To be fair Cristiano Ronaldo had made 14 starts in Portugal when United paid 12m for him at 17 years old.
You have to take risks with mercurial talent, and everyone who speaks about this kid says hes the show.

agree, and hope this guy turns out good, but CR was 17 and the potential had time to develop, this lad is 20 and hasn't the the top league flight alight...
I was looking at those numbers earlier too, but they didn't seem right. Did some deeper research, and they aren't...

Claims personal terms (4 yr contract) agreed with the player. All that's left is fee to be agreed between the 2 clubs.

I doubt it will be that big a fee, they are desperate for cash and he is not an established player, i'd say it will be a low initial fee with a couple of additional payments triggered by appearances or trophies
He did earn his 1st cap for Spain U21 in Jan due to his good performances with Barca B last season though. Came on as a sub for Valencia's Paco Alcacer in their match against Belgium U21 on 5 Feb.
Carvajal is the only 'survival' to make it to the Under 21 European Championship, such is their depth of squad.
Share your concern mate, especially in terms of the fees in relevance to his experience. However, it is worth noting that he got more game time in his 3 seasons (98 starts) with Sevilla B (2 seasons Segunda B - like England's League 1) and Barca B (1 season Segunda Division - similar to England's Championship) than Coutinho did in his Vasco, Inter and Espanyol spells, albeit not at as high a level (almost double the mins played). He also have a couple of sub appearances for Sevilla 1st team.
Coutinho only signed on loan for Espanyol in Jan that year and in almost half of the games he started (14), he did not last the full match (sub out 6 times).
(I'm not trying to compare him to Coutinho here, just addressing the games played/experience concern.
)Sevilla's DOF Mochi also said in an interview that he did not expect Barca to take up the option to sign him because of the fee and various add-on variables stated in the clause. He said the loan will serve to develop him for the first team and that he, alongside the likes of Salva, Jozabed, and Alberto Moreno también were part of his 4 year plan to make the step up from Sevilla's academy to 1st team/top flight football. Named José Campaña (Sevilla) and José Carlos (now with Rayo Vallencano) as examples of success under such system.

In another article on his loan expiry at Barca B, it was reported that Unai Emery has watched him live a few times this season and is ready to promote him to the 1st team if no satisfactory offers are received. Also mentioned fans were initially unhappy with his loan to Barca B when news first broke out because they felt he was ready for Sevilla's 1st team.

Judging from the highlights, he plays as one of the attacking midfielders or on the left wing, cutting inside. Doesn't look very quick, but has a good eye for a pass (it would be strange if he didn't, playing for Barca B) and a great right-footed shot - lots of power and control. I don't think he is a playmaker in the Xavi/Iniesta mould, he seems more like goal-scoring oriented midfielder, kind of like Meireles (when he played for us) or Mendieta. Spain didn't have too many players of this type in recent years, they were too busy breeding the Xavi/Iniesta clones or pure wingers like Navas/Joaquin. Interesting player.
I hope you're not refering to ability
Hansen, since you think every player we're linked to is great and we should sign everyone - is there any point in doing this ?
I know you've never seen him play and had never heard of him before we were linked. So I don't think you know anything about his ability
Firstly, thats BS. Secondly, thats right. I know nothing about him or how good/bad he is or could be.
But neither do you and dont even pretend otherwise. Some people that know the league better than anyone says he would get into any team besides the top two. Which you cant say at all about Pacheco. Thats why I'm struggeling to see the comparison. Which is lazy at best.
He might turn out shit or he might turn out good. Lets hope its the latter.
Thirdly, fuck you for that shite post and fuck off Oncy for liking it.
