Got a look of a young Frank Rijkaard about him.
Can he play for the first team? I hear we could do with a player or twoGot a look of a young Frank Rijkaard about him.
4 million for 16 year old, we are not holding back when it comes to signing young players.
Wait till he puts on a United shirt, he'll turn into a Frank Spencer.Got a look of a young Frank Rijkaard about him.
Rather pay (4 mil is including future bonuses I think) than missing on another Upamecano...
Exactly. We Bjorn Hardley have any left-footed centre backs.Nice! We finally got a huge French centre back. Can’t wait to see what he’s like on the ball. What I dont get is why aren’t we trying to sign a left footed centre back prospect seeing as it’s so in vogue these days. A few left footed players for attacking positions might be an idea now too.
Wow, that is a huge WillySize of him

I have a feeling it will be fun to watch our u23s in 15-18 months
This is one of the few things that gives me some bit of hope for the future that our Academy and youth teams have some seriously talented players that potentially will make a big impact and eliminate the need for stupid transfer sagas.
Mind you it will be a few more years before it comes to pass (and thats assuming its handled correctly).
There is so much talent that we don't even need to handle it correctly - a few of those guys will break through regardless
Look at our central defenders: Tuanzebe, Mengi, Kambwala, Fish and Bernard.
Or our 3 wingers Elanga, Traore and Pellistri
If he makes it to the first team, it will be a shitfest with these.
"Big Willy to the rescue" "Big Willy saved Lindelof arse there" "Big Willy's positioning was good" "Big willy did well to get out from tight space"

Exciting times at youth level
Plenty of time for the new signings to bed in and settleIt wasn't much fun against City a couple of days ago. A duller game than our first team play.
That's be a feat of supreme athleticism. It'd raise his status even higher.thank goodness he’s a defender and not a no 10.
otherwise we would be playing with big willy in the hole.
He was about 5'11 when I watched him in a few games about 10 months ago. Seems to have shot up.
I really don't know how quick he is because I never saw him get tested in a foot race. But what I did see was a 15 year old who looked exceptional on the ball, who could pass long/short very well. He looked about 5'11 at the time but also physically very strong and had a fantastic leap on him to attack the high ball which was notifceable.So realistically he could end up being 6ft6in + by the time he stops growing. Plus a year in the gym adds another 10kg of muscle?
How fast is he?
Could end up being the beast of all time?

I have a feeling that the academy operates with autonomy. Glazers and Ed give them a budget and they fire away. No dithering. If we could do what the youth team do but with 18-22 year olds we would be laughing.
I can't let this post go unnoticed!Exactly. We Bjorn Hardley have any left-footed centre backs.
