Alen Halilović

[Blaugrana]

We can still sign him at any point since he wouldn't have joined us until next summer anyway.

 

[jonnyp]

Really sad we didn't sign this kid, think he's a superstar in the making.

I got a feeling this deal will still go through.

the transfer window is closed...

You can sign anybody anytime. He just wouldn't be able to join us til January. We signed your namesake in March.

If we haven't totally gotten disgusted with the father, we could work on it during the fall and come to an agreement at any point.

Happens on occasion (Gunter I think was the last one I can remember), although it isn't common between summer-winter windows. You see it more after January.

Can still reach an official agreement that he'll join in January after spending the year there just won't be able to change his registration until January I believe.

I realize that, just don't see that happening here. The way this kid's dad is I don't think it will ever happen.

He cannot join until he is 18 anyway, plenty of time to do the deal.

Plenty of time for a higher profile club to swoop in and sign him

And plenty of other clubs will have time to do a deal too.

EDIT - was too quick and didn't read the post above.

Yeah. Baldini will keep chipping away and if there is not credible alternative coming forward in the next couple of months, we could still sign him.

It's the father we need to win over anyway.

 

[carpediem991]

I think it is just about how interested are other clubs especially spanish ones.

Halilovics dad seems to have a clear idea of what should happen but there have to be interested teams and teams willing to agree terms with Zagreb. Won't be easy to finalize it, I think they will wait and see, no point of doing it quickly.

By the time he has turned 18 we might have won the treble and romping through the CL the following season.

With us signing Eriksen from the bargain basement I won't lose any sleep over this.

 

[beats1]

Why do people keep saying he cant join till he is 18?

Just look at how good Kovacic has done. We either get him now or have no chance at him in a few years.

 

[ItsBoris]

I still want one. New year's present Levy?

 

[voxy28]

I rather we take the money and go for EL....

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Impressive English!

It depends on whether you really believe he's the real deal. I can only assume we do, and he would appear to be able to play in a position where we could do with someone, albeit I can't think he'd be ready for the prem for 18 months or so - that picture of him and Ibra is hilarious

 

[allatsea]

Perhaps because he can't join until he is 18 ?
