well barca could be the ones laughing in a few years' time.it's quite ridiculous i admit,especially the amount of money involved,but you gotta admit that there could just be a rare gem in the lot that they're recruiting-500k would seem a very small amount then.

My mate was telling me about this Lamela kid the other day. I wonder if I should write his name down somewhere :undecide:

if you playd a match lasting 10 mins in fifa 2000, you could score at least 15 goals. imagine how many goals you could score if you played 90 mins.
Yep, it does mean that Dutch football, will have more and more youngsters 'pinched' from it, it a sad thing, but Holland is now a selling league, its a shame, because I am a huge fan, but thats the way football is now!
at least players in dutch clubs get paid. I was mostly thinking of the south american leagues. They have no major sponsors and successful teams are totally raided come the years end. Players are tricked by illegal agents etc... In south america young players have great sense of emergency to leave immediately whereas in Holland, yes the bright stars get snapped up, but they have oppurtunity to stay longer and develop

This is ridiculous young children being signed at the age of 7-12, alright 16-18 is an okay age but 7 come on. Desmond you do have a point, investing 500,000 Euros may seem as much but the 12 year old Erik Lamela, may prove to be a great asset in a couple years time like what Wayne Rooney was to Everton, sold to Manchester United for an incredible fee of £25 million.
