Young Barry signed 3 year deal at Barcelona. we get £235,000 compensation.

I'm glad he's getting an opportunity to train and learn from the best. Unfortunately history tells me he will be loaned out and then released. 
I can only remember one 17 year old over the last 40 years who reached and maintained his potential at such an early age with one top club side. 
Norman Whiteside and he was retired at 26. Maybe Theo Walcott, Michael Owen could be mentioned but both come up a bit short IMO.
Unless some of you know different. Interesting to see other opinions. Good talking point me thinks.
