13? When I was 13 I was the most awkward bastard you had ever set eyes on.

Read about this a couple of days ago. Didn't think it was very news worthy as we acquire players for our youth academy on a regular basis. But 3m? I hope he is something special then.

3 million for a 13 year old?!!

World's gone mad. Can you say "Cherno Samba", children?

3 Million for a 13 year old is an odd bit of business !

Doubt it's £3m now. He probably got bought for less than a £100k but if he makes it it could potentially increase to £3m.

Definitely. It would be moronic to pay this kind of money for a 13 year old. The clubs' agreement probably has a bunch of clauses that could potentially raise the price to 3, but not any time soon.
