Thiago Almada

It really is annoying when the pundits go on about a young player As being the new Messi or the new whoever, it just heaps unnecessary pressure onto them.

It's lazy but happens in all sports unfortunately. At 19 Leo was doing unreal things in Europe

We'll never see anyone at Messi's level, once in a lifetime, at least that's my opinion. Almada looks nothing like him, he can be a great player for sure but doesn't understand who decides he is the next Messi

Messi scored an El Clasico hattrick at 19.
There will never be another Messi

 

[JULES]

his close controll looks excellent, more kinkladze than messi though, looks a good bet though

If we miss out on this lad by dragging the transfer out someone wants sacking

 

[g180aj]

I don't get the negotiating when he has a buyout clause! You pay it or you don't!

If we miss out or don’t buy him it won’t be because we dragged it out. It will be other reasons. Nobody will be being sacked.

Matias Vuoso mk2. Probably. He'll probably end up in Germany or Italy and we hardly hear of him again.

Better to target players who could walk straight into our best XI and improve it. That's what we need.

@Ezzy already confirmed it

 

[oldius]

It often goes very quiet when our deal is done. @Ezzy?

City (we bought him right?) are selling him to Atlanta United for an MLS record fee apparently.

Tongue firmly planted in cheek, sorry about that :)

another case of hype vs reality.

That odd ball Ezzy was all over this guy a couple of summers back - him and Ait Nouri who ended up at Wolves, if I remember correctly - neither of whom have really lived up to any of the early hype.

Weird kid - we all knew he was full of shit, but the commitment and effort he put into lying through his arse on a football forum always suggested something deeper and more insidious going on in in his psychology than your average, run of the mill internet attention seeker!
