What is everyones opinion of Januzaj? As a spurs fan I think he hasn't lived up to the huge hype about him when he came on the scene. Seems too lightweight and afraid to run at people or commit defenders. just wondered what the united community think of him.

Lightweight needs to beef up

he did seem to have bulked up a little towards the end of the season, maybe we were developing him this way last season, I said a few weeks ago, I think he will have a much better season this time around.

You think he hasn't lived up to the hype? He's just turned 20, he has a lot of time to do that. The English media like to talk teenagers up so when they inevitably struggle for a bit they can call them failures.
In the under 21s he is a class above, sometimes it seems a bit unfair on the defender trying to mark him, he just needs to make that step up which is sometimes easier said than done. You don't have as much time at the top level and every mistake is criticised, hopefully this year we will see some more improvement when he plays for the first team.

he hasn't lived up to the hyp no, icant remember the las united game I thought crist the januzaj looks a good player! so no he hasn't progressed GDS2.
There are young players that have lived up to the hype so wondering what's happening with him that's all

Januzaj is a brilliant player, maybe needs to bulk up, but LvG is the best manager for this. Adnan said recently that he wants to stay at United and become a legend, so he also seems focused and determined. He will be better this season with a few more appearances.

The lad needs a run of games, just like anyone else. Whether that's with us, or on loan at a good Premiership side. This stop-start thing won't help him in the slightest to progress.
I still have very high hopes for him - I can't forget some of the performances I've witnessed from him in the U21s, and in the full team last season.
A bit more strength, and a bit more maturity in his decision-making, and I still think he'll be a top player for us.
I remember people having the same doubts about Ronaldo - the whole show-pony thing, but he turned out alright.

I think he needs a good season just to remind people what he can do. he's gone bit quite last year or so that is all I was saying, he has bags of potential just needs to show t a bit more
24 Jun 2015 12:53:18
He either becomes a Giggs or an Eagles. Fingers crossed for the former!

boddey,
I would agree with you there mate, lots of potential but didn't quite show it last season, there is a lot of time for him to do that though, we are too quick to judge young players sometimes. Shame he isn't English, 3 good games next season and we could get 50 million for him.

I think he's a 20yr old that like most 20 yr olds is inconsistent. The boy has amazing talent and as long as he works hard and keeps his feet on the ground he could reach the heights of other very good players.
If in 3 years it's the same yes he was over hyped but for now he's allowed to be a young inconsistent player while learning his trade.

if he was English city would be offering 70 mil for him haha. just think he needs to get his head down and maybe take few more risks when on the ball. seems like all he does is pass sideways because he's scared to lose the ball. get to the by line and take the full back on and whip dangerous balls in, u do that and van persie will improve his goal tally as well. I would try and build the team around him in the cup competitions and see if he thrives being the top dog and give him the freedom of the park. I'm sure you united fans aren't that bothered if you get knocked out of the carling cup so take a few risks with the boy.
