“JUST IN: Manchester United are moving to sign Santos striker Marcos Leonardo (19). Arsenal and Tottenham are also interested. #MUFC [@cmdotcom]”
 
Love to see us 'move in' for some random wonderkid. Just hope we can consider, monitor the situation and prepare the bid before January.
 
I like the look of this kid. Never believe we’re actually interested though. Already quite built for 19 so he looks strong enough to handle English football. Good hold up play and a decent finish on him. Interesting prospect like.
 
This guy is similar in qualities to martial. Strong, technically gifted, links up well.
 
We have dabbled in the South American market before but rather tentatively. You wonder if now ETH is here we will be more happy to take risks, he has come from a club in Ajax, in fact a lot of Dutch clubs who love exploring this market.

Hire overmars as a consultant
 
Youtube tells me he can: -

young (19yo)
can score goals
can hold up the ball
is skillful
is a team player


So, with that, I want him
 
Looks strong, decent finisher. Plenty of those scruffy goals you want to see a #9 scoring, sliding in at the back post etc.

No doubt there's potential there at his age.
 
Makes sense to scour the South American market for youngsters now that there is a strong senior team presence from both Brazil and Argentina to help bed them at the club.
 
I never get excited over these young Brazilian strikers links, because they never materialise.
 
A proper fighter, reminds me of Carlos Tevez. Sign him up ASAP he's ready for the step up.
 
Club keep briefing there won't be business in January and also looks like Ronaldo will stay.
 
Haven't seen anything special from him to be honest. West ham seems about right.
