Deli Alli or lingard?
27 Mar 2018 21:02:22
I mean Alli is nearly 5 years younger and has still played more top level games and scored more goals. Lingard can become a good player, and is doing well this season. But Alli has the potential to become a world class player. It’s not even a contest.

I'm not sold on alli, good player i'm not sure he is as good as people like to make out tho .
As a England lad it would be great if he could go on to he world Class, I would have linders over him. at the moment but things can soon change .
Young been good for England tonight.

Alli is about the same age as McTominay, he is miles ahead of players his age in terms of development. He lacks consistency, but you wouldn’t expect that at 21. Wait until he’s Lingard’s age, and you’ll see a complete player.

Danny
I hope so but I'm not convinced, good player not sure about world Class.
27 Mar 2018 21:55:09
Danny, you may be right but he’s very unlikeable. I find him niggly and nasty and he does go missing. As you say he is still very young so he may grow out of it.

Jorginho looks good.

Leahy
Ed has said we tried to sign him in Jan
I like jorginho but he has the bit of the veron about him, could he handle the pace and physicality of the epl?
I don't see how him and matic works.
27 Mar 2018 22:39:06
Matic is slowing down a bit, introduce him gradually, he didn't do too bad tonight against the premier league players.
He is looking for the ball all the time, telling his team mates what's going on, and he can pass the ball.
A fine player. Heads up all the time looking for that forward pass.
Now I haven't seen much of him.

How about letting the youngsters develop in peace and with patience from us fans. It is in both their teams and the national teams interests to be allowed to make mistakes and mature. Players develop at different ages. Remember how Ronaldo took time to do so. One big thing which helps youngsters grow up and mature is to play and live abroad. Travel broadens the mind. I would love for Utd youngsters to have to compulsorily spend a year or two abroad at continental teams. We could do the same with youngsters from abroad coming here.

This season lingard has been better but dele has more natural talent. Whether he can translate that into consistency is another thing.

Jred - One from the memory bank, Berahino or Kane?
27 Mar 2018 23:54:15

Lost his way berahino, talented lad but drugs etc and footy don't go well together .
Kane is a good example had a good season, a lot of players have one good season, Kane got better the next season and then better the season after. That what's world Class players do they continue to improve .
I think alli had 1 decent season when he showed potential, Kane had a great season and backed it up .
Was alli good year that good do tho?
28 Mar 2018 02:18:58
Yeah I really thought LVG missed a trick not going for Kane when he was gettable (imo) . Not many people were convinced, I remember it being a good old 50/ 50 debate on here at the time.
Alli over Lingard long term. I think Alli needs to drop deeper rather than playing off the striker, he isn't in the game enough otherwise and his touch is too hit and miss at the minute.
Lingard should be like Park was, not the same but used in big games for big performances. Not effective often enough to be a main stay of the team, but can change a game and can do a good job from time-time - Lingard is a perfect squad player. I hope he improves, but I think Alli is another level with the world at his feet, crucial 12 months ahead of him though as he has stalled or gone backwards of late.

Yer he was on at his teammates all the time and I do like him as a player but international football isn't the epl .
I think matic has done well for us but I think we need a playmaker that is better than matic.
Good footballer jorginho just not sure he is right for the epl.
But I would be very happy if we signed, he really is a very good player.
