€15m for a 17 year old who hasn't made his professional debut yet is a "low transfer sum"???

Yip...

and people claim we should accept 25/30m for Stones! and a touch more for Sane in the summer (if we are lucky) it has been said.

I think buying this player is obviously a long term investment. Pep had reiterated no end that he would not be signing anyone (i assume that was senior slot straight in to first team). It's a meh signing for me. Similar to Gomes 18 months ago and the Croatia lad last year. We might never see him in the first team but if he comes good we've spent 12 mill. Even if he doesn't I'm sure we will claw it back at least through 75 loans for him.

I see you didn't get a reply there mate,fucking statto not knowing some facts, he hides if he can't come across at being clever,or in this case has to come across as clueless,makes me laugh that melt on here

Here's evidence of Fortune getting a work permit at United when he still didn’t meet the criterion! https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-united-quick-to-secure-their-fortune-1113876.html

Good luck to him, probably yet another who doesn't get near the first team and just has loan move after loan move until his contract runs out

So has this kid signed?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a young Brazilian described as anything other than ‘the new ..... (insert name of Brazilian great who played in similar position).

When are we signing the ‘new jo’ ?

I think united have beaten us to it tonight

It looks like another failed transfer manoeuvre. Has he joined Barcelona or stayed put?

I don't think he can officially sign till he's 18.

'Compared to Dani Alves' ? Come on, amend the thread title - it's embarrassing

Not a Dani Alves fan then?
