I agree completely.
Sir alex used to do this all the time.
I do not want osimhen, i want us to sign an up and coming player and turn them into a top player.

We need 2 strikers

An experienced one ie Kane or Oshimen with a young upcoming striker ready and waiting who could be loaned back for a year or two ie Ferguson Sesko or Hojlund.

If Ferguson has good advisers, they'll hopefully be telling him to stay where he is for another season . He's with a good club who play good football and will be in Europe . He's doing well with them and getting plenty of game time .

{Ed002's Note - He has signed a new contract.}

Fair point Ed, but hasn't Caicedo too yet the transfer rumours persist?

{Ed002's Note - Right, and Brighton accept he will leave.}

And would brighton be open to Evan leaving?

{Ed002's Note - No.}

Brighton don't want to sell Evan, and he is happy to stay there for the next couple of years while he develops.

It's probably best for him to stay there and play regularly.

Leave him be then look to buy him next summer or the summer after. He is a United fan so I doubt he'll need convincing to join.

He's an ambitious lad shappy I'm sure.

Have you any insight into how you know he is happy to stay there for the next few years?

Angel, well to start with he signed a new deal weeks before the summer transfer window kicks off. If he was interested in leaving this summer he certainly wouldn't have done that.

He also chose to sign for Brighton when other English clubs were interested in bringing him from Ireland. That was supposedly based on him and his family understanding he needs to play regularly to develop. So there is clearly a plan in place for his progression and development. They know too much too soon it's not in his best interests.

However, he is a lifelong Manchester United fan, and dreams of playing for us one day. So if he keeps progressing as he has this year, then next summer or the year after he is likely to have offers from all the top clubs. I'm sure it will cost a pretty penny to get him from Brighton at that point. But with 2-3 seasons of EPL football under his belt he will be well worth it I'm sure.

I think if he stays one more year there, they will be doing well to keep. him.

Seems to me that if he has signed a new contract and is happy to stay another year or too then it shows a maturity beyond his years. He is young learning all the time and a club like Brighton with a good coach is the right place for him. At Utd the pressure of unrealistic expectations could ruin him.

Its best if the lad stays there for year or two. He is someone we should be watching and talking to Brighton about as a player we are interested in for the future asking to be kept abrest of any developmemts in his future at the club. If he develops like i think me might is is certainly one i think may be a long term solution for us. Right now though for him i think its best he plays and learns and doesn't come to a team where he is second choice or is met be intense scrutiny and unrealistic expectation.

If we signed a Kane type then Ferguson might well be his replacement, spending a year or two tofethwr to hand down knowledge, that's the kind of planning United need to be doing.

Rooney came to United at 18. If you are good enough you are old enough. If we could get him and he is as good as his media then we should. Kane, should we get him, will give us a few years and there is a natural successor.

If you want to be thrifty there is a kid in Australia called Nestory Irankunda. 17 years old He is a beast, very quick and a massive prospect. Bayern have him on their radar. He could stay in Oz for a another season to develop and come over to ply his trade.

He would cost 4 million with other high profile players in Oz going to Europe for 2 million.

Check him out on YouTube.

Of course like any kid he could stall in his development but he has handled himself well as young as 15 in the A League.
