Genuinely? To me, this is a shocking example of why top level football has completely lost touch with reality. £38M for a boy who's lucky if he even needs to shave yet?

Don't care how good the lad is. That transfer fee alone puts ridiculous pressure on him and is all about the race to be "discovering" the new Messi-types. I'd happily stake a bet on him not being at a top level club by his mid 20s. Freddy Adu anyone?

Goes to show how ridiculous football has gotten these days in terms of money.

Similiarly, I read today that as part of the Paul Pogba to Utd deal, his agent is scooping £41 Million of the transfer fee. Mental.

Reported Deigo Costa going to China for £650,000 a week, the world is going crazy with football money?

That would keep most Scottish lower division clubs going for a year on 1 weeks wages!!!!!
