Lincoln

Absolute beast. Still only 20 and already world class. When I bought him from Gremio at 18 for €16M he had already been a first team player for them for three seasons, in his first season with us he was the key player in our surprise run to the Champions League title, in his second season he destroyed the Bundesliga as we managed to beat an almost unstoppable FC Bayern to the title. Hardly a bargain, but without a doubt the best player I've ever bought in 10 years of playing Football Manager.

Glad I signed him for £600K in the first transfer window then!

First patch you could sign him for about £1,5m and within a few years was god like. Shame I had Bernando Silva as AMC for my Man UNited team.
