Last major products of Le Havre were Anthony 'Next Zidane' Le Tallec and Florent Sinama Pongolle, who were signed from under the noses of every European superpower by Gerard Houllier? Clearly Pogba has quite a legacy to live up to there

Good luck to the lad though, hope he flourishes at United

I think he's also that kid who played that kid Duquan in The Wire. What a multitalent!!

Well we saw how good Houllier was at developing young talent, Benitez is just as bad, if they arent over 21 or 22 they dont have a chance at Liddypool

In fairness, looks like young Insua may surpass £8m Dossena in the Anfield pecking order. There's some serious talent if he can do that, expertly nurtured by Rafa of course.
 
Interesting. Looks like our squad is just about perfect, now we're doing some FM-esque youth signings :p
 
I think he actually will end up being quite good, I am basing this on nothing other than his pic, the name, and his standing in the french youth team

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has snapped up French starlet Paul Pogba from under the nose of Arsene Wenger.

Ferguson has tied up a deal to land the 16-year-old Le Havre midfielder who has opted for United ahead of the Gunners.

It is a major triumph for Ferguson who has struggled in the French market in the past because of Wenger's contacts.

Pogba can leave Le Havre in the summer - with the fee based on appearances and compensation on his 'education' at the French club.

Who knows if it is true - haven't seen it anywhere else.

Seems we are signing a few young players at the moment - this lad, the guy from Leeds and Dodo. Though i don't know if anything concrete has actually happened with the Leeds fella.
 
I actually did use the search function in the transfer forum and nothing came up for Pogba, didn't realise there was already a 2 page thread on it.
 
We are investing heavily in youngsters at the moment, this is a very good sign. I await Ekeke's expert assessment on the lad

He's amazing

Not that I've actually seen him. Liverpool and Arsenal kept being linked to this "wonderkid" (as every article made sure to call him) at the back end of last year. He chose us... He's obviously a player of outstanding decision making skills.
