He's done well in a wide left position apparently, which is weird given his style of play. Could be good for his development.
If they get promotion, we should give him next season there as well. A year as a regular in the PL as a 21/22 year old will show us if we should keep him or not. If not, it will give us a nice profit after a season in the top flight.He should stay there for another 6 months.
It's a confirmed deal now - Tunnicliffe and Cole both signed byFulham on permanent deals.Thought it would be worth bumping this as well. Apparently Fulham have bid for both him and Larnell Cole according to sky.
They are if they don't have a lot of talent, great dedication and patience.Youth players are pretty much doomed going forward, unless of course they are one off talents like Januzaj.
Bit of a hollow statement. As Drainy says, if you've got the talent, dedication and a bit of luck you're always gonna be given a chance at United. There must be half a dozen kids at the club now who tick the first two boxes.Youth players are pretty much doomed going forward, unless of course they are one off talents like Januzaj.
Having talent, dedication, and a bit of luck isn't enough. The kids today need breakthrough ability to reach the first team, which isn't likely to be easy given that we are about to embark on a buying binge of established players from the outside. Januzaj's success this year has likely obscured the long term reality that the pressure for us to keep pace in the league will mean less risk with youth players and more reliance on established players from other clubs.Bit of a hollow statement.

We're not gonna be able to keep up with City and Chelsea if our sole strategy is to spend big on sure things. We need to be better than them at scouting and we need our academy to be better than theirs. Coincidentally, those are two pillars Moyes leaned on to keep Everton ahead of other clubs of similar stature and I'm sure it's a big part of the reason why Sir Alex wanted Moyes to succeed him despite his having won sweet feck all in his career. There's currently a revamp of the English youth development system happening which hopefully will allow us to produce Welbecks - if not Adnans - with more regularity.Having talent, dedication, and a bit of luck isn't enough.

Not really, there's one thing being a good player but then another being good enough for Manchester United.Youth players are pretty much doomed going forward, unless of course they are one off talents like Januzaj.
We may as well just scrap our whole youth set up then.Youth players are pretty much doomed going forward, unless of course they are one off talents like Januzaj.
Yeah but don't you find it shocking the Cole not once went on loan and has just been sold? I just don't get it at all. I'm not saying he would have made it here, but surely a loan move would have been better for us.Can't say I'm surprised. I never thought he looked that good for us. Same story with Cole although the latter's been hampered by injuries.
He was never good enough for our first team. Everyone knew that.The writing was on the wall when he got done for drink driving not long after is debut in the league cup. At least his dad won that bet.
I think he was a victim of poor timing TBH.Yeah but don't you find it shocking the Cole not once went on loan and has just been sold? I just don't get it at all. I'm not saying he would have made it here, but surely a loan move would have been better for us.
He did stagnate I agree with you. Even for the first half of last season I was wondering what the hell happened to him and then in the second half he really transformed and started banging in the goals. Hopefully this move works out for him and he builds a career. I also agree that I don't think he would make it here, but it would have been nice for him to have gone out on loan and for us to see for ourselves how he does in a first team environment.I think he was a victim of poor timing TBH.
When he was due a loan his injuries made it difficult to get him a good club I think.
He looked a talent a couple of years ago but he stagnated and to be honest he was never going to make it now.
