Indeed. Plenty of time for Tunnicliffe. Should follow the same path as Cleverley.No real rush. The whole of next season on loan would do him good too.

What makes you say that? He's never come across as anything but a dead honest, dedicated player well aware of his limitations as far as I know.Tunnicliffe can stay there as far as I'm concerned personally. Has very little talent to me, and seems to believe he is actually a bigger deal than he is.
Will gladly eat my words if he makes it, but I don't see him making it as a Premier League player, let alone a United one.
He's a strange one is Tunnicliffe. He started off looking decent, he then seemed to look better technically than I originally gave him credit for but when he returned from his loan he didn't look as great as I was expecting.Hope he does well, but he really hasn't progressed as he needed to in the last 2 years or so if he really is to make it as a first teamer here.
I know the Cattermole argument has been done before, but I think Tunni will end up being a poor man's Cattermole at the moment, unless there's a drastic change somewhere along the line.
I'd say he's an exception. And he was at a PL side and playing regularly.Tom Cleverley?
Cleverley was in the Championship at Tunners' age. Evans and Welbeck were down there too. These days, a Championship loan is as likely to be a step on the ladder towards the first team as an indication of not quite good enough.I'd say he's an exception. And he was at a PL side and playing regularly.
The vast majority of young players who're out on loan in the Championship never end up making it long term.
Hopefully he impresses and can get a regular PL football next year with someone.
That's nonsense. Most of the players who have come through the youth system at Utd, and broken into the first team, have followed a similar path. Loaned out to Championship, come back to train with first team squad, go back on loan to Championship, come back to first team squad - maybe a League Cup appearance or two, go on loan to a Premier League side, then either move on or start playing regularly for Utd - look at Evans, Cleverley, Welbeck - they all followed the same path of progression.A bit of a dissapointment that he's not pushing for a first team place. Seems some rate him highly but at 20 he needs to make the breakthrough soon if he's ever going to.
At least if he's loaned out he's playing, but the Championship is nowhere near the standard of the PL. Shame he couldn't have been loaned to a PL club in January.

Is Rozay some sort of ITK?What makes you say that? He's never come across as anything but a dead honest, dedicated player well aware of his limitations as far as I know.
opinions are like arseholes my frieidn, we all got them but to win leagues you need a mixture and 9/10 he does his job. It's not all about Ronaldos and Messi's. He's a tough tacking midfielder. Maybe you expect too much? He's not that type of playerTunnicliffe can stay there as far as I'm concerned personally.

That isn't true in the slightest.Tunnicliffe can stay there as far as I'm concerned personally. Has very little talent to me, and seems to believe he is actually a bigger deal than he is.

Which is why he'll be a PL player. Not talented enough for United but he has excellent work ethic and he'll get a good career out of it.He is great in some much as he puts in 100% every game and his will to win is huge. However, I don't think that is enough to make it at United these days.
I thought his loan at Peterborough was successful? Seem to remember reading positive reports from his performances from their forums.But I won't write him off just yet, lets see if he has a better loan with Barnsley than he did last year.
Think it was a little mixed. I think he benefited from an injured to one of the other midfielders (McCann I think) and was out the team once he came back.I thought his loan at Peterborough was successful? Seem to remember reading positive reports from his performances from their forums.
He got games, but I think he'd admit it didn't go as well as he would have hoped. Obviously I didn't watch the matches so I don't know how he performed but I think it took injuries for him to get matches.I thought his loan at Peterborough was successful?
