I saw a bit of him during the under 21 euros last year. Thought it was worth Moyes looking at him. Seems like another Blind however.If Illarramendi is going to be sold should we try getting him?

No as Spain are in the EEA (european economic area)Would he have work permit problem if PL teams wanting to buy him?
Mainly a passer that has improved his all round game after being asked to play as 1 of 2 deep CMs. Also has a good longshotReporting that Arsenal has 'won the race' to sign this kid. Not that I believe it for a second, especially if Real are truly keen on signing him.
What's his style of play? One of the articles claimed he was the 'new Kaka,' which seems preposterous if he's a DM like claimed in here....?
He's already in spain? Probably my mistake for just reading the first and last few posts in this thread.No as Spain are in the EEA (european economic area)
I like the part at 1:23 where he stops the guy with the flashy stepoversLittle muppet video update.
DisgustingReal Madrid continue to treat their players like shit, yet players keep wanting to join them.
Lucas Silva will go there, only to be fringe player for two years, then he'll be off.
You'd think they'd learn, but I guess for Latin players, their dream is to play for Madrid. Having said that, from what I hear, he's a deep lying playmaker, which I personally don't feel should be our priority anyway, if we are to get a midfielder January/Summer. We need another box to box midfielder, in my opinion.Disgusting
We're being strongly linked with Christoph Kramer. Isn't he deep lying playmaker too? As for Real Madrid, we'll never beat them to serious transfer targets. Not in this generation anyway Im afraid.You'd think they'd learn, but I guess for Latin players, their dream is to play for Madrid.

I think we could do with a deep lying player to play next to blind/carrck with Herrera playing box 2 box and Di Maria playing further forward.You'd think they'd learn, but I guess for Latin players, their dream is to play for Madrid.

It seems that Van Gaal likes to play with one holding midfielder, whether we're playing a 4141, 433, 442 (diamond) or a 352, therefore, I feel Carrick and Blind, with Fletcher as back up, is enough at the moment.I think we could do with a deep lying player to play next to blind/carrck with Herrera playing box 2 box and Di Maria playing further forward.
He has actually never had the chance to play with 2 Carrick and Blind never been fit at the same time and Fletch isn't good enough, so who actually knows.From the very little I saw of him in the world cup, he seemed more like a box to box midfielder to me.

I think next season, we'll most likely see a 433 with one holder and two box to box midfielders.
I'm not basing it on just Van Gaal's reign as United manager, though. Throughout his Career, he's very rarely, if at all, played with two holding midfielders, unless he's trying to see out a game.He has actually never had the chance to play with 2 Carrick and Blind never been fit at the same time and Fletch isn't good enough, so who actually knows.
This is something that has been bothering me lately.From the bit I've seen he looks very promising and at 21 should be ready to make the move, we don't seem to be getting in on the ground floor anymore.
I think our policy with these younger ones is to let them sign for Porto or someone for £6m then bid £30m for them a year later. Y'know, once they've gained all that experience from the 17 times they play for them.From the bit I've seen he looks very promising and at 21 should be ready to make the move, we don't seem to be getting in on the ground floor anymore.
Especially when our only real CM prospect in the youth team is turning down a new contract.This is something that has been bothering me lately.
Sad but true, I don't know why we aren't buying South American prospectss on the cheap and stashing them in Portugal or Holland for a couple of seasons while they develop, instead of getting extorted once they develop.I think our policy with these younger ones is to let them sign for Porto or someone for £6m then bid £30m for them a year later.

Dont be silly, you only buy attacking mids.Damn, I thought we were after him... Having said that, no one refuses Real Madrid. They're like the Godfather.
I saw him play against Shalke and thought that he looked sub standard at that level and for that team. A Kleberson at United type performance. Early days of course.Maybe move this to the football section?
I think he's made a solid start to his Real Madrid career with his first 2 starts in the last week. From the videos of him at Cruziero I'd say he is playing cautiously and within himself but that makes sense given he doesn't want any mistakes when Ancelotti is giving him a shot.
He's strong on the ball, covers the ground well, has good discipline and looks a good athlete, I think he'll be a success there.
He is not good enough for Madrid and even Olympique tried to finish the loan in january.How's this guy doing @carvajal ?
Aye, I recall when Madrid signed him there were actually quite a few big clubs after him. We were strongly linked with him as well.He is not good enough for Madrid and even Olympique tried to finish the loan in january.
As wrote some days ago that he could be loaned to Sampdoria or Porto
He looked very good in his YouTube videos. I thought he would be good enough but apparently not. Like most Brazil kids who made moves.He is not good enough for Madrid and even Olympique tried to finish the loan in january.
