He is 19. Good potential may be but don't expect him to be a game changer right away.

Kante regen from the YouTube highlights.
Players like Camavinga and Fati started playing for their national teams (much better national teams than Ecuador) at 17. So at 19 a player (if he is destined to become a global superstar) already needs to regularly play for senior teams.
Won´t happen now, the ship has sailed unfortunately, unless there´s some kind of gentleman agreement Grealish can leave.
Perhaps we could revisit our Maddison front, who only started playing regularly after his injury. Would personaly prefer Grealish for sure. The replacement won´t be direct though, would rather want a player with flair like Camavinga but could do with a Kalvin Phillips type of signing. None of these seem remotely possible though.
Definitely not expecting a game changer just someone who can get the ball and pick out our attacking players
Maddison just signed a 5 year deal I think. Only big money will prise him away now
Not all footballers follow the same trajectory. Kante has been mentioned in this thread, he was playing in Ligue 2 when he was 23 and didn't start to play for France till he was 25.
Not a bad player to be similar to at all
Highlights can be deceptive but he certainly seems to be very well rounded for his age. Long and short passing, pretty mobile, very good tackler and even has a decent shot on him. Looks a real prospect.
I'm aboard the hype train
Has any of this actually been confirmed by United?
A player in a position we need. I don't believe it.
They never respond to rumours and I don’t think they’ve been asked TBF
However if the Ecuadorean media and club etc are reporting it, think all they’re waiting for is the i’s dotted and t’s crossed before releasing a statement
After watching 3 youtube compilations Im all the way in the Caicedo train 
.Going to be totally devastated if we dont get him.
.Going to be totally devastated if we dont get him.Yeah the Martial, Bailly & VDB stuff all broke in the foreign media then got picked up by the UK ones and then the club speak when all is sorted.
Funny how any player we are interested in, immediately gets known. Liverpool were basically able to sign Jota without any fanfare. They basically had him signed before anyone knew. With us its the opposite. The papers know everyone we are interested in.

If you go back to the seventh page of this thread someone has uploaded footage from the Ecuador v Uruguay game and might give a better insight
Checked his FM stats. He’s crap, was the same with Diallo and Pellestri. We’re doing this wrong.
Will do thanks!
He is one for the future. Considering we are so close to the first poisition in PL I am hoping (and expecting) we to sign some tactical reinforcement, an experienced CB and RB perhaps.
It would definitely be wise to sign an analogue to Alex Telles for RB, no doubts about that. Neither Fosu-Mensah nor Williams are good enough now to be cover for Bissaka.
In terms of CB, we don’t need anyone who is just “good” (we have cover in Bailly and Tuanzebe). For this position, what is needed is some “extremely good CB” (or even better than that).
Can also pick up the second half of the game if you go to fullmatchsports.co and put Ecuador into the search box, would upload it here myself but I am not very technically minded when it comes to these sort of things
There was plenty of links to jota, you just aren’t as interested to other clubs transfers so it doesn’t seem so obvious
I'd prefer Maddison to Grealish, but I'm sure we have a Maddison thread for that discussion.
The Caicedo videos on Youtube are promising. Nothing wrong at all with a punt on younger players.
Who were you thinking we should be looking to bring in at RB then?
It's being picked up from across the UK papers and journalists now, so you'd have to think this is close to a resolution next month. Would love this signing to go through, potentially very exciting.
We’re a business, Woodward loves the media exposure. It’s good for his business and to go get commercial agreements.
He will easily, very easily find a spot in many top leagues if he immediately goes on loan. I don't think it'll happen though, he will be in the team to acclimate. He's quality.
I wonder if he is joining in January or the summer. Might be like Diallo and take a few months to sort his work permit
Yeah if we can I would rather try to get him mixing with the squad and a tentative outing in the Europa or a cup game if possible.
See how he does before we send him on loan.
The kid looks a strong lad and certainly seems to have the engine.
Why I’m so keen to try this is due to how bad Matic now is for us whenever he plays, I can’t see how this kid could be more of a risk than him to be honest.
I love this type of signings, hopefully he comes in and kills it!
Caicedo, whoa-oh!
Caicedo, whoa-oh!
He comes from Ecuador
He'll smash in your back door!

Seems like he’s well worth a punt at that price, let’s hope these reports are correct
Looks like one for the future. Definitely don't mind.
If Tim Vickery rates him, then he must be good.
If Goldberg says its done it must be done.
January if all reports are to be believed
