First buy of the summer

We've bought a sixteen year old German left-back - Nils Zander - from Schalke 04. This is the practice that Michel Platini always complains about, big English sides buying the best teenage academy talent from European clubs. But it seems to work - snatching Cesc Fàbregas from Barcelona seems to have worked quite well for Arsenal, as may United's taking Federico Macheda from Lazio.

Zander's profile on Schalke's website can be seen HERE.
