this place is great
Was just to make the point to Devilish that no this isnt some alternative to RVP so he shouldnt get his hopes up.
Angelo Henriquez

Does he have any weird nickname to put on his shirt instead of Henriquez? Guacamoleto? Enchiladarito? Pollo Tapatio?
So if we sign him, i guess he will be sent on loan, if not we will have around 123 strikers in our squad.
Yes, but how do we know we've got a good player unless City or PSG try to hijack the deal?
True, that's why, despite all the hype on here, I reckon Kagawa is rubbish.
No Bebe Sol? Come on. I'm sure he's a fine goalie.
Wasn't expecting this so soon.
I hope we loan him back to his current club for another season. Could be the making of him.
I concur.
ahh now i see! He looks a player. Has done since Datura started this thread.... (wheres he btw, Datura that is?)
we got the better chilean than barca. get in.
I think our hand has been forced by interest by other clubs. Still good to see he's more or less signed for us. Exciting talent.
Completely agree. As great as training with Rooney, Welbeck, Scholes etc will be for him, scoring goals every week in front of 40,000 people in the top division and competing for championships that mean something will be far better than depressing wet Thursday nights away at Sunderland u-21s in front of a couple of hundred.
Bit like the Jones deal.
Mail saying he's passed his medical.

Angelo Henriquez medical was at Bridgewater Hospital today, went in secretly at 12:30pm, successfully finished & passed at 3:35pm

I love how we can tie up a deal for a kid from halfway around the world, sneak him into the country for a medical and get it done and dusted in about 12 hours - but we can't manage something in months will a player 3 hours away by train. Sigh.
Chuffed to bits about this. One of the most natural strikers I've seen for some time.
Where is he on the work permit situation?
Three hours to finish a medical? Too slow. Sell him.
Nickname is Gokan.
Went in secretly. Clearly we've built an underground entrance to Bridgewater. No more white sheet failures.
Went in secretly, by just simply walking in, because nobody knows who he is anyway.
Makes me wonder how many young players we've a deal like that on around the world. Our scouting system is really brilliant.
City's interest must have made us buy him now, unless it was a coincidence that City were simply linked with him yesterday of course. Very much like Jones as said above. Exciting times!
Pleasant surprise.
Agreed that we should keep him at his current club on loan for a while too.

Great news
I'm sure we will get Park Chu Young eventually
It's probably a poor reflection of sports media in this country that they don't recognise the (joint) top scorer for the Chilean champions (playing most the season at the age of 17), who has been training with United and had an agreement in place for years and was just in the papers today.
I'd be surprised if we didn't keep him around the squad here for a year. Let him settle in, play the cup matches, and then find him a loan in England next season. That's what I'd do anyway.
Is there someone who has ever watched him? Is he any good?
Promise and potential are there. Very natural striker.
SAF and the scouts have .In Fergie we trust and all that.
He's the next Marcelo Salas.
I don't know who he is, but his name tells me that he'll become a star.
I watched him a few times (4/5) over the past year or so after reading we had this first-clause, and he really does give off a Ruud vibe. Fantastic finisher, can take on a man, hasn't got electrifying pace but he's nimble. Think of a more dimensional Hernandez.
Dong, Manucho, Diouf and all that. Haven't seen him ever though so he might also be the next Ronaldo.
That's why I asked.
