Sverre Nypan | Norwegian media: Will do a PL tour in December

A sensible move by the club. £11 million for an 18 year old in the Norwegian league is not what we need right now!

If he's a good enough player then it's exactly what we need.

The primary aim is to start building a side that will be winning titles three, four or five years from now. Signing talented young players is a key part of that.
 
I think Nypan is a good blueprint for the type of players we should be recruiting in that he's tall, technical and athletic. It's why I love the look of Baleba and Dibling too.

We don’t have the money to buy 11 ready made class players to challenge at the top we should be going for the top young players around Europe and growing as a team in Amorims system

Gone are the days we’re spending 70m quid in the likes of Casemiro we should rightly be signing top young talent

He has elite potential though. You aren't competing for trophies for the next 3 or 4 years so why not.

That's clearly the direction the club is heading, many reports mentioning this and the capture of that 17yr old LB and Koné shows our intention.

Gone are the days of missing out on Caicedos and the likes (I hope so anyway).

Am ok with us missing out on Nyppan, we have enough young talents in the underage groups. We shouldn't be blocking their path to the first team.
 
Is Nypan to Arsenal a done deal? Other talents for the AM role include Mastantuono and Lorran who the club are also scouting? Another young CM we have been linked to is Chris Rigg of Sunderland. If the club are not going for Nypan, it means they may be prioritising the other two.

Just like we didn't need an €37 million, 18 year old Diallo, "right now", back in 2020.

Same as we didn't need to sign Facundo Pellistri when we did either.

A lot of people seemed to have missed the point here. He's a teenager in the Norwegian league. He's likely to need years before he's ready to play for Man United and he will most likely never get to that level.

He's got less experience than the likes of Yoro, Hojlund and Zirkzee and they are all still very raw at this level.

If you want to fill the team full of project players then we are going to be wallowing in mid table for many years.

A far far better strategy would be to sign around 3 players in the summer in the £40/50 million bracket that are actually ready to go in to the team now.

It baffles me that people think we should essentially adopt the same sort of strategy as Brighton or Brentford without realising that the reason this strategy works for them is because they are happy to be a mid table team so they can afford to test these sort of players more than we can.

Does he?

From what I've heard about him he's not at the Odegaard or Haaland level.

I'd say so or borderline. He's maybe not a Odegaard or Haaland level at this stage but I wouldn't say far off personally. I'd expect him to be a quality PL midfielder if not necessary one of the best in the world at that position but I think he has that in him also.

More my point was he could potentially be a key player for a club like United and therefore probably worth a punt if he's available for £11m and they can find the funds, particularly considering they aren't challenging for titles in the next 3 or 4 years at a minimum. He's the sort of player that if he pans out could pull them up a level faster than signing decent PL players from the mid table sides.

We do have talents in the underage groups, but what if none make it, which is a realistic scenario? There is no harm in buying Nypan and loaning him out for the next 18 months, that's if he doesn't contribute next season. We literally have Mainoo, Ugarte and Collyer who have the energy to meet the demands of our new system.

Not a done deal but our name hasn't been linked with him recently. Any links to Mastantuono, Rigg and Lorran? The only links I saw for Mastantuono and Rigg for a long time ago and I'm sure Rigg signed a new deal last summer.

There has been links to Mastantuono around the time we were interested in Anselmino. But he signed a new contract so think both we and Madrid backed off as his transfer fee will be higher now. I think we are still interested but not sure if it’s something that will happen in the next window. We have been following Rigg since he was like 14 years old and made attempts to bring him into the academy. We have scouts at a lot of Sunderland games so I think we’re still tracking him closely. If Sunderland don’t go up, I think we will make a bid. But I don’t know who is a bigger talent between him and Nypan.

We're in 13th position in the league so him not coming into the team straight away as a key player is not a valid reason not to sign him if he has high potential. Also, Bergvall, who has a similar reputation give or take, has come into the Spurs team and some say has been their best player so it's not inconceivable that Nypan could actually make an impact. Also, unfair to put Pellistri in with these guys. Nobody was talking him up except for Diego Forlan. Nypan is far closer to Amad in reputation than Pellistri.

We've already got the 40/50mn players all around the team and they're just not difference makers for the most part. You need to get the future superstars before they move to a top club or any premiership club or we'll be paying 80mn plus. For 10mn it seems a risk well worth taking.
