Well yes
What if he flops majestically and ends up playing lower-league football in Scotland? We might see this headline:
Obie to Airdrie: Gab's career dies.
football fans seem to have an horrible music taste, why they put this shit songs in every compilation?But did you see that stepober? Something else, he is.
I was more interested in him than anyone else and I missed it too. Spooky.
Id like to see what his shooting technique is like, whether he has great power or accuracy? anyone know?!
I know for sure we have some serious potential here, I also love he aint affraid to stand up for himself will fit right in with giggs, roon, vidic, evra etc...
The appearance the other night was a real eye opener and confirmed a few things, he can dribble very well, he has amazing pace, good vision and weight of pass, a real team player and isnt scared to show what he has got. This is the place where he can grow into a world class talent. I am very excited.
The question begs though, how come he was only 3 mill??
Also i had to sound knee jerk but he does things which nani still cant do, like simple short passes and keeping the play flowing. He has a good footballing brain for sure.

A lot of people get criticised for basing a players ability off some Youtube vids but
from all the vids that I have seen since his signing, one thing that caught my eye
was his ability to get into good positions and play a better placed player in.
If SAF can work on his finishing and end product, we might have a cracking player on our hands. Fingers crossed.

Has accuracy, but shooting from the ground is not his strong suit. If the ball is in the air, he can hit it with decent power, but if the ball is rolling towards him or rolling on the ground, he is around Anderson's ability.
Well you're obviously a good judge of a youtube clip. That's exactly what I've noticed from watching him in full games.
You've based that whole sweeping statement on that one goal against the England U-21s, haven't you?
If not, please explain your basis for such a wild claim?
I watched the Game against CSKA again and Obertan gave a lot of good passes to Rooney, the passes Rooney has been berating Nani for, and guess what, he did not do much with them, he either gave them a heavy touch or did not control the first touch well.
If Rooney and Obertan work together, they may strike a good passing relationship.

The only extended highlights I have seen after he signed was the France/England U21 game and even then he seemed a handful
for the English defence, and Obertan caught my eye for his unselfishness.
Looks like the footballing brain and skills are there, I am 100% sure SAF will
make him a more complete footballer yet.
Did that very well against CSKA, I thought. Beat a man, cut inside, rolled a perfect pass to Rooney or someone else in a dangerous position near the edge of the box. I was hoping he'd be played through with a rturn pass, but Rooney wasn't looking for it. Maybe he will next time they play together.
Does this make sense to anyone else or it it just me?
I take it you're familiar with his work?
I noticed that.
Wild claim indeed, but knew either you or R_Nick will jump on it. These claims are not based on any extensive research, but a few videos of him, the chance he got against Blackburn. You don't need to see a Gibson more than once for you to know that he has a shot on him.
In this video, you will see how he shoots when the ball is on the ground
In this video you can see how he shoots when the ball is in the air, with decent power
His chance against Blackburn in the reserves
His chance against Barnsely
Chance against Blackburn first team
Goal against Monaco Ball in air.
These were enough for me to make those wild claims
I can see why you understood.
You might not have noticed, but you seem to follow pogue and continue to hammer and pile on posters, especially those who are newer than you or just got promoted. But in due time most of us will be in a position to start throwing the regular words around too {Weird, odd individual, absurd, retard, clown.. Who promoted this fool, ..}, I am still studying tendencies.
But in due time, in due time.
Not many people on here actually are newer than me, and I don't 'follow' anybody around, but if two people sharing an opposing opinion to you leads you to that conclusion then you need to get out more.
Why did you delete your post asking what was unclear with what you said earlier?

I realized it was personal from another thread so I PMed him to get it sorted, did not want to pollute this thread.
Sorted. Boss walked in while I was typing and I hit the sent button in a hurry.
Now that I have more time, I guess he meant Rooney did feck all with the ball
once he received the pass, something that Rooney had been admonishing Nani for failing to do. Make sense now?
Wow, this is impressive, you must have experience working with people who are still learning English. Good job of putting what I tried to say very well.
Its being picked up by the media as well
Is Ronaldo’s successor simply staring Fergie in the face?

I guess it helped that I always notice Rooney having a go at Nani, so I knew what you meant instantly. Don't think Rooney's action will do much for Nani's confidence.
By the way, good job on posting Obertan's videos. I hope he fulfills his potential here at United.
thats true, its just that you are a spamming bastard so it seems like you have been here longer than niall himself
To be fair, he's not the only one who's came to that conclusion.
I agree
I completely understand and agree with you here.. Rather have a player hit out once or twice rather than have a serial diver like Ronaldo or a everyday back/Ass breaker like Nani.. I hate players play acting..
Loved the trickery againest Ivanovic, he doesn't seem fazed atall when he gets the ball and is good at creating space for himself.
Looks promising for me
Looks promising for me
I didn't fancy him to play today
He came on, and he looked the part during his short spell on the pitch
Whether he goes on to be a regular or not, you can certainly see the promise Fergie must have picked up on

Reckon he's in with a good chance of starting against everton.
my only fear was his crossing ability, which after seeing his corners today i feel better about, very one-footed though
Now that we've got an easier run of games I can see him starting quite a few. He'll get a chance now to stake a claim for that left wing position.
Another bright cameo. Look forward to him getting a start.
