This lad just reminds me of Vassell. Other than being blessed with great pace, I don't see much else in him.

I'd sooner give players coming through the academy chances. Like Will Keane and Josh King. Plus we have Macheda and Welbeck.

Would be a waste of our time, money and effort in all honesty.

I've not seen anything exceptional in him to be honest, certainly nothing that marks him out as any more promising than the Luke MooreAnichebes etc. of this world. I definitely wouldn't rank him alongside Rodwell, Gibbs and Wilshere at this point.

He's mostly potential at the moment - he does, however, have an excellent record at youth and reserves level, as well as various levels for England. He does, however, need more regular games and I wouldn't be surprised if he goes out on loan next season.

Another of Scholesy's supposed talents, who will probably disappear just like Guthrie, who was once among world's brightest midfielders, did.

Ignoring the Pato comment for its sheer ridiculousness

What is it that you are basing this view on Delfouneso on in particular? What marks him out as so special

fecking ell Scholesy. To think I have actually agreed with you in an argument before.

How in the name of sane can you claim that Delfonso (feck the spelling) is better than Pato? :

Why don't you rate Pato either? His technique is brilliant, on Tuesday there was a huge punt up field which he brought down effortlessly and laid a ball to Ronaldinho. Just one example that should be enough to show you he is class.

Delfouneso - the speed of Vassel, the finishing of Heskey and the aerial awareness of Frank Sinclair.
