You're rambling now, so I'm not sure I can be arsed but here goes. You jumped on someone for a post made ages ago - accusing them of disrespect - for jokily pointing out that of our two Ryan's he would hope that Fergie picked Giggs ahead of Tunnicliffe for the CL final. Which was, obviously, a very strange thing to do. When you post strange things (as you often do) chances are someone will take you up on it.

We're a club that embrace the youth. I remember dickheads jumping on people for saying trust the youth at the club....people have short memories. That's exactly what Sir Alex has done and is doing. You'll notice I never talk about other clubs youngsters and that's personally what i find strange. Sorry, if i'm aware of the talent we have, which everyone connected to the club agrees with including Sir Alex (who was talking about Cofie two years ago to someone at mutv), Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs etc...but we're not allowed to accept Gives sglowrider a handshake

In one thread (entitled "Ryan Tunnicliffe") they seem delighted that he's saying, although one person seems more impressed with Scott Wooton. In another thread, somebody describes him as "An excellent prospect, especially so going forward down the middle." Grant McCann is currently injured, which they think will mean more chances for Tunnicliffe. |

I've always thought he had the best chance of making it of the midfielders from the FAYC team. Probably not as skillful as Pogba or Morrison but he's got his head screwed on straight and seems like he wants it more. He just has something about him that sets him apart from the likes of Hewson, Drinkwater, Ritchie Jones and the others who've just faded away after seeming like a sure thing.

Will he be already ready for a Premier League loan next season for a club like Wigan or is it better for him to go to a top Championship club?
Unfortunately i haven't seen much of him at Peterborough. But i've seen enough of him in his games for United that he's a massive talent. |

Another thing is that the players are limited in some respects by the squad they are playing with. Welbeck looked decent but nothing special when he was at Preston for a few weeks, though he scored a cracker from what I remember. But he was ready for the league and stepped it up when he was at Sunderland. That said, Welbeck was a special case. He had already played in the FA cup semis for us.. and done well. |

I'm guessing he's talking about David Jones? Ritchie Jones would be a very strange player to single out as someone that was once considered a "sure thing".

No there was some hype around Ritchie Jones at the time too, which I always found odd. I guess people maybe got the 2 lads the wrong way round at times, can't see any other reason Ritchie would have ever got hyped up otherwise.

Gibson and David Jones were probably two better examples, but I certainly remember a good deal of hyper about Ritchie on the message board I was on back then. It was before the days of youth team matches being widely available online so I never saw much of him myself, which was probably why there was hyper in the first place.

I think he's talking about players with similar qualities. Energetic but tidy footballers rather than technical or flair players. Without a doubt David Jones was on a different level technically than the other players mentioned.

He is a Gerrard-light kind of player imo....he scores too little though, but a typical hard-tackling box-to-box midfielder. And he appears to have a hell of a winning attitude - everytime United did poorly, he was always the one who took charge to get United back into the game

It was a youth loan so it would run out now unless Peterborough renewed it, I think SAF's presence at Peterborough last week was related to this. Tunnicliffe has done well for a young player playing the Championship but he needs game time, makes sense for everyone to let him come back.
