Rooney on Arsenal.....

The Ox is quite fast but his pace is certainly not his main attribute - he is technically good, more than proficient with both feet, and has a pretty strong physique. He strikes the ball very cleanly as well. I feel he is too frequently bundled together with Theo because they are both (supposedly) pace merchants who came from Southampton. The Ox is a much better footballer even if Theo has so far been the more effective player.

Eisfeld > Januzaj

posted on 7/11/13

januzaj is like muniain both much better then oxlaide chamberlin. In fact januzaj gives us more of a cutting edgem its like he plays a free role in between midfield and strikers drifting from each side. Januzaj has been man utd stand out player this season, rooney got some goals yes, even hernandez to has been outstanding. RVP has been shocking with crucial misses this season. He probably cost us wins and a couple of draws.

Was absolutely gutted Chamberlain got injured against Villa. He had a fantastic pre-season, much in the same way that Ramsey and Giroud did, and looked like he was getting himself ready for an outstanding season.

No they are not, one plays for the champions of England, the other plays for a team that celebrated 4th place.

You can see clearly that they have different aspirations

I meant against chelsea he didn't connect on a volley from 4 yds out. He hit the bar against southampton when he should have scored. Missed a sitter against liverpool at the end of the game around the 87th minute. Should have made it 2-0 against sinderland but dragged it wide. Missed 2 golden chances against sociedad and one against shaktar.

Its strange though man utd seem to be getting better and better but are struggling for results because we are struggling to finish off our chances.

I managed to see quite a few of the Ox's games for Saints and was massively impressed with him early on, especially against Milan but the past year or so he has been very disappointing but I know that doesn't mean much.

Januzaj clearly has bundles of talent and ability and seems to have a level head but it's way to early to know what will happen to him in the future. The potential is there, but he needs a bit of luck too, no major injuries, lets not get carried away just yet.

I think Ramsey is the perfect example of a player who had much promise early on for it to go badly for a period to what we can all see now. Football fans are very fickle, one day and player can be $hit and needs to be sold immediately, the next he's giving everyone boners.

januzaj does look like he will be a good player. It would be wise however to see him play a bit more before you decide hes better than Ox or anyone else. Bit like when it was confidently stated that Kagawa was better than Hazard and Silva before he had actually played for United. I'm also assuming that not one is daft enough to still believe this.

kagawa is rubbish, he seems just to thread through balls. It may have worked in a dortmund side who run with a lot pf players but man utd don't play this way.

I remember when we were shít, we would take pride in our youngsters being better or having potential to be better than United's current players. Unsurprisingly, when you know the present is woeful, all you have to look forward to is the future. Now the shoe is on the other foot, surprised how quickly United have come to terms with their fate but there you go.

Touchy. What's got your testes in a twist?

I can accept the argument that Januzaj may be a better player than Gnabry at this moment in time. But it's not by much, not at all. At very similar levels.

I'd say the same about Ox as well Kami (though to a lesser extent), still a long way to go yet for both players. Lots of minds made up very quickly for me.

Touchy? Come on man, don't take life too seriously. The point I was making is that playing for teams like Utd is a step up to playing for Arsenal

I'm sure Özil will wholeheartedly agree..

A perfect example, not considered good enough for Madrid but looks a king at Arsenal.

Seen Januzaj many times playing at u18 and u21 level and to come into the first XI seamlessly (actually improving us) as he did at his age is incredible. The guy has skills in anbundance, a terrific attitude and absolutely no fear whatsoever

Trust me on this. he's the real deal. He isn't even playing in his preferred position either for the first XI yet looks miles better than anything else we have on the wing already.

In my opinion, he's heading for the very top

I liked something Moyes said. He sees something in Adnan that he has not seen in a long long time. Moyes will guide him carefully and rest him here and there.

Been saying for a while we had a potential superstar on our hands.

The only thing that will stop his rise are injuries for me

I think we'd have a better idea if Kagawa had played in his proper position much. Or been given the managers confidence and a run of games.

Januzaj is a number 10 like kagawa. Look how good Januzaj looks on the wing

To be fair Macca, he has been used to Victor Anichebe

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

Just because one player can adapt to another role, doesn't mean all of them can.

Kagawa has looked much better in the few times he has had a cameo towards the end of games in a no.10 role.

Janujaz is probably very good, I refuse to judge his talents on highlights and I haven't seen United's youth for a while. I remember thinking how good Pogba was for you on the wing but that's it.

HOWEVER, Gnabry is also a huge talent. I mean this guy has it. He's not only lightening quick and built like a brick sh1thouse, he's got the technical ability, cleverness and drive to match. I've seen this guy score absolute scorchers in the youth teams and he very quickly outgrew the youth set up.

Comparing Januzaj to Gnabry isn't insulting to Adnan, it's just that he's playing more often than our Serge. Aside from Zelalem, I'd happily state that Gnabry is our biggest youth talent to emerge recently.

Don't get me started on Gedion Zelalem.
