Manchester United are close to signing 19-year-old Oliveirense attacker Bruno Amorim.

So why United is involved in a player who couldn't make a cut to any first division team? If he was any good he would play for the B teams at least
I meant it's important if he's good or not. We could always use a good player.

Is he a Jorge Mendes client?

But reports say the big teams and teams in Italy were trying to sign him so your point means nothing. Not all players move early to big teams anyway so also a meaningless point.
 
Hes only played 4 games in the portugeuse second division. Might be difficult finding anything.
Bebe even got some footage back in the days before his signings... :nervous: No youtube. Do not want.

WHITE TEXT
 
He played mainly for their u19 squad last season and scored 10 goals in 33 games from the wing even though they're 1 of the worst teams in the league. I really don't get the logic of some people writing off a lad who only turned 19 because he doesn't play for 1 of the top teams in Portugal

Interesting info, really have no idea what to expect from this signing. I just want to see him play for one of our teams, before making any judgement. I was burnt by Obertan and still get rinsed by my mates today for it! I think the writing off is because he's not the shiny new toy a lot of fans want for the first team, but I don't think they're mutually exclusive.
 
So are we really signing him or are we being used to get some club to make a stupid bid to buy him?
 
There are promising prospects who are known in the scouting systems but whom Joe Public like us know nothing about. It's as simple as that.
He'll probably just appear like Possebon did.
 
I am not opposed to buying young unknown "young" prospects, but this smells of Bebe type of deal. Who are we paying off this time?
 
Too big headed

Which is the new "needs to bulk up"

Needs to shrink his head a bit
