Brilliant. These are the types of signings we should focus on. Young players we can mold into first teamers. Tired of selling teams taking the piss because we have no alternatives.

Won't mind breaking the bank for Sancho or someone generational, but the more youth talent we have coming through, the less we NEED to make overpriced signings in the market.
 
I speculate that this was our second choice after missing out on Jude Bellingham considering the age of the player.
 
Are we? Googling Pinyaev we had him on trial last year, does it look like he's actually coming?

Its all a bit hush hush as he isn't 18 yet, but most insiders believe there is a gentlemans agreement that he will join when he comes of age.

He has been on trial with us 3 years in a row.
 
Which position does he play in? RW or LW?
 
I can confirm in the 4 mins I’ve known about him he is absolutely world class.
 
we can't sign him until he's 18 because Russia isn't part of the EU.
Confusing because I have just recently learned from about three Caf posters that Serbis is also not in the EU. But this Filip lad is 17, and we are signing him?

yeah I'm not sure either. Stevanovic turns 18 in a month though.
 
he supposedly knows people who work at the club whatever they do.

He has a few contacts at United for sure as he's done a bunch of interviews over the years, but he seems to consider that this makes him some sort of club insider, when really the club give him no actual inside information and most of what he posts is his own speculation based on this
 
Finally looks like we will get this one over the line. It's been hours.

He turns 18 next month and it says he would go back on loan for a year so I assume, if it is true, it will be confirmed on his birthday.
 
Pity we cant just bring him straight in and get him settled. Cup games and stuff? He looks good from the one YT video :lol: . seems to favour the left but can play all across the front so hed be a rotation option for the wingers or even bruno. Good stuff.
 
12 million euros for a 17-year-old kid from Partizan?

Bit steep for a youngster that.

Sure hope his talent is worth it so he doesn't end up like our previous Partizan buys..

Everything about this deal still baffles me

well he knows more people who work at the club than me so. doesnt mean anything. all he'd probably hear is rumours. even if for some reason he knew somone who works on transfers they probably couldn't tell him anything of value till it was leak time. leak time sounds weird as feck!
