From what ive seen of him doesn't stand out as being a top 6 prem player, he's just lightning quick. |  | | |  |

Neither did Harry Kane at Millwall, Scum or Orient.
Bale looked class at Southampton but never like he'd go onto a top six club, let alone be the most expensive player in the world.
What I have learned though is usually when players are talked about as having Arsenal, Man Utd and so on after them whilst they are playing for a Championship or League One team they get it spot on.
Chris Smalling was another one. I wasn't that impressed with him at Fulham after he moved there from obscurity and then United took him and for a while afterwards he was superb. | |

He is still very young. I think he is the type of signing that United need for this period. No more big egos or players who are picking up a wage |  |

I think he has a lot of potential. Very well-balanced and fast - neither of which can be coached. Shame he didn't want to drop down to League One for zero wages really... |  |

You can bet the recommendation has come from Giggs and I assume he knows what he's talking about with wingers! |  |

We scouted Harry Kane just before he broke in to Spurs' first team... our scout watched him a couple of times and wasn't impressed - a week later Kane promptly scored a hattrick for the first team in a cup game. |  |

Dan James wasavailable for £250k in the summer - he's now going for £15m or whatever it is!
To answer the OPs point - a big stretch for Man U. He was close to leeds for £7m in january, it took the chairman to stop answering his phone for that to fall through - he's done not a lot since.
It sums up Man U's business over the last few years, the people running the club don't have a clue and just jump around from one thing to the next. For all that is said about Man City being richer than God, Man U have spent just as much over almost every time period since Sheikh came in that can be mentioned. |  |

He also coaches him for Wales so has probably had a good look at him up close. It could be a good bit of business and if it works out Man Utd have a player for a potentially long period of time rather than buying a late 20's/30 something with a very limited shelf life. |  | | |

I believe that since Pep has been there, City have spent 150m more than United which is fairly considerable |  |

And the previous summer was on loan at Shrewsbury - and sent back to Swansea before the end of August. |  |

It's £75m on fees according to transfer market...
But Man U's wage bill for last season was £36m higher (296 v 260), and the season before it was £17m higher (£265 v £248) - no figures for this eason released but not a stretch to suggest that spending is going to end up about the same over the last 3 years with wages and transfer fees combined.
And then look at the difference in where they are - one has acheived 198 points in 2 seasons and won 5 trophies, the other are an sbolute shambles.
Even with all the money in the world, it's Man City's vision and strategy that has pushed them so far ahead - without that they'd just be another top 6 team. | |
