I'm sure there will be clauses throughout his progress. Maybe a comic and some sweets when he scores his first senior goal :lol:

If they offer that much then surely Dwight McNeil must be pushing £50 million plus as he's now proven Premier league player.

They obviously think he will be a £60m player in a few years.

If they think he's the real deal it's a good investment. About the same as what we spent on Gibson, Vydra and Wells. Not saying it isn't a bit of a risk, plenty of promising youngsters go on to disappear without trace.

Is may be just me, but if I'm 14 and have a club crush my dreams, only for them to be interested in buying me again once I've proven them wrong in the premier league I'd be tempted to tell them to **** off. Especially when I know I could go to another top club.

These are the same jokers who resigned parttime player Pogba and spent a fortune on Slabhear Maguire and Sanchez attempting to chase the impossible dream,a return to their glory days

Really though, is it any wonder why the transfer market is becoming ridiculous. Buying a child, for 30M, and make no bones about it, that he is. Then paying 10 15 20 million for a mediocre championship or league 1 player is now becoming the norm. How can any club in England except those in the top 6 or those willing to bankrupt themselves compete. The FA should be all over this. I cant remember his name but didnt Man U pay us 1.5M for a kid who's never played since. These "big clubs" are killing the working man's game.
