Clayton's Mbappe?
The one you get when you're not getting one.

At this stage we look to have agreed a fee, but so have a few other clubs. One report somewhere says he is after a club that will give him first team football, so any deal is some way off yet.

all for it. get some quality yoof in. we're going to need it by the looks of things

We'll have an opening when Sanchez goes, and he can play alongside Iwobi who can fill Ozil's spot,
and AW will revert to his preferred 4231 so as to play Walcott as RWF.

1:20 into the video, i had to laugh when they were 4 against 1.
e: imagine if he missed

Looks like the sort of player who will excite and frustrate in equal measure. Will he get a work permit though?

Yup.
Going by that video, he seems the complete opposite of a Wenger player.
It's almost as if he has so much confidence in his ability that whenever he receives the ball, he assesses the situation then picks the most difficult option.
Either that or the Dutch league is shit.

The Dutch league is shit, but he doesn't play there. Not that the Belgian is any better.

Looks like a diving ball hog tbh and if he ever makes it here then the AFCON will fuck us over every two years.

Don't want.

:boris: Sums up my ignorance about him.

When not even his Youtube video is impressing, then I'm starting to get sceptical.

Some perspective needed.
A 19yr old striker with a £6.8 million price tag, in 2017, is a punt.

He has a release clause so we haven't actually agreed anything, and reportedly most the big clubs in Europe are chasing him, barring the really big boys.

I've flicked through his youtube video and am not keen but he scored 12 goals in the Belgian League so that's not bad. Probably worth a punt.

Lukaku scored more in that league when he was 16 years old.

he was joint top scorer with 22 goals from the wing. thats pretty good for a young player even if it is in the belgian league

lukaku was already built like a middle weight boxer at 16 so its not worth comparing the 2

Yes he did. From the wing in a struggling team too, by the sound of it.

I like the look of this bloke. Maybe we can't sign the actual Cuadrado, but Henry looks like he has similar traits. Let's bring him in and see if he's any good in a real football league.
