We appear to be buying an 18 year old MF Saed Haksabanovic for £3m from Sweden according to Exwhu.

Sounds promising.

70 first team appearances at 18.

Putney_Hammer

Straight out on loan and won't see him for the next 3 years ;lol

SuzanneClaret

Vorselaarhammer

he is young but I think he will be like Fernandez last season and may get some game time this year.

He has had a lot of senior football already.

Straight into the Dev squad and then sold on to Luton after 12 months

Lukerz

Doubt he'll be in the development squad. Already a full international.

baracks_a_hammer

Let's hope so

Lanzini replacement?? ;sofa

So is Samuelson.

IronHerb

Where's Lanzini going?

Yeoldhammer

Up the M1 to Old Trafford ?

I hope he turns out to be a very good acquistion. I can remember when we signed a Finnish wonderkid in 1999 (Sjolund) who we subsequently let go to Liverpool as part of the Rigobert Song deal and then he ended up back in Scandinavia having done very little in England. Does anyone know how Belic is getting on?

Yeoldhammer

3m is a hefty investment for a youngster or is that the going rate now for young potential talent.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Probably is. Be very surprised if we see him in the first team at all this season.

MrsGrey

baz is going to have fun with this one ;biggrin

Welcome, Sead ;wave ;scarf

ASLEFshrugged

30 appearances in the Swedish top flight (think EFL Div 1)
28 in the second tier (Conference)
10 in the cup
2 in the playoffs

He played at every level up to U19s for Sweden before deciding to play for Montenegro. His full international career so far is 5 minutes against Armenia in June.

Definitely one for the future

I might be wrong, but I'm fairly sure we were rumoured to have payed about that for Janaai Gordon a few years ago

Yeoldhammer

That one didn't turn out great

FlorinRaduclious

Welcome Sead! I know nothing about you but to have played 60 odd games in a top flight at 18 is a great attestation. Going by the obligatory utub vids, it looks like he has good technical skills, both footed, quick, dribbles well, and not afraid to shoot. It doesn't look like he'll be challenging for the first team quite yet, but I hope this move is a positive one both for him and us. Who knows what the future could hold. Go on Sead! ;scarf

FlorinRaduclious

@Fortuneseeker I can't remember which one it was, but on one of the Champ Mans (maybe 00/01?) Sjolund became a beast for me. Loads of goals from CAM!

As far as Belic goes, wiki states he has 2 goals in 6 since joining Celje in the Slovenian league in February.

Lastly, with Sead, give him some smaller lettering on that shirt, it looks ridiculous!

ASLEFshrugged

Yeold - Jaanai Gordon is still playing for our U23s, he'll be 22 in December although I can't seem to find any mention of how much he cost

"Definitely one for the future",now where have i heard that before. ;hmm
