The monkeys with keyboards (journos) did their usual add City into the mix with this kid the other day on twitter which confused me because I thought we signed him back April.

Already won European Championship with U-17 when France didn't even concede a goal till the semi final.
Sign him ASAP.
Sign him ASAP.
I'm fairly sure he was given the grand tour of Carrington back in January before the transfer collapsed at the last minute, so - given the perpetual state of confusion most journos seem to find themselves in - I wouldn't be too surprised if this is a case of 2+2=5.
Thats exactly what has happened. He was given the tour in January which was mentioned in a French article the other day and the English press are reporting it as if its new information
Apparently he's 190cm tall already. That's 6ft 2" at the age of 16. Jesus.

I don't think thats him. Valenciennes don't have adidas kits, that looks like Lyon.
Well if you can't trust the 4th image for his name on Google these days. Who can you trust?
Always preferred Upamalego......
I guess he has no youtube vids yet because of his age, but when you search for him the results are a bunch of Andy Kellet vids.
He plays for Lyon?Apparently he's 190cm tall already. That's 6ft 2" at the age of 16. Jesus.

Valenciennes in ligue 2. That can't be him. Wrong black player
The original pic came from this article too...

Not my fault guv.
Interestingly, the Google article (4th one in for his name) has now changed it's original url from that site above to redcafe. Even if it isn't the right kid, +1 for SEO image search results.

He supposedly wanted to stay in France for the rest of the season and then make a move so hopefully this time it's something solid.
Can't wait to see him and Mensah teaming up.

He's beautiful.
He looks like a young Evra
Racist
He was supposed to come in January but someone fecked up and missed the deadline, now other parties are involved so I guess that's why we haven't wrapped it up yet.
We definitely need a few frenchies coming through the ranks
I'm assuming he's very highly rated given lots of clubs have been rumoured to be after him.
he's actually mix of our Pat and Kompany, nice big forehead of his!
Its not uncommon to be six foot at 16, I used to regularly compete with the lads in my school at sports day and I think I was one of two by the age of 15 who was not a 6 footer. I still beat most of themApparently he's 190cm tall already. That's 6ft 2" at the age of 16. Jesus.

He looks nothing like Evra
He sounds like a fake name on ISS Pro
Hopefully if he arrived Fosu - Mensah can develop as a midfielder.
Yes! Who cares if he turns out to be shit, his name is fecking awesome.
His full first name is Dayotchanculle as well
That name sounds really shit in sundanese dialect. Lol
Looks like we've sealed the deal according to reports: http://metro.co.uk/2015/06/20/manch...of-valenciennes-star-dayot-upamecano-5255235/
When the Metro tell you that you have signed a top young french kid then chances are that the truth is that you have signed Osman and Luke Chadwick
Very true Ringo. Just thought i'd share that anyway man
Phillip Lamb?
Not him in the pic. Thats a Lyon kit.Its not uncommon to be six foot at 16, I used to regularly compete with the lads in my school at sports day and I think I was one of two by the age of 15 who was not a 6 footer. I still beat most of them
The deadline day was Tuesday but they got an extension to show all of their financial data
Who is the other one?
Angelo Fulgini an 18 year old right back
