I have seen that he will be €6m euros, we would be daft to blow our load on him.
Scarily, if this kid is 20, he’s probably too young to have watched Carrick at his best! He’ll have been 6 when Ronaldo left United.One thing I'll remind everyone of Is the effect Michael Carrick will have on the transfer of Midfielders.
We may be second tier but our facilities are amazing, we're 5th in the league with a manager who was elite in his position.
He's a big, big pull to young platers who grew up watching him and this guy will have watched because of Ronaldo and United being a big club worldwide.
Let them be interested but go out and make that statement to the rest of the championship, we have this pulling power
Honestly, keep your well informed and articulated footballing opinions to yourself, this thread is all about the knob gagsFM suggests he's already at the level of Howson and plays a very similar style to Carrick himself. Essentially sitting in front of the back 4 and starting attacking moves from deep. Very good with the ball, solid passing/technique with excellent strength and balance.
Judging by his stats and age I'd be very excited if this one comes off.
This is something we've not heard much from Scott on actually but given our recent permanent signings it could be the approach we're looking at?Does that fee include add ons?
I would have thought our budget for outright purchases is very limited, after last season's large loss.
However you have to invest to accumulate with young players i.e buy them at 20 or 21 and possibly sell on 2 or 3 years later at a profit. Forss is an example. If he becomes a regular top half Championship striker, he will be worth more than what we paid in 2 year time.
depends how Gibson looks at it.I would have thought our budget for outright purchases is very limited, after last season's large loss.
The Wankdorf Stadium would seem the natural home for an ArdonGood job he plays for Luzern rather than Young Boys. We don't want an Ardon from Young Boys.
