Yeah I just meant in terms of coming to Europe from the Uruguayan league. I think in an ideal world Pellistri would come into the first team squad sparingly and would feature a bit more in the U23's, more similar to Valverde's path, but with the situation we're in at the minute I think he'll be in the first team squad from the get go.

I take it 99% of people have never heard or seen him play, for the 1%, how is he different from Dan James and what will he bring to the team?
Off topic but we need bldy one transfer thread on the last day to keep up with everything. It would be so much fun!
Manucho was good though.
I've watched 5 'versus compilations' and he's much more of a dribbler to James and seems to be able to handle the ball and turn very quickly. Exciting.
Versus compilation are good to measure a player, at least basic techniques. How is the pressing and physicality of that league. Was he able to hold up the ball in tight spaces?
Sorry don't have time right now to watch those videos. Appreciate if you can clarify. Thanks in advance.
He doesnt rely only on his pace, think that is the big one compared to James. Shit finishing, but he can run with the ball
Do we have anybody in our squad that could help him settle? Considering his age and culture shock, I imagine he would need someone to help him
Cavani
Cavani mate
He should get along with the argentinians (if any is left) culture wise.
Apparently he knows some English anyway, that should help.

We've got a load of Spanish speaking youngsters (as well as older players)so I imagine he'll be ok.

Who the Facundo is Pellistri?

Get well soon.
Hope he pulls through.
He can dribble and has good close control of the ball. That’s a very big difference
Getting linked to United, look we have done to him
Well here's hoping he's good. It's all we have on the wings now. Absolute shit show.
Yeah all we can say and feel so sorry for him not having a proper RW to be backup to due to the shitshow upstairs.
Not his biggest fan, far from it, but would be OK with him surviving.
Thoughts and prayers.
Raw with not must end product, and needs a broader view of the game around him. A rabbit with Duracell batteries will keep going.. no point without an aim
Genuinely have no idea who this kid is or how good he is, but I don't care anymore. Just want us to sign whoever. Hope he turns out to be class.
Rojo, Bailly, De Gea, Romero, Mata, Pogba, Andreas (RIP), Cavani all speak Spanish, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of Bruno, Telles and Fred can either.
Surely an 18 year old from Uruguay can't be considered one for the 1st team straight away? Surely he's going into the under 23's?
So in other words no PROPER RW til at least January if Traore gets his work permit of course
First team according to the reliable reporters who cover us.
This lad is clearly not going to be playing in the first time any time soon. He looks a prospect. That's about it. I doubt we will even see him in the first team this season.
I lol'd.
Shambles we didn't get either Sancho or Dembele so pushing this kid into the first team squad
Anyone signed him on FM? Wonder kid? Serious question.
Depends word is he’s the second coming of George Best. If you’re good enough you’re old enough.
So Mason and the deadwood backups is all we are left with on the RW,god that is depressing to say the least
This kid is raw as hell by the looks of it. Never played outside of S America. And you want to chuck him into this mess?
He won't even be above Dan James for this season pal. Let's just hope he's a real gem who will be in contention next season.
Looks like as if he's staged a fake medical in his room.
