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

Agree. We have spent so much money on players who not only get paid insane wages, but also have huge price tags. I know we will be in the market for some exceptional players with high value, but I prefer the up and coming players tbh.
Same here, transfers like Christian, Nani, Amad (I know he was a bit expensive) , Dan James etc should have a place in our strategy because they can help retrieve ugly fallouts from expensive mistakes. Amad, if he continues on this trend, is basically what we thought we were getting from Antony and Sancho.
 
B/G have been regularly doing sales in that region these past few years, including Grønbæk who went to Rennes for 15m this summer and instantly became a hit. Also for some context, he has now had two full season as a first team player, including one as a bonafide starter, since he made his league debut just shy of his 16th birthday two days ago.

Two seasons in the Norwegian league against teams on a par with Aberdeen and Burton Albion on plastic pitches is no barometer whatsoever to suggest he's anywhere near good enough for Manchester United!

The example you are using is five years older and has played 13 games in the French league!

One of our biggest mistakes in recent years has been signing players that are nowhere near ready for this level. Hojlund and Zirkzee come to mind.

If you think this club should be full of project players and a testing ground then great. Just don't be surprised if we carry on being miles off a title challenge or playing Champions league football.

For Nypan the best possible step he could take right now would be to take a sensible step up to a bigger league and club but one where there's not too much pressure or expectation. If he develops there, then we take another look. If not then we have wasted money, but most importantly time on a player that's a million miles away from being ready to play in the Premier League.

Since you're obviously brilliant at adding context, I will surrender to your untouchable arguments.
 
It's all relative though, isnt it. 10 million isn't a lot for a top tier talent, but it is a lot for a second or third tier talent.

Anyhow, I have no interest in arguing, I just came to share an opinion from someone who watched him a lot.

And, as I said in previous post, I'll be more than happy to eat my words if we buy him and he turns out a bargain.
Quite frankly, no it is not a lot of money for a second or third tier talent. No idea if he even is a second or third tier talent. From what I can see, Nypan has shown just as much as Bergvall has (if not more) prior to his move to Spurs.
 
Looks very two-footed - don’t think we have had a player like him since Carrick. Though Eriksen is pretty good also.
 
10 million pounds? Wow, I've seen a lot of him and he is a decent talent but not top tier.

Spurs bought Bergvall for around 10 mil, no? And Nypan is a tier or two below him.

If we buy Nypan I expect him to be a squad player and that we move him on to Everton in a couple of years.

2 mil tops and if they don't accept, move on.

What makes you think Bergvall is so much better?
 
Nypan is definitely at least if not more talented than Bergvall.
Did you watch Djurgården a lot when he was playing there?

My dad is swedish and my mom is Norwegian (Trondheim). I have 4 uncles and a grandfather on my mothers side who are diehard Rosenborg fans so I've grown up watching Rosenborg.

I work in Stockholm and the company i work for are sponsors to Djurgården and we have 10 season tickets we can use. I don't support Djurgården at all but since the team I support is 5 hour away I usually go watch Djurgården.

I base my opinion on that.
Why do you reckon Nypan is the bigger talent?

No I did not.

But I have watched Nypan and at 17 in a more challenging league he’s is/was putting in mature performances and contributions.

I think it’s harsh to say that a player like Bergvall is better given that Nypan is the youngest player to represent, start and score for Rosenborg, and that he’s considered by scouts and those with greater knowledge than you or I to be the next best talent since Odegaard.
 
No, he was playing games for Atlanta and had played in the CL. That was also the Italian league, this is norwegian league. So the league strength is also different.

You might want to go do some research on that.

He had an hand full of minutes for Atalanta before his move to United.

Amad made his Serie A debut on 27 October 2019, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute against Udinese, and scored his first goal four minutes later in a 7–1 home win.[13] He became the first player born in 2002 to score in the Italian top flight.[14] His first UEFA Champions League call-up came on 11 December 2019, as an unused substitute in a 3–0 away win against Shakhtar Donetsk.[12]

Amad's first league game in the 2020–21 seasonwas on 28 November 2020, as a 77th-minute substitute against Hellas Verona; Atalanta lost 2–0 at home.[15] Amad made his Champions League debut on 1 December, after being subbed on in the 68th minute against Midtjylland in a 1–1 home draw.

So, he did play, which was the point. I did my research, you might want to read what is written.

Again what makes you think hes so much better? Watching him a bunch doesn't answer the question. Either you think he does certain things better, or you dont. Sofascore has his stats pretty similar to Nypan's from last season when he was just 16... In some areas like ball winning Nypan is higher despite being a year younger.
 
I hardly ever come on here to post but i needed to login as i have just watched some of his clips on YouTube and he looks like he could be absolutely amazing! What a talent he looks we need to sign this kid sharpo before the enemies get in there first!
