He'll be a class act.
Angelo Henriquez
- Thread starter datura
- Start date
How would you describe his playing style, a summary would be nice.
He scores goals.
Van Nistleroy meets Henry.
Sounds rubbish, never rated either of them.
I'd compare him to Higuain from the 45 mins I saw
All Henriquez goals
So is this like the agreement for the twins or like the agreement for Ljajic?
We have first option mate, I think its become obvious why we didnt follow through with Ljajic (he is a prick) I would imagine within the next year we will exercise his option and send him on loan to Twente or Antwerp for a season.
Plays against Boca Juniors in the coming month (21st I think) so that will be a good test for the lad.
I would imagine he would be eligible for a work permit under the special talent ruling since hes played at up to under 20 level for Chile and has made a big impact in the Copa Libertadores I suppose it depends what we want to do with him though
Turn him into our new number 7?
Haha I'd love it. From what I've seen of him there is a lot to be excited about he just seems a really natural striker and seems quite rounded for a player so young and looks a bit like Ruud which always helps
According to the Mirror, we've signed him for 3 million.
Looks like we've signed him
I'd be interested to hear what Tim Vickery thinks of the timing of this (indeed if it is true); undeniably a real talent but is it the right time for him to go to Europe? He always has interesting views on the topic. Hope someone asks the question.
Perhaps we've just signed him to keep him there for another year but ensure no one else can get him off us? I suspect it is more to replace Keane though if we do bring him in now.
If we have signed him, I won't be surprised to see him being loaned out to twente.
Well Sir Alex did say Will Keane would be with the first team next season and since that's obviously not happening maybe he's planning on using Henriquez is our 4th striker?
Seems a real possibility given Henriquez saying we were going to sign him when he was older. Push plans forward a year because of other circumstances, a la Phil Jones.
how good can he be?
Great news
Hope this is true. I get what people are saying about whether or not he could do with gathering more experience but to be honest I'd prefer we actually confirmed the signing whether he stays in Chile for another year on loan or comes into our squad straight away.
I know the Ljajic transfer might have fallen down for numerous different reasons but I'd hate to watch another young player, that we have first option on, developing successfully only for United not to sign him for one reason or another.
If this signing is confirmed I'll be both happy and relieved.

He was also called up to the Chile under 23 squad today so seems like Chile are fast tracking him aswell
Always good to sign good young players.
Looks extremely composed in front of goal. Can't believe he hasn't been dubbed the 'New Marcelo Salas' yet. Let's start that right now.
He wears number 7 too. Just saying.

Reminds me of RvN
Now Mail is running a story about it too.

I'd love an unknown latino attacking signing to go with Kagawa. Now all that's needed is some sort of full back and I'm very pleased with the management from a muppet perspective (don't expect the MC signing).

he just tweeted "No se...", could be about anything but put your cocks away for the moment lads. 
Hazard ?
Hope this is true, or it could be the press putting 2 and 2 together after Keanes injury.
I thought Kagawa but wrote down Hazard. How about that. Didn't think about him at all. I blame the thread name. Henriquez starts and ends with with the same letters. My speedreading brain sometimes skips something when I'm tired.
I know you can't judge a lot from these videos, but I just hope he's actually a decent player and not just another poacher. We've got Hernandez for that role.
His first touch looked a bit hit and miss, he scores a diving header off his shoulder and a volley off his knee in that video. Too early to be even comparing him to Nistelrooy based on that.
Chicharito 2 ?
Since it's not transfer speculation, I think Twitter stuff is okay in here? FreddieBoswell7 (who owns a scouting company) has compared him to Kevin Keegan as a player.
Anyone who's seen him play on a regular basis? How good is he? Whats his style etc?
Who is Tim Vickery? And why should we be concerned about his view more than SAF and the team?
For all of you wondering what he plays like check out post 160.
Football journalist who covers S.America. Knows his stuff too. Don't think anyone said we should care "more" about Vickery's opinion - but will be interesting to see what he says about Henriquez. Vickery's written quite a lot about S.American players moving to Europe too soon.
