I have no idea, but I hope so - and that he shows it this year.
Who here has some idea if he is the real deal or not ?

I'd say probably around Welbeck's level: Decent for a midtable Premier League club.I have no idea, but I hope so - and that he shows it this year.

That never happened, we never had the squad full of Greenwood level (or his talent) players. We always had good squad players who played important roles.I'd say probably around Welbeck's level: Decent for a midtable Premier League club.
If you want to be a regular for Manchester United, you should be at least Greenwood level. (I'm talking about the Manchester United we all know we should be, rather than the inconsistent Manchester United of the last 7 years)
Understand what you’re saying. But I feel you’re being a bit harsh. Players do improve over time. He seems to have the right attitude at least. If he can keep improving his game, he could be a very useful asset for us. Seems to be a very good dribbler as well.I'd say probably around Welbeck's level: Decent for a midtable Premier League club.

Elanga at 18 was already much stronger and more balance than Welbeck. Welbeck is faster though, I think the worst scenario he would be at moody inconsistent Martial level.Far too early to say, but there's clearly something there. Worst case scenario he's Welbeck level is my view.
One thing Elanga has over those two players you mentioned is physicality.Hopefully he is the real deal. Seen too many high potential.players come through into the first team and not kick on from there. Januzaj and Macheda etc spring to mind. 2 lovely goals in 2 games from him and he looked good on the ball as well.
Pellistri I think will be the one that makes it and will live up to his potential.
Sometimes you need players like Fred, Mctominay, Fletcher, O’shit, Brown, Hernandez, Welbeck, Lindelof, To come in and do a job.
Elanga is rapid. Wouldn't say he is slower than Welbeck is/was.Elanga at 18 was already much stronger and more balance than Welbeck. Welbeck is faster though, I think the worst scenario he would be at moody inconsistent Martial level.
This!Not even getting remotely excited about him yet, far too early, and seen so little of him at the top level.
What the hell?Sometimes you need players like Fred, Mctominay, Fletcher, O’shit, Brown, Hernandez, Welbeck, Lindelof, To come in and do a job.
I don't know which Man Utd is he talking about since we had players like JOS playing for us quite regularly even during our strongest phase as a club.That never happened, we never had the squad full of Greenwood level (or his talent) players. We always had good squad players who played important roles.

Yeah, we never had squad full of great players or great talent. We always had players who were mid-tier and contributed really well.I don't know which Man Utd is he talking about since we had players like JOS playing for us quite regularly even during our strongest phase as a club.
Rashford won't like that.He’s fast, looks hungry, seems very strong for his age, has solid technique so yeah I think he is real deal.
Amad clearly has a very high ceiling. Amazing technique and intelligence. Whether he's physically ready for the first team is unclear. But he's going to be an absolutely lovely player.The strange thing is people rave about Amad saying he's ready for the firsts etc, yet Elanga is far more developed and ready to make the step up, yet no one is raving about him!
Seems like that parable about an elephant bathing to me.
The feck with this disrespect dude. O'Shea may not be a superstar but he has played important roles for our team and score important goals as well, with that last min goal against Liverpool the one top of people's mind.Sometimes you need players like Fred, Mctominay, Fletcher, O’shit, Brown, Hernandez, Welbeck, Lindelof, To come in and do a job.

You don't disrespect a player who nearly played 400 games for us and willing to play in any role to help the team.
