Really hope he gets his act together. The talent is there.

I have bad news. You've been in a coma for three years. Januzaj is now 22 years old, gone on multiple loans and failed to make an impression anywhere he's been since his first season. He's no longer the kid you remember.
@ Sunderland no one looked good or did well really. Defoe did because he sat upfront on his own and was the only goal outlet

in my opinion we don't and it doesn't
Fixed it for you, if you spoke on behalf of all our fan it would take our collective IQ level to the low fifties.

Anyway.

How many left footed, left sided wingers are there out there for under 10 mil?

He's been underwhelming for United, Dortmund and Sunderland, and has now moved to the might of Real Sociedad - and on top of that almost every manager he has had has implied that he has character issues.

Why are certain people so desperate for this guy to do well, when all they do is criticise our actual players.

I'd have Lingard over him 999 times out of 1,000, because, although he doesn't have more than average PL level talent, he actually gives a shit, which makes him 10 times the player Januzaj will ever be.

The same could be said about those hoping for the kid to fail. In fact it shows pathetic character wanting other to fail especially one that used to be our own.

Nothing wrong with wanting the lad to do well for himself. Some might have grown fond of him during his time with us.

Though what's ridiculous is people like you getting surprised that some want to see the kid succeed. I mean are you for real?

It's entirely normal for someone to find it weird that anyone would give a shit about how a player gets on at a club they don't support. This phenomenon of having "favourite" players at various different clubs is a relatively new one, which will always seem odd to fans of an older generation. I literally could not care less if I never hear the name Januzaj again. The only players I care about play for Manchester United.

Fixed it for you, you arrogant tit.
Arrogates is a statement that implies that this person speaks for all fans of utd or someone that jump into convos just call someone a name with the belief that is profound statement

I really think he has the talent to do very well, I might watch more Spanish football this year.

Tend not to watch it, because it seems to be all about RM and Braca - used to watch Real Betis for Joaquin he used to be a favorite player.

I actually don't give a flying feck whether he succeeds or fails.

Mate, you said that @TheReligion is bringing down the average IQ of our fan base, I think that's a bit lower than me calling you a tit. You can barely spell, so don't make statements like that. It's not nice and not acceptable here.

I thought it was a well structured joke. @TheReligion.

I'm not bothered about the tit part, i like tits. I replied because of the arrogant part - you got that from one post.

Dyslexia is the reason for the poor spelling and before you start, this has no reference in IQ level of a person :-)

Please feel free to block me Lennon, as i have 2 posts left and i wish to post about football, not the acceptability of posts....unless your a moderator?

Anyway....Adnan to get more goals then Anthony martial? I think he will.

Nothing player really, one nutmeg and a chip finish against a third tier Spanish side isn't the hallmark of great things to come.

He has talent but then so do 90% of professional attacking footballers.

It's just a typical Caf knee jerk response. We had the same when Rooney scored a rocket for Everton pre season and Depay from range for Lyon.

At the end of the day Adnan got sufficient chances and he isn't a child anymore. Seeing him play silly beggars against a Division Three side won't change my opinion nor should it make you come out with claptrap like 'shades of Pogba about the sale'

Januzaj would add nothing to the current squad and we are better playing Rashford, Martial, Lingard or Young in the wide areas all of whom have offered the club far more productivity whilst in red.

He's gone. Good luck to him. If he does well we might look at activating the buy back option but right now he's not at the desired level.

Not 100% about young, hes been injured a lot over the past two years or so.

Lingard gets a lot of stick, but he does pop-up with a much needed goal, I do think he'll (Januzaj) out score martial - definitely young.

I guess I just miss a left footer on the left wing, these inverted wingers tend to pull the CB's across rather then push the RB back. We lack a wide player for our wings and it looks like we're going into the season missing one after selling one.

I mean... who is going the feed Lukaku from the wings? Tony V? that's.... so 2009

Yh no one actively hopes he fails. I just think he's always been a 'meh' player who looks like a bit of a sulker. Even if he went on to become a good player I have no issues seeing him go.

Well Januzaj hasn't fed anyone, let alone himself, in the past 3 seasons.. let's be honest.

Comparing the situation to Pogba was just silly and sensationalist.

wtf? :houllier:

Januzaj has scored 6 (six, yes that just over a hand full) goals in 103 appearances

Martial, who everyone thought was shit last season, scored 8 in 42 appearances and 17 in 49 in his first season with us.

I'm just saying, you can get temp banned for insulting someone's IQ. Was it bawls a joke.

Dunno why I care so much, just thought it was rude. Also, Januzaj is shite and has shown that through his failure at 3 clubs.

Having said that...I am a bit curious to keep a check on how Rooney gets on.

La liga's should suit him better than Epl.

If h gets his act together motivation wise he is still a special talent.

Having a bit of a dig at Van Gaal, the article is in Spanish but here are the translated quotes:

—¿Qué parte de culpa tuvo Louis Van Gaal en que no lograse triunfar en Manchester?

—No quiero hablar de él, porque todo el mundo sabe que hubo dificultades con él. No tuvimos la mejor relación, todo el mundo lo sabe. No fue fácil, es muy frustrante y difícil cuando te encuentras algo así.


- What part did Van Gaal play in your not succeeding in Manchester?

- I don't want to talk about him, because everyone knows there were difficulties with him. We did not have the best relationship, everyone knows it. It was not easy, it is very frustrating and difficult when you encounter something like that.

-Si marca un gol, ¿a quien se lo dedicará?

—A Van Gaal. Quiero marcar y dedicárselo a él.

- if you score a goal, who will you dedicate it to?

- to Van Gaal. I want to score and dedicate it to him.

Yeah van Gaal will hang his head in shame when Januzaj scores a goal and dedicates it to him. That'll teach him a lesson.

You want some cheese with that whine? People pointing at others for their own shortcomings is the least charming thing in the world.

He seems like a player who has a talent but doesn't have a head so to speak.

Why didn't he dedicate all his Sunderland goals to LVG?... oh wait.

He's scored 1 goal in the last 3 seasons combined... I guess LVG might have to wait a little longer for Christmas this year.

To be fair to him, Van Gaal was a massive dick to certain players.
