Yeah, Isco and James would have to settle for a spot on the bench.The scary thing is, Januzaj would suit Real Madrids fast moving counter attacking play so well.
Eep.

Even if this were a valid concern, the proper time for it would have been last season before we signed him up to a five year contract. We can now match Madrid's spending power, whilst offering any outfield player a better chance of game time (because our team is worse than theirs). So a contract ending in 2018 means no-one, not even Real Madrid, is getting their hands on Januzaj against our will for at least two or three more seasons.The scary thing is, Januzaj would suit Real Madrids fast moving counter attacking play so well.

Ugh, bad timing. Still, if it's just a knock he could be fit for West Ham, which might be a better opportunity anyway. After all, he's done plenty of impressing against small teams in his time with us already. What he needs is proper Premier League game time.Got a knock so not involved today

Yeah, that tweet is bullshit. Rooney had racked up well over a 100 PL appearances by the time he turned 20.Even more than Rooney?
What top clubs would sign him now and play him more than us?Sounds like he knows that he'll probably have to leave to get regular games and prosper.
If top clubs keep on vying for him then our only hope he's very patient and loyal
He played the last two games in a row and only missed out on a third because of a knock. Now would be a very strange time for him to want to leave to get game time.Sounds like he knows that he'll probably have to leave to get regular games and prosper.

None.What top clubs would sign him now and play him more than us?
It says "for Man Utd".Yeah, that tweet is bullshit. Rooney had racked up well over a 100 PL appearances by the time he turned 20.
Ah. Good point. Rooney may have had slightly less, in that case.It says "for Man Utd".
Ah. Good point. Rooney may have had slightly less, in that case.
Rooney had 35 games for United before turning 20 according to another tweet I saw (which I can't find anymore!)Even more than Rooney?
That's some logic there.He has done quite well for his age and position, i really do hope we keep him, wouldn't mind loaning him out though, he would have been our Sterling if our midfield was as terrible as Liverpool's.
Even though he plays up front for Liverpool apart from when he played at the tip of a diamond in a 3-0 win at Old Trafford in a 'terrible' midfield.He has done quite well for his age and position, i really do hope we keep him, wouldn't mind loaning him out though, he would have been our Sterling if our midfield was as terrible as Liverpool's.
Its a fair point but it doesn't need to be a top top club. He'll see what Pogba has done and if he continues to feel like he won't be fully utilizing his skills then he'll wish he was elsewhere where he's shown more respect. I do think he's a lot more level-headed than the likes of Pogba though so maybe he's just happy for the opportunities.What top clubs would sign him now and play him more than us?
Considering LVG broke the PL transfer record to sign a much riskier player, how'd you figure that out?Its a fair point but it doesn't need to be a top top club.

I don't think many here would say he's at the best club for his development right now would they? He's too risky of a player for LvG
Not comparing performances or anything like that, just saying if we didn't have quality players like Di Maria,Mata,Rooney etc Januzaj would be getting more games like he did last season.Even though he plays up front for Liverpool apart from when he played at the tip of a diamond in a 3-0 win at Old Trafford in a 'terrible' midfield.
The Sterling comparisons are becoming increasingly strained.
Agree or Disagree?That's some logic there.
You don't agree or disagree with magical thinking. You just nod and move away.Agree or Disagree?
Your midfield is as "terrible" as Liverpool's. Better on paper but being better on paper means feck all.He has done quite well for his age and position, i really do hope we keep him, wouldn't mind loaning him out though, he would have been our Sterling if our midfield was as terrible as Liverpool's.
LOLYour midfield is as "terrible" as Liverpool's. Better on paper but being better on paper means feck all.
Err yeah, firstly like I said you might have the bigger/better names but your midfield isn't functioning any better than ours is. If anything it's worse, basically every thread you read on here has someone complaining about how your strikers are starved of service...LOL
Coutinho - Henderson - Can - Sterling - Gerrard -Lallana - Lucas - Allen - Markovic
Di Maria - Fellaini - Blind - Carrick - Mata - Valencia - Young - Rooney - Herrera
Every single player in our midfield has had at least 2 MOTM performances this season and have scored 24 goals combined compared to your 28 goals, despite most of them being out injured or played out of position.
So what would you rate them on ? even though both our strikers have basically been useless this season,we have created more assists, had a higher % of possession,that also includes passing accuracy and successful passes... i understand our midfield hasn't exactly been spectacular - but that may be due to the fact that we have been struggling with injuries, a lot of fans don't even know our first 11 as we haven't had the chance to watch them for a full month.Err yeah, firstly like I said you might have the bigger/better names but your midfield isn't functioning any better than ours is. If anything it's worse, basically every thread you read on here has someone complaining about how your strikers are starved of service...
Secondly, rating a midfielder's performance on goals is pure nonsense. I don't think our midfield is great but I don't see how a Man Utd fan can think they have a midfield unit that is clearly better.
well, that might be in regards to Real specifically.No he wouldn't. He'd be too slow for them.
What??? I can't think of many threads complaining about the strikers being starved. It's mostly that the strikers aren't quick enough. United's midfield is stronger than Liverpool's hands down.Err yeah, firstly like I said you might have the bigger/better names but your midfield isn't functioning any better than ours is.

Even more than Rooney?
For United? Rooney joined in 2004-05 and played 29 games in that season and I think he turned 20 by the time 2005-06 season rolled out.Yeah, that tweet is bullshit. Rooney had racked up well over a 100 PL appearances by the time he turned 20.
Sterling is miles better. People need to give this one up.He has done quite well for his age and position, i really do hope we keep him, wouldn't mind loaning him out though, he would have been our Sterling if our midfield was as terrible as Liverpool's.
How many of them were for Everton though?Yeah, that tweet is bullshit. Rooney had racked up well over a 100 PL appearances by the time he turned 20.
I don't really buy into it for what it's worth, not to the extent others do at least, but you just need to read the Falcao thread. Every 2nd post is "oh, but he doesn't get any chances, the midfield is to blame".What??? I can't think of many threads complaining about the strikers being starved. It's mostly that the strikers aren't quick enough. United's midfield is stronger than Liverpool's hands down.
The context of that statement was regarding starting role not performanceSterling is miles better. People need to give this one up.
Grauniad actually has a better way of looking at this, number of minutes played for United as a teenager.Tweet
