confirmed: 4/year deal. http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-F...es-four-year-deal-with-manchester-united.aspx
I must admit I haven't seen anything of him, so I'll wait til then to have an opinion on this. I'll just assume we know what we're doing
From my huge sample size of 1 match, these are the attributes I were able to glean: Comfortable shooting with either foot Has a good shot on him Has a penchant for the spectacular Tries to run right through defenders too often and, consequently, loses the ball . He's young, he'll learn his limits soon enough. He's like a young Gerrard except less hard working.
Can he play in a midfield of 2? Pogba is replaced I guess. Good signing, I am happy. We'll the Hernandez deal and an established midfielder, and business is done for the summer.
Kind of deal we do often, would be interesting to see him though I think we will loan him in January.
Saw a depressing stat today, the last players Fergie Signed from League 2 or below? Hardly a list of players to get your heart racing. Roy Carroll - Wigan Athletic Nick Culkin - York City Dion Dublin - Cambridge Jonathan Greening - York City Lee Martin - Wimbledon Ralph Milne - Bristol City Lee Sharpe - Torquay United Graeme Tomlinson - Bradford City Neil Whitworth - Wigan Athletic
not a bad list considering the money we paid. most were gambles... but then again most players are. I think we have real gem in Powell. the most we paid was £2.5M for Carroll and he was more than serviceable over his time here. Lee Sharpe only cost £200K. I always enjoyed watching him play when I would get the end-of-season VHS tapes. Dion Dublin only cost £1M but he broke his leg too early in his career. then again, that opened it up for Cantona to come in while he was injured. Nick Culkin cost just £100K and only played 80 seconds for the 1st team over 7 years.
