€1 Million for a 13 Year Old?

Reports are we've signed Irish youngster Conor Masterson for a total of €1 Million. What are your thoughts about signing such a young player (13) for such a high price? Is it even worth the risk or is a million (euros) worth so little these days?

Other news suggests we've named the supposed 'next Neymar' William McLaren. His nickname coming from the fact he's consider so quick they've likened him to being as fast as the F1 car. Sounds far too good to be true but those are the reports.

I assume it could be as much as £1mil I'm the future. As in, if he makes so many first team appearances or international appearances it will include fees for each clause.

There's no way a 13 year old would be obliged to honour a contract. I may be wrong,but a player can't even sign a long term contract till he's 18.

With some younger players progressing to the squad, we need to replenish our academy quota. Not surprised he is Irish.

I don't think you can sign any longer that 3 year contract at 17.
