You must be lost for words describing teams like Huesca if Sociedad were «horrendous» today.Watched him for 45 mins today. Sociedad are horrendous, and he looks like he's right at his level

Mate my pub league team would beat Real Madrid 10-0, easy. A measly 2-0 win for Sociedad today, amateurs.You must be lost for words describing teams like Huesca if Sociedad were «horrendous» today.
Another 5 years?He's a huge talent, just needs time to mature.
He has done wonders for the transfer forum threads tbfWait, has he done anything to warrant all the 'bring him back' posts or its just the usual caf obsession with our youth players?
Sorry, but all you’ve done is confirm people’s opinion in your post that he has a shit mentality. He is professional footballer and a talented one at that. He should be professional enough to focus on the job he’s been tasked with.Had nine starts under Van Gaal in two seasons... people were losing their shit about it at the time given how he was one of our star performers in the Moyes season.
He was then given zero starts by Mourinho before being flogged to La Liga.
A lot of his bad attitude rep comes from his time at Dortmund when he was accused of having his mind elsewhere ie. United.
The loan to Dortmund was a stupid idea and Sunderland wasn’t particularly great for him either given they were battling relegation.
Felt like he was never given a fair crack at it under either of our last two managers, one who was bat shit crazy and the other who never gives youth a chance.
Real Sociedad seems like the first
time in a while he’s been somewhere where he can develop and get plenty of game time. Hope he does well there.
Mate Sociedad scored a penalty in the first minute and the rest of the match they did absolutely nothing,nothing. Like the rare occassion they got the ball to the final 3rd it looked like they didn't have a clue what to do. Then Madrid must have had 90% of the ball but were not creating much,only person who was remotely like a threat for Madrid was Vinicius. I turned it off at half time because Madrid didn't look close to scoring while Sociedad was just plain shite, just awful and they were putting me to sleep. If they somehow survived then nicked a second goal good for them but can't make me change my stance on them 1 bit.Mate my pub league team would beat Real Madrid 10-0, easy.

They were horrendous, Valencia who are same points with them are equally terrible. If I couldn't watch a game between Sociedad and Madrid I doubt I'd be able to watch the likes of Huesca for two minutes. This is the first weekend in years I decided to watch all the La Liga matches and the only game I could force myself to watch till the end was the Athletico vs Sevilla gameYou must be lost for words describing teams like Huesca if Sociedad were «horrendous» today.
And how is Adnan meant to change that? I understand what you are saying but crucifying one player because his team is shit against one of the top teams in the World is crazy. Newsflash, Ronaldo and Messi wouldn't be half as effective playig for West Brom and the likes. Janujaz has been their best player this year and he has actually showed a great attitude in tracking back and general demeanour. The point is that he can play on the right, he was one of our own and neither Mata or Sanchez have provided anything from the right that he couldn't currently, all the while he is relatively young and they are reaching the end of their careers. He wouldn't be a starter probably but he'd have provided a better squad option if he was kept than what we have currently. SAF built his sides with the likes of O'Shea, Brown, Fortune etc. Not every player was a wonderkid or anything like that. We'd be in a better position if we had sold Mata, never signed Sanchez and just kept Adnan. At the very least a much better position financially.Mate Sociedad scored a penalty in the first minute and the rest of the match they did absolutely nothing,nothing.

When you say this year do you mean all 6 days of it or this season? Because he’s certainly not been the latter.And how is Adnan meant to change that?

6 days of what? I don't understand the question.When you say this year do you mean all 6 days of it or this season? Because he’s certainly not been the latter.
You said he’d been their best player this year, but he’s only started 6 times this season. Plus that accolade is much more likely Oyarzabal’s.6 days of what? I don't understand the question.
Ah I see. Obviously he has had his injury problems but when I've watched him he has been their most impressive IMO. Also they are struggling hard so it's hard for an attacking player to shine. I think he has lost the attitude problems and one of the most impressive things is how he works hard for the team. Again I wouldn't sign him but I now wish we had kept him because we are so light in that position. It's all speculation now though. I hope he does well and think that he can someday make the step up to a CL club and be a good player. He definitely has the talent to do so.You said he’d been their best player this year, but he’s only started 6 times this season. Plus that accolade is much more likely Oyarzabal’s.
I agree he seems seems a bit more grown up now, even looks wise. Yeah, I’m probably with you on about we should have kept him, certainly would be a nice option to still have - mind you, he could have ended up being our Walcott. We shall see, I’m still unconvinced he has shown enough consistency for any CL club to take the punt, but his talent has never been in doubt at that level.Ah I see.

Didn't say he was supposed to change anything, I didn't expect him to. He looked right at his level in a shite team and stilllooks as average as he's looked since the last times I saw him play for us 5 years ago. Every player ever who was bought by a big club from a shit club was bought because they stood out, it's kind of the only requirement. I don't know what's with the Ronaldo and Messi point, it's frigging Adnan who I wasn't even sure where he was playing before yesterday we're talking about. Wasn't even good enough for Dortmund. Or the SAF point, he's retired. Because he won stuff with average players doesn't make it a managerial requirment for us or that all our managers should do it.And how is Adnan meant to change that?

No, just no! Might as well bring Memphis Depay backTbf if he continues to impress for Sociedad and we have a permanent manager that focus on building a squad instead of short-term fixes I can see him being resigned for a squad role. The likes of Barca did it all the time with their former youth players. Right now we don't have any senior right winger that actually do something on the right wing.
Depay is a rapper now. Would rather have Januzaj.No, just no! Might as well bring Memphis Depay back
I don't want either. They failed at a big club and have found their level.Depay is a rapper now. Would rather have Januzaj.
Depay is doing much better than januzaj.Depay is a rapper now. Would rather have Januzaj.
Depay plays for a big team in a shite league. Januzaj plays for a shit team in a big league.Depay is doing much better than januzaj.
Depay is streets better than Januzaj and much more professional at his job even with having the audacity of have a hobby making music.Depay is a rapper now. Would rather have Januzaj.
How does this make one better than the other?Depay plays for a big team in a shite league. Januzaj plays for a shit team in a big league.
Still better than full time footballer JanuzajDepay is a rapper now. Would rather have Januzaj.
What’s the relevance of that? So by that logic soceidad players are better than Mbappe?Depay plays for a big team in a shite league. Januzaj plays for a shit team in a big league.
We don't really need another left forward.No, just no! Might as well bring Memphis Depay back
What kind of logic is that?What’s the relevance of that? So by that logic soceidad players are better than Mbappe?
Mbappe plays for a big club in a shit leagueWhat kind of logic is that?
How is Depay definitively better than Januzaj, when they play at completely different environments? What about the fact that Depay, an established international who had at least 3 full seasons of first team experience when he arrived, failed horribly in England while Januzaj was coming up from the academy and reserves, had a much better season? If you mean overall talent then perhaps, but if we are talking about bringing either one back, I think I"d prefer the one who has actually enjoyed some success here in the PL where it matters.What’s the relevance of that? So by that logic soceidad players are better than Mbappe?

Well, when he’s not on the bench he is.
1:06 -- Good assist for the winner. He's currently playing at a higher level than Man United believe it or not...
You were rightHe's mostly been on the bench lately. Not because he's been terrible, just others like Portu have been better (Oryazabal is an automatic pick as the other wide forward).
Yes very nice assist v Granada. Could be enough to get a start tonight at home to Leganes who are bottom.
