Dude it happened twice. How is that a major issue?
He was born in Belgium, to a family of African decent. In a Belgian hospital, by a Belgian doctor and he has a Belgian passport.

Ha! There was one of those unattributed 'football spy' pieces in the papers at the weekend, when it looked like he was going to Chelsea, which asked "which imminent Premier League arrival is actually SIX years older than he claims to be?"waspish said:LongsightM13 said:Is his age legit?

He's really 32
I immediately thought of this guy.
Nobody in football believes, for example, that Obafemi Martins is the age he claims to be. I've even heard rumours about our very own Super Mario.
If he is really that good at 17 then we could be signing one hell of a player. And Belgium have an amazing generation of young players

On the books we already have:
Tevez
Dzeko
Balotelli
Jo
RSC
Caicedo
Bellamy
Adebayor
Nimely
If this deal happens in the summer, RSC, Caicedo, Bellamy and Ade will all be off the books that window and possibly Jo as well. And who knows if Nimely has a future here in a major capacity and with the uncertainty of Tevez for the future, make it happen I say.

Is it confirmed that this is true? Is it confirmed that we are even in negotiations with him?
Or is this just a headless rumour with everyone being so excited for nothing.

Good point, plus the fact he's only 17 means he dosnt have to be registered for the 25 man squad for another 4 years.

Exactly. Roberto is bringing in his players, and all but two of our strikers were Hughes bought and Roberto clearly is not a fan of any of Hughes' strikers. Obviously, Tevez is the exception to that. But, I Roberto offloads the Hughes strikeforce then we are very thin at the position.
