How do you know? Are you a scout?
I am not saying the story tell the whole story but it's nothing new that scouts overlook 15 years old (and younger) who later become quality players. Kane is one example.

Because your source is lame and when you read 'according to sources' it's the biggest red flag that tells you it's most likely bullshit, it also suggests that he would have had exactly the same career path of he signed for us, that isn't how it works, he could have ended up like Troy Parrot for all we know.
Yet they came in for Son and Romero.
Don’t mind him.
So you are suggesting that Troy Parrot choose the wrong club and if he had chosen Brighton he would have ended up as Ferguson
Sorry, but your logic is just pure guess work.

That's literally why I said 'could have'
Could have is still suggesting that it was a possibility.That's literally why I said 'could have'
The 'according to sources' could be just as a reliable as your statement that Ferguson could have ended up as Parrot...

100 players we would have scouted who had the same ceiling at 15. It's a lottery of genetics /luck with injuries and personality after that
That's the same with every team
That is literally my point.
I'm not claiming to be right, I'm saying that just because Ferguson was a hit for Brighton, doesn't mean he would have been a hit with us, my point is based on supposition just like you choosing the believe that we missed out on him.
What I am certain is that the article is bullcrap though, you really need to check your sources, sources have told football insider - you might as well speak to Dave down the pub, just a load of nonsense.
Spurs agree deal to sign Croatian starlet Vuskovic - but he won’t join for some time
Highly-rated teenage defender Luka Vušković is set to sign for Tottenham.
A host of clubs including Liverpool, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City have all been linked with the towering centre-back.
Vuskovic broke into the Hajduk Split first-team in the spring despite only turning 16 years of age in February, as he played a role in his team’s Croatian Cup triumph. During that campaign, he became Hajduk’s youngest-ever goalscorer just five days after his 16th birthday.
Spurs have won the race to secure his signature after a breakthrough in talks over the weekend, with personal terms agreed.
Given his young age, Vuskovic will remain at Hajduk until he turns 18 to continue his development before arriving in north London. That means his move is projected to take place in the summer of 2025.
The transfer fee involved in the deal is unconfirmed but rumoured to be in the region of £12million.

I thought it was Man Utd who did that and not us. Either way it’s not really big news.
I know people tend to overrate their own but I also saw a Croatian say he could even be ready for fist team football by the age of 18 when you factor in how many minutes he'll have played between when he made his debut until then. Bit sceptical on that, but it's promising.
Gvardiol was playing first team football in the Bundesliga at the age of 19
Can you imagine Ndombele fasting during Ramadan?

Buying him now to remain in Croatia till 18 seems risky, and frankly really stupid.
His current club no longer has any stake in him, they'll prioritise other players over him when it comes to playing time. That is unless he's so damn good that he is impossible to bench, which seems very unrealistic.
