Look at the kid's reaction.
Kid is thinking feck this

Still a championship player. No composure, no football IQ, no awareness, bad shooter but thinks he's Beckham. There was a moment where Greenwood was open and screaming for the ball, he ignored him and passed backwards. He's lucky to be here and lucky to only have Lingard and Mata as competition.He played well today especially first half. That tweet just highlights a poor free kick. He had a lot of good moments otherwise
Don’t agree, he’s a prem player. Agree maybe not good enough for us but time will tell he’s played a lot better lately and improved. He’s a fighter, good touch, good on the ball, good eye for a pass. He’s not as good at shooting as he thinks he is though.Still a championship player. No composure, no football IQ, no awareness, bad shooter but thinks he's Beckham.

He is incredibly shit and I'm shocked that people don't see that. I guess it's because he sometimes does something decent. But if you study him you'll see how little footballing IQ he has. Always the wrong decision, slow touch, dirty tackler, shooting from every angle, no positional sense. He's by far our worst player. Highlight me in a year or two when he's in a Championship-team.
Just the fact the he does something decent sometimes already makes him a better option than Lingard.
I agree with almost all your points. He often makes the wrong pass, he shoots when he shouldnt be shooting, he has a terrible touch atleast once a match and he is quite a dirty and stupid tackler although his agression sometimes benefits the team with a early ball recovery. I dont think he will end in the championship though. He would be a good player for a midtable team in Spain or Italy i think.
He isnt good enough for Manchester United but his competition is Lingard, who has been playing like he does belong in the Championship, and Mata who has lost the little speed and agilty he had.

You're the one who makes the wrong decision, because he only does it ocassionally which means your choices were the wrong ones.

He is like a shite version of Cleverley

Jesus. Talk about OTT.
It's really not. He's really that bad.
His only redeeming quality is that he's a massive shithouse so he can tactially foul and harry players a lot.
What would Lingard version be ?He is like a shite version of Cleverley
Makes you wonder why he gets respect from players like Pogba.
Maybe just maybe he's a decent player and you dont have a clue what you're talking about. Actually theres no maybe
What would Lingard version be ?
Pogba also respects Lingard.
Tell me what either of them do well enough to play in the Premier League?
There's a player in there somewhere. One of the problems is finding what it is. As Jose said before he went on loan, ' I can't just manufacture a position for him, he'll have to establish himself.'
When he went to Valencia, he was quickly ousted by Soler so finding that consistency has been a problem for him. Can he play as a 10, CM of RW? I don't know.
He is also playing in a team that has had injuries in midfield and is very disjointed there. Naturally the focus has fallen on the lack of product in midfield but he hasn't been nearly as bad there in the last few games that I've watched. If the team finds that consistency especially if we get a settled midfield, we'll see a better player
He's been poor in 2 games as CM, then he was decent yesterday.
He was okay on the right wing, sent some good balls into the box that should have been scored from. But we have some wingers playing better than he was there for once - in the past it was Mata and Lingard, now with James we have a decent option.
But he's clearly been best as an AM in front of midfield. Thats where hes mostly done well with fewer poor performances.
As someone who follows and watches Valencia my bet is they'd still be happy to sign him depending on price. He's been better than Soler this season. They dont play with a 10 so he'd probably be put on the side of midfield again where he hasnt been as good for us.
I like his workrate and the fact that he's one of few that actually gets stuck in but the reality is that he's nowhere near good enough, not even as a squad player. There's always an overhit/misplaced pass or a poor touch that puts himself or a teammate in position to lose the ball. Makes you want to cry when you see the City-players passing the ball under pressure around in tight areas for fun.
