What is the point in Januzaj?

Thankfully chose not to play for england

I remember Neville raving about him last year. "Boy Wonder" I believe the phrase was

not sure he even a championship player.

Had an outstanding debut at Sunderland last year but hasn't done a thing since except get booked quite a bit for diving

lol  this thread will become legendary a bit like the old Gareth Bale threads imo.

He was absolutely dire when he came on today.  No confidence at all and looks like he'd benefit from a loan spell.

he's no tom cleverley thats for sure.

Wonder if the Utd fans still think he's better than Sterling?

Yep

He's obviously a talented kid but he needs a loan spell somewhere where he'll get regular games. He's not even playing now even whilst di Maria is injured so he's not got a prayer of starting once he's back.

He only returned to training a couple of days ago.

I don't know if he is a talented kid. I've seen no evidence of it since he came onto the scene. Slows the ball down, can't beat a man, no pace, can't cross. A hype job IMO.

Ok I've changed my mind.
I agree.
He's like De Gea - let's not give him time at all.

Has the lot, still have every faith in the boy. It could be a case of second season syndrome, or suffering under the formulaic LVG, but no questioning his talent.

The new Macheda

He was sh1te in his first season, bar the odd 10 minutes here and there. Will be shifted out in the next 12 months (nap).

Oldham may make a cheeky bid in transfer window

Biggest talent I've seen at club since Ronaldo.  Gone off the boil, still every faith in him.

ffs de gayer cost £20m !!

Januzaj cant beat a man or cross.

This kid must be one of the worst goalkeepers ever.
(De Gea)

needs a loan spell to get some sharpness back,no doubt he can play,just got bit over hyped due to him having few gd united games,no doubt will become a great player

Or...

        ... to put it another way...

               

                              ... some people on here can't see beyond the next 10 minutes.

having a few good games in the worst man u team in recent times, always a big plus.

                                          ... why do I even bother watching football?

Yep, 5th most expensive fee for a goalie, not like manure to go around trying to buy trophies though is it..

Hello R0ybeane. You've not been so quick to bump the thread this weekend. Why is that iyo ?
I certainly dont blame De Gayer for all six goals. That would be silly. But he did get nutmegged (again), showed a limp wrist for the SIXTH and could have done better for the FOURTH.
Now, suck on them apples.

Can't Catch Me 24 Oct 11 16:37 
Surprised he hasnt come in for more stick after yesterday. Exactly as Sint says...

He may or may not progress from where he is. I don't know for sure.
Woyuld I prefer to give him time or rely on the pedigree of one or two posters on here.
Well, let's see

Lots more where that came from if you like

5th most expensive

Breaking all records there

Feck off

By manure standards was plucked from obscurity, a bit similar to January, err Anderson and umm falcao

Ah the manure joke.
The tables for the CSE exams are over here.

they can spot talent

I'll leave you to your inane ramblings

Run along sh*t fan

What a weird post to top Pand. Presumably he didn't have a bad game that day then?

He has yet to get a run of games under LvG because he doesn't fit into his chosen playing style for the team.

In a better team he would get more chances but until United beef up in the middle of the park young Adnan will remain a fringe player.

Good point.

cheesycheese

It's just wrong to use facts against the ABU brigade. They only deal in blind hatred, bigotry & ignorance.

Well you know spending 150mil in transfer fees plus mammoth wages for Falcao, well that's nowt when you bring on a few academy players, ffs all makes sense to your average gloryhunter

Knew it wouldnt be long before the latest plastic fan turned up on this fred

He will turn in to a decent if not very good player one day ... he's not Obertan deux. Needless to say though that Ratboy and the rest of the rag media luvvies have all gone down on each other a tad prematurely over him. Theres four or five kids around the same age at City who have similar talent and potential but fortunately they will be able to find their feet unburdended by absurd hype and being thrown into the first team too soon.

young player in form dip shock

send him to the gallows!

Obviously standard footy forum rules and indeed the current culture of twaterazzi style media dissemination,  mean that any player should be primrily judged on what they've achieved lately during the average punters gnat like span of attention ...

Nope. Haven't though anything of him since he came on the scene. Nowt to do with his most recent performances. Massively overrated.

i cant remember this form he showed that he has dipped from, i cant remember it ?

did he score 10 goals, set up 15 goal ?

he played well whilst playing for david moyes,that in itself is an indication of the talent at his disposal,in such circumstances he could even perhaps be described as a footballing god in the making...

I have a general rule that people who use the word 'fred' often don't have enough intelligence to post anything worth reading.

The rule lives on........

but you read it

Your ignorance is remarkable.

Troll away as this is a waste of my time.

Ibrahima Sonko • January 1, 2015 9:16 PM GMT
but you read it LaughLaughLaughCrazy

....and it wasn't worth reading.

What's your point?

In fact, don't answer that as you are also a waste of my time.

Troll away.

you and pandora are clearly the precious fairy glory hunting type. Do come back to me when you can prove you didn't spend 150m only to outplayed twice by Stoke

So this was a discussion on the ability of Januzaj, you decided to c&p and make it personal, all very bizarre.

People who dont rate him are either ABU or trolls, all very strange.

Also their seems to be a small flaw in your rule, that you have to actually read it first. Surely an intelligent guy like you living in Manchester could do better.

I also think he stinks based on his performances for Man Utd.

If a woman was also to make a comparison between him and Giggs, then his roger would be about 8 inches less.

Januzaj is the new Ronaldo , or was that Gouffran ? no wait , it was Nani... no hang on it was Macheda , nope..I distinctly remember Fergie saying that Bebe was the next Ronaldo....

the quest goes on...

Bebe, Bebe, Bebe! What is with this Bebe? Ze fuhrer never said zis Bebe.....

Just for future reference for deluded manure followers here is alist of the transfer activity at old toilet over the last 3 seasons;

In - 16 players - cost 319 million
Out - dead wood from Shiite academy + mind boggling lay awful purchases - 32 players - revenue 26 million

Bogglingly < and lest we forget welbeck accounts for 16 mill of the 26,but still one day one of the hundreds going through the academy will be be worth more than two bob

Funny posts about United's academy

Can someone list the number of great players being turned out by the academies of Real, Barca, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Juve, City, AC, Inter & PSG in the last 5 years?

I doubt you could field a good Championship side with them.

Fact is no one knows if a good teenager will become a great player and no one has yet patented a way of making a good teenager a great player. If it happens it happens if it doesn't that's just about normal.

But I'm sure all the geniuses crayoning on this thread knew that anyway

So, please stop trying to tell us you do it by bringing players through, that is all we ask, without wishing to tax your little brain too much.
