What did?
The talk about Henriquez, was hoping for something more concrete by now.
Kinda got killed by the polish managers coments about leadowsiki or whatever he's called.
Lots reporting this as a deal that will be made official this summer.
I don't want Lewd 
Angelo is atleast a prospect
Angelo is atleast a prospectSeems like this might just have been the mirror picking up on our first option agreement and presuming we would be bringing him over now because of Will Keanes injury
Looks like something is happening.
His club, Universidad de Chile (aka "La U") takes on Boca Juniors in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores semi-finals on Thursday at 8:30pm Eastern US time.
Not sure if he's likely to play or not, though.
Regardless, there may not be any definite news on this until La U is done with the tournamrnt, which could be the end if June if they reach the finals.

Except for the fact they've not denied it and the coach has said he it would be a loss. I agreee though, he won't be leaving until they've finished their season.
Unless he's injured he will start the game.
Ha, yeah right. What he is really saying is: United are taking the player for only £3M because they had such foresight to do the deal when he was 15 years old. This pisses is off because we want to hawk him out to the highest bidder now that the other big clubs are fighting for him, but we can't do feck all about it.
Good point. What this also says is that the lad is probably leaving, they seem to be resigned to the fact. Will be interesting to see if he goes out on loan to FC Twente etc? Am I imagining it or does the lad hold an Italian passport, or otherwise qualify for EU citizenship?
It may be Gladstony or Evangilista who got an Italian Passport.
Fergie usually likes to wait for younger players to develop whilst playing first team football before he makes a bid. He's said a few times when signing players that he's waited a few years or he's mentioned that he only bid because of interest from other clubs. Probably the same case here, unless there is another club coming from him, he won't move anytime soon.
We can loan him back to them cant we? That way, a loan deal with an option to recall him works great for both parties. Gives us an emergency striker for cover if injuries really take their toll and lets him continue developing in a familiar environment.
How young were Ronaldo when he started knocking on the first team door?
Ya but he isnt really that talented. We've great options there, he'l just end up playing for the reserves.
Depends when the reported first option agreement ends though doesn't it? If that agreement is in place and ends this year say, then surely we'd sign him at the lower agreed price and loan him somewhere, rather than wait for the agreement to end and sign him at a later date at an increased fee.
Just scored a great goal to put Universidad 1-0 up against Cobreloa took a long kick from the keeper on his chest turned an beat a couple of men and scored from the edge of the box with a great strike
Business comes FIRSTI agree it's a bit shit. From both sides I can understand the frustration.
It is funny almost like the Jones saga.
We had it wrapped up then the papers still ran stories about Liverpool hijacking the bid.
What shirt number is he? Found a stream. What was the score in the first leg?
7 if i remember correctly
Goal at 1:56
That's a great goal.
route 1 football. looks like he'll fit into English football np.
I'm sure I read 2014.
So did I somewhere.
cos that's how English teams play
you Sir, are excellent at picking up on sarcasm.
According to several websites, we've signed him:

Some reliable sources there....
Click Manchester seems to be the Manchester-only equivalent of Caught Offside.
We've all known for a while we've got an option to sign him the papers are just filling their pages speculating he may be coming this summer (even though the player himself said the club have told him to stay put for the time being)
5 days old.
He starts tonight against Boca in the Copa Libertadores.
So whats the deal in place? Do we even have one? For a year I have been reading we are going sign him but so far have not. Do we have first option or is the deal going to be completed soon? Maybe this summer?
Apparently United have the option to buy him for 3 million until 2014. Supposedly. Correct. Who knows. Maybe.
United should never have done a deal with an agency like this, it will only make them more mainstream and powerful.
Boca up 2-0. They've had to stop the game because of smoke from flares, fireworks, etc. Riquelme is waving at them telling them to stop.

To be fair, La U's midfield was complete crap, or at least just overwhelmed by Boca. They barely had possession across midfield, let alone many opportunities to feed the ball to the forwards. Henriquez started coming back to midfield for the ball now and then to get any touches at all. But it's really hard to make any judgement on a forward when his team can't get possession, hold possession, or form any kind of attack.
Maybe they'll play better in the home leg and we can see how he looks when there's some build up play.
