We haven't bought a promising South American since Javier Hernandez (Pellestri doesn't count he never plays). Hope we do they are like box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get.
Central America
Hernandez is Mexican, pretty sure that's north American.
North America.Central America
Mexico is part of North America.Central America
What is that abs what countries are apart of it.Central America
I stand corrected North America it is, so only Pellestri then.

ADM, Romero, Rojo, Falcao, Fred, Sanchez, Telles, and Cavani are South Americans the club signed (post SAF era), but they played in Europe for many years before coming to United.Has ADM being erased from our collective fans conscious?
Are you joking? I've seen him mentioned more in the last month than I have in the last 3 years. Look in the De Jong thread!Has ADM being erased from our collective fans conscious?
I’m confused, is Enzo supposed to have come in and displaced McFred and made us better? We need better players than this, in a few years he may be at that level, we can then pay top dollar for him, I don’t mind that. We can’t sign everyone. Secondly are we going to cry each time another team signs a CM and say “oh we should have signed him”?Knew it. Just not the kind of signing we make.
We mostly pay premium for well known players for the first team.
I would imagine so considering we have done exactly that over every transfer completed in the last 3 years.I’m confused, is Enzo supposed to have come in and displaced McFred and made us better?

No. I just know the link was bullshit.I’m confused, is Enzo supposed to have come in and displaced McFred and made us better?

Yeah, Moises Caicedo another one we were strongly linked to before letting him go to Brighton for peanuts and he ended up dominating our midfield today.Just the sort of smart signing we'll never do. Watch him go to Atletico in a couple of seasons.
Our transfer policy is extremely limited in scope; if they aren't already established 'name brands' we turn our noses up and turn heel.Yeah, Moises Caicedo another one we were strongly linked to before letting him go to Brighton for peanuts and he ended up dominating our midfield today.
Que?Suprised to see Diogo Costa worth that much money when he's like 40 already.
Birmingham could have had him as well. They signed his teammate Tarantini. He told them about him, but they couldnt afford 2.Oh and the one with the best story of them all - Alex Sabella. For those who haven't heard this story. After the success with Ricky Villa and Ossie Ardilles, Sheffield United also wanted to tap into the south American market. So they signed 23 year old Alex Sabella, but they had their sights on yet another talented Argentinian. A 17 year old midfielder who Boca Juniors wanted £150.000 for. For some reason it didnt happen - there are 2 unofficial explanations why. The first is that the agent wanted a lot of extra money which caused the overall fee to be too much - the second was that it was the military dictatorship that insisted on an extra £150.000 in bribes to allow the player to leave the country. That players name was Diego Armando Maradona.
He can give Casemiro a break tooOur no.8 options are pretty bad. McT, Fred and VDB are crap, so we do need to find a good partner for Casemiro and this guy looks like a great option.
Heavily yes. I confess to only watchin gyoutube videos of him then, but read a lot about him and what pundits and managers in Argentina were saying about him and he was massively rated. £10m we could have got him for.Weren't we linked with him during the summer before his move?
