Paul Pogba, Ryan Tunnicliffe and Ravel Morrison will all be getting slated for not being United quality.
I know this, because a few years back, Tom Cleverley and team mates at the time were praised just as highly as the above three are being now. Before him it was Darron Gibson being touted as a future United CM mainstay.
When will people learn that young players need playing time in top teams to become top players, and while loans to Watford and Wigan are invaluable for experience, you're not going to suddenly have a world beater from a couple of seasons playing for them.
Don't be impatient, don't destroy our young players by writing them for before they've ever had a chance in our team. The only games TC has played for our senior team EVER are pre-season tour games in the USA, where frankly, he was brilliant.
Most importantly, don't forget this in a few seasons time when your writing off Tunnicliffe or Pogba after a poor run of games or a costly mistake.
In a few years...

Yeah ok then.
People who bigged him up clearly were on drugs of some kind.

That means little - Anyone might have said the same about Rossi failing to get into an awful Newcastle team en route to the Championship when he was on loan there. Now he is Barcelona's top transfer target.

Ravel Morrison will be in prison by then.
Has no self control off the pitch.

Any young player on loan wasn't gonna get much game time in a struggling team. Nobody trusts inexperience. Big difference between Rossi and Gibson I think you'll agree, Rossi's talent was apparent very early on.

No he isnt. His agent said today barca have no interest in him any longer due to sanchez.
And rossi was nowhere near newcastle when they were going down, he was there about two years before that.

Now you're just WUMMING!
D. Gibson has never been thought of as being Man U quality. This is a player who, while on loan at Championship side Wolves, couldn't even break through their first team. He spent almost the entire loan playing reserve team football at Wolves.
That's why it was such a shock to see him return to Man U and become a first team squad player!

"D. Gibson has never been thought of as being Man U quality"
Says who? Who made you the official arbiter of who is, is not, or ever was "Man U quality"?
The fact that the manager gave him a contract to play for Man Utd and played him in the PL, the Cups and Europe makes it clear that he thought he was of the requisite quality, so I don't know by what authority you are dismissing SAF's judgement.

He gave bellion a contract etc
He makes wrong decisions just like any else.
