Oh yes - Lionel was never gonna live up to the expectations of his older brothers Matias and RodrigoBetter than Nick Powell!
Based purely on the fact that the younger brothers are generally hyped up as the better version despite it never materializing
Do I get a prize?!Number 25 at Crewe, give Valencia the number 7!
Calling it
Seems to me you only told us what number he is at CreweDo I get a prize?!
Maybe gets involved in the Carling Cup (what's it called now? COC right?) and maybe in the FA Cup. If he can do that in his first season, then he can be proud.Getting the feeling he will be more involved in his first season than I had previously thought.
Something to look forward to.
I was taking about young players being hyped up over their also incredibly hyped up older brothersOh yes - Lionel was never gonna live up to the expectations of his older brothers Matias and Rodrigo
Not to mention Cristiano who struggled to match his older brother Hugo
Will Keane hyped to be better than MichaelI was taking about young players being hyped up over their also incredibly hyped up older brothers
Cases in point
Anton Hyped up to be the second coming of Rio
John Rooney being better than Wayne
Jonathan Dos Santos better than Gio (who knows)
Rafinha better than Thiago (who knows)
Who knows with some of those but generally the predictions are rubbish
Quite possibly, I havent seen him play. My point is the younger brothers are always hyped in the media as being an improved version yet rarely are.JDS looks like he might be the exception in that list.
Did that EVER happen. Wayne Rooney has to be one of the most hyped youngsters in the English League.I was taking about young players being hyped up over their also incredibly hyped up older brothers

I read an article when we signed Rooney saying we were after John as well who they claimed had the potential to be better than Wayne.Did that EVER happen. Wayne Rooney has to be one of the most hyped youngsters in the English League.
Bizarre statement to make. SnobI don't expect an ex-Championship player to be involved in any Premier League games.
He was a league two player, but that's not the point. He was far to good for that division, even at his age. The chap's 5 months younger then me.Maybe gets involved in the Carling Cup (what's it called now? COC right?) and maybe in the FA Cup. If he can do that in his first season, then he can be proud.

Just because he played in a lower division doesn't mean he won't get any premier league games.Maybe gets involved in the Carling Cup (what's it called now? COC right?) and maybe in the FA Cup. If he can do that in his first season, then he can be proud.

Exactly, all got to start somewhere right? look at Kagawa, played japanese football, then went to start for Dortmund just 1 year later.If he's good enough he will get games, doesnt matter where he came from
Very true, from Japanese second division football straight into Dortmund's first team.Exactly, all got to start somewhere right? look at Kagawa, played japanese football, then went to start for Dortmund just 1 year later.
Cerezo Osaka were in the top division the season before he left as far as I know.Very true, from Japanese second division football straight into Dortmund's first team.
Le Tiss is on of Xavi's all time favourites too.When I look at Nick Powells goal - I can't help thinking about Matt Le Tissier. Supergoals, excellent ballcontrol but not lightning quick - a bit arrogant!
And of course as Le Tissier probably is the player not involved with United I have liked the most in the P.L - this could be fun
Wait, Fergie asked director of Crewe if Nick can play as a central midfielder and he said yes, and fergie will now develop him as a cm.Sir Alex discussed Powell's best position with Gradi, having seen him operate mainly as a deep-lying forward for Crewe. "I asked Dario if Nick could be a central midfielder. Dario thinks that's his position and Nick does too so we're all in accord. We hope he'll be a central midfield player and that's where we'll develop."
Dario Gardi would know best in fairnessWait, Fergie asked director of Crewe if Nick can play as a central midfielder and he said yes, and fergie will now develop him as a cm.
What's wrong with that?Wait, Fergie asked director of Crewe if Nick can play as a central midfielder and he said yes, and fergie will now develop him as a cm.
yes, it was dario gradi, no more need be said.Wait, Fergie asked director of Crewe if Nick can play as a central midfielder and he said yes, and fergie will now develop him as a cm.
Boom! 'Crisis' over.Sir Alex discussed Powell's best position with Gradi, having seen him operate mainly as a deep-lying forward for Crewe. "I asked Dario if Nick could be a central midfielder. Dario thinks that's his position and Nick does too so we're all in accord. We hope he'll be a central midfield player and that's where we'll develop."
You have to remember that Powell played as a CM, Winger and CF for Crewe. We obviously saw the talent and signed him based on that, but it would be unclear what his best position is. The Crewe supporters I know have all said CM, and apparently he was only moved further up the pitch because he was scoring from midfield and the other strikers stopped scoring.Wait, Fergie asked director of Crewe if Nick can play as a central midfielder and he said yes, and fergie will now develop him as a cm.
Its pretty much an ACM by any other name, just with more license to move into the final 3rd but a little defensive responsibility.I heard of deep lying midfielder but a "deep lying forward"
