Such a lazy and easy thing to say. It’s the go to comment when discussing young players on Redcafe. It shows a real lack of knowledge on the group in question though.

It’s a long time since there was a crop of this quality all coming through at roughly the same time and there would need to be serious questions asked if only one of them makes it.

Not really lazy or easy. PL football is a different breed. Looking extremely talented at youth level is rarely an indicator of whether they will make it in the first team, the step up is massive, especially with the pressure that comes for playing at Man United on top.

Already I have seen an improvement in his ability to bring others into the game. I reckon the coaches are hammering this into him. There is no doubt he is an arrogant git but anyone who plays elite sport has that arrogance. I think ( and hope) that he will improve all aspects and we will have a superstar on our books ( along with a healthy bunch of the rest of them). I really like Igrabimov and Kukonki

Sounds like a Russian hooker describing her nights work.

Trying to guess the future is pointless.

This is a very talented group of players, and we are so far from the top that it is not that difficult to promote players in the current squad. We also have got a coach that likes to promote young players as well.

RVN, one of our all time best strikers, was definitely most interested in scoring goals. It all depends on how you set up your team. Preferable to have a Messi for sure, but there aren't that many of them around. If there is one thing our team is crying out for, it is a player that regularly scores goals.

Exactly. Of course there are situations where a player should have passed but United have missed that gaol machine for a while now as you say. Not saying he is first team ready yet but it’s like his determined to score and we should be cultivating that energy.
