Endrick and the cost of signing youth
Anybody know anything about this kid Real Madrid have just signed? Should we have been in for him? Read they've spent 50 million+ to secure his signature, which, at 16 years old, seems insane. His highlight reel is a thing of beauty, mind.
Madrid seem to have a habit of snapping up the best young talent from South America these days. Should we be doing the same, and spending that much, to have a better future? |

You'll remember that we used to have a deal with Royal Antwerp where we'd sign young players and park them there because UK labour laws prohibited us signing players who although showed potential didn't qualify for a Work permit. I don't think the situation has change much. |

They paid about £50m for Vinicius Jr did they not? If it pays off its a hell of a long term investment.
When the oil pimps can chuck £150-200m at the likes of Neymar and Mbappe, the likes of Madrid have to be a bit more creative as they're not guaranteed to be able to outspend other clubs the way they have done in the past. |

However you look at it, it's an obscene amount to spending on someone so young and untested at the top tier. The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward perhaps??? Quote:

Doubt we'd ever chuck that amount at a Brazilian 16 year old. Not with current ownership anyway. They can't join until 18 and that is a huge development period for a player. Then there are work permit issues which mean they might not arrive for a while longer
Mejbri can't be far off the British record for a 16 year old. Think the full deal (with add ons was around 10m). Walcott was the biggest move for years. Must be something to do with when pro contracts start. |
