While that is true.... There isn't really too much downside for a kid who is already one of the best players at that level at 18 years old. If he doesn't make it at Spurs by the time he is 21 then he would still probably command a reasonable fee to a lower level PL or upper Championship club.5m is a lot of money for a kid.

Pele was playing against crud defenders that are no where near the level defenders are today
It's all relative though - were they that crud or was he that good? you could argue that Pele could never do that against defenders of today but Pele would also be a forward of today. Imagine how much better Pele would be with today's training methods and such.Pele was playing against crud defenders that are no where near the level defenders are today
That's either extremely funny or stupid from the Chel53a tweet.
Edit: Reading the twitter thread, he's now making out that it was a joke

"5 contracts being prepared"
guessing that is combo of ins and outs. no idea who he is referring to or how close. but likely 3 out, 2 in.
NB. this stuff gets prepped every window on final day so it's ready to put through quickly upon deal completion. doesn't necessarily mean anything.

And we might be setting ourselves up for a fall if we start making Pele comparisons

What did we pay for Bale?
If he turns out to being good enough to play for us regularly, he could easily be worth £20m in a 2-3 years.
If this kid hasn't scored the winner in a World Cup final in the next two years he'll forever be a failure in my eyes.
