Manchester United - Not arrogant just better. We'll do what we want! (U16264)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't have a vendetta against him. I just don't think he's any good. And so far I haven't been proved wrong.......

This time last year I was saying the same thing and people said just watch him next season. Now we're here and people are now saying just wait till next season when he's had a full season.

Starting to sound like scousers with the next year thing.

6 years and he's no better than he was in his first season which is still his best season for me. If you haven't made it in 6 years then you never will.

SE85

It was a dead rubber for US but not for Galatasaray. He will have learnt more from that game then a whole season in the Championship.

And the Chelsea game was a proper game against a Chelsea side full of stars.

I'm not saying he's ready this season but the boss purposely kept him at United this season and gave him some tasters of the types of opponent he'll be up against.

I'm saying that next season he'll get a few more of these games (especially if Anderson leaves) and will come through the ranks like Scholes did.

i.e, not going out on loan but slowly waiting for his chance in the first team.

Stretty you just don't have a clue do you mate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm SE85....not stretty....he's somebody else.

More than you fella. It's your article that has just been laregely mocked and disagreed with......not mine.

Ando hasn't done it in 6 years. what makes you so confident that number 7 will be any different? Blind hope?

Well that article was a bunch of nonsense, pretty much everything said was wrong, that's either someone who clearly doesn't watch United or a troll.

Rob, I hope you're right about Powell, would love for him to do well but I must admit I haven't seen anything yet to convince me he will be a top player for us but that's not to say he can't or won't.

Mocked by JA606 users isn't exactly a sure sign I'm wrong. People on here think Kamran and Forza are clever...

Pretty much SE85. I don't think he's looked poor when he's played this season, especially early in the season. I'm not sure next season will be any different, but I think unless he does something worthwhile, next season has to be his last.

Also, it is fairly offensive to call SE85 Stretty

Oh look another poster (manutd1982) thinks you're talking through your backside OP.

I don't have a clue though apparently.

' He will have learnt more from that game then a whole season in the Championship.'
How can you honestly say that?

Powell played against Cluj after the galat game and he was very unimpressive, he hasn't featured in a first team game since then. I think fergie came to the con'cluj'ion that it was too soon for him at this level.

Next season won't be any different. Like the previous 3 or 4. Every year I'm told on here that next year will be his year.

It's been more Tom Cleverely's year than Ando's. He's on the bench because he's not as good.

Scholes, that was terrible

I think Powell will feature heavily in the early FA Cup rounds, especially if we get lower league opposition, and the League cup next season. It is the same thing that happened to Welbeck, Cleverley, etc, they play cup competitions for a season or 2 before breaking in to the first team. I think next season might be one too early for Powell, but we'll see.

Personally I think that may be the funniest pun I have ever written!

I also agree in that I think Powell would feature in League Cup games and the like next season but that's if he stays with us, which I doubt he will. I reckon he will be loaned out to a championship side, remember he has only turned 19 there is plenty of time to nurture his talent. And a season in a good, competitive league would be better for him than the odd game in the league cup in my opinion.

I think a loan out to the Championship would do good for Powell, the step up in standard from League 2 is actually very big, the Championship has some very good players and he would learn a hell of a lot from playing a season there.

Scholes Tackling Coach

The thing is that Powell has played a full season in league 2 (40+ games) and taken that side to Wembley and gotten them promoted. That in itself is something that gives him vital experience in another side while playing against beastly older men and still managing to pull off pieces of sublime skill.

The boss must have taken note of that and it's why he didn't send him out on loan this season. Powell has starred in the under 21's for us and I personally think that he's ready to be a benchwarmer for us next season.

Rob

I think maybe the reason Ferguson didn't put him out on load straight away was because he wanted him to acclimatise to the United way. His development will have been very different to players like Cleverly and Wellbeck who have had Rene Meulensteen coaching them over the years and have great control and movement. Powell is still very young and learning and I'm guessing a season with United training and getting used to our style was far more beneficial to a loan but maybe next season now that he has a year of that in him a loan might help?

Hahaha! Did you actually just use the old "someone else agrees with me so you're wrong" argument?

I never expected this article to go down well on what is widely regarded as the worst football forum around for member quality on most other sports forum sites. But it was a good laugh in any case.

Everything about JA is great, except for the users, like yourself, who make up 85% of its hits. Great site for a laugh, not the place to talk abou football though. In any case, everyone knows a new midfielder would potentially make our midfield better, but a team 15 points clear doesn't NEED anything.

By widely regarded as the worst, I'm assuming you're basing that on opinions other than that of your own, and that of people who have presumably been banned from here? This is the 3rd or 4th time you've made either a completely nonsensical article, or made generalisations and sweeping statements against a group of fans and been shown up as a complete tool.

I don't disagree with a lot of what you said there but as for Powell, he'll be in the first team next season. Not every game but similar to Cleverley last season.

The boss said he won't be going out on loan and has given him tasters this season.

Powell has done his season outside the Prem and has the talent to play a part in our CM next season, if only 10-15 or so games.

3 seasons at least from becoming first choice

Yeah he'll get games, of course he will, he'd had a taste this season, but I'm talking how far away he is from being that top top player we need, and that won't be next season. Even 3 seasons might be asking too much

No Jay. It's from knowing, having tried loads of different sites, and discovering that this one was hopelessly poor for discussion, but good for a laugh or two, and realising I wasn't the only person who'd discovered this. You lot on here, on all boards, are so uninformed, yet gobby, it's absolutely astounding, and hilarious.

Your previous post was actually case in point. Condescension, coupled with extreme assumption. Then slagging off what I've posted, slagging of me personally, and then an outright insult.

How exactly do you think people view JA606 when THAT is the caliber of comment you get when jump to the defence of their beloved site over a simple observation?

So yeah. Cheers sweetheart

Ridiculous article. We need at least 2 midfielders not 1 if we want to start challenging for Europe again.

Wrong. But for a shocking decision RE. Nani, we'd be 3-0 up vs galatasaray instead of Madrid. Worst comment of the thread. Poor start newbie.
