’s a very high compliment for a primarily right winger. Hope for the best he makes it here
He may start out wide but he seems a natural through the middle. He loves to run with the ball in that central position
Tim Vickery stated that he felt he was a bit light even for some Uruguayan games where he does get booted about. His style invites challenges. When he gets stronger we can expect more penalties
Well with the fee possibly rising to £47m that is way too good for them to turn down. Chiesa has been one of the most exciting young players in Serie A for a while and most sought after and his fee will be £50m and he is already proven in the league.....................its an absolutely huge fee for Atalanta regardless of whether he is the next Ronaldo or Messi even
I can understand the negativity about this transfer window. We expected Sancho, many like me hoped for Grealish, we desperately needed a centre back, we should have signed one of several excellent young central defensive midfielders there are about as well...................and we have signed none of the above, instead a left back and a 33yr old striker, neither of which for me we needed 10% as much as the afore mentioned positions and VDB though perhaps astute isnt an exciting signing. So I dont expect a great season still and also feel we are still after 5 signings, still a few short
Absolutely no-one has the fee as being that high.
