BBC report that NH have paid Preson £136K for a kid striker just 12 years old. Apparently he has been on the Preston books since he was 6. Smacks of Russian/Rumanian gymnast lassies losing their childhood.

I thought they would have to pay Preston the money if he eventually makes it, thus making it a very good deal for Manure?

From the Beeb

Daniel Rowe, who plays for Preston's Premier Academy League Under-13 side, will cost United an initial fee determined by a compensation tribunal. And if Rowe goes on to make 10 first-team appearances for the Old Trafford club, a further £100,000 will be payable.

That is no money at all, ten years down the line they pay 100k that's 55k now.
