Januzaj on loan to Sunderland?

lvg has already treated januzaj as a striker:

The striker is Wayne Rooney and we also have Hernandez, Januzaj and Wilson.

rooney > chicharito > wilson basically offering more or less a similar game and only januzaj can provide additional dimensions to our current attack setup. really don't see lvg would allow januzaj to go out on loan this season especially this is inside his mind that januzaj has a pecking order higher than wilson
 
Surely I wasn't the only one who noticed how lively we looked in attack when LVG threw the youngsters on against Barcelona?

He has to keep them around for plan B purposes at the least? Januzaj should stay in my opinion.
 
No way we should let him go. I can't remember the last time Rooney had a good game for United and even though there's no way he won't be first choice we definitely need options.
 
Doesn't look like he's going to get game time here and I'd give precedent to Wilson for the backup attacking role, I'd be happy to see him as a starter for a premiership side this year and come back ready to compete for a first team place next season.

the 3-0 destruction of Tottenham is the last one that springs to mind.
 
Adam Johnson out for 8 weeks. Supposed to have a shoulder injury. I'm dubious.

Can we have Adnan sent to Sunderland ASAP? Many thanks.

if it means he gets minutes, then so be it. LVG clearly has no faith in him and if he can't even make it to the bench his career is not going to progress here.

Didn't Johnson get banned by the club and isn't he currently under a police investigation?
 
I actually think this could be a good move for him. The more games he gets under his belt can only be good for him in terms of his development.

Memphis on left, Mata or Pedro on right and Januzaj behind Rooney in the middle... if he can be more dynamic than Juan as a supporting attacker then why not but that's a still 'maybe'. Not sure about his firepower that we need badly.

Oh, I would absolutely love to see us give that a real try.

Rooney, Hernandez and Wilson offer similar qualities? Hmm not sure about that. In fact I think they offer 3 very different options. Rooney is all over the place and tries to do a bit of everything. Hernandez is more your typical fox in the box with pace to get in behind. Wilson, well I'm not sure what his game is based on? I think he's the kind who likes to run at people with the ball? That said yes I agree januzaj does offer something different again.

What's fairly clear to me though is that Januzaj is 4th choice behind them. So that means he's unlikely to get many minutes. Mind you I get the impression LVG isn't much of a fan of his.
 
Put in a clause that says he must play a minimum amount of games. I dont want to have a G.Rossi sotuation when we sent him to Newcastle and he barely played.

Then again Adnan might want to stick around and play in the CL etc.

He won't play in the CL though.
 
I think it will benefit both him and us if he goes out on loan.. I can't see LVG playing him much this season, as much as I'd like to see him given more of a chance, I don't think it'll happen this season.

Sunderland is a team where he'd be probably be in the starting 11 every week and those minutes will benefit him and ultimately us (if he comes back)
 
Why is this still being talked about? I thought it was just a rumour, is it anything more now?

I hope both he and Wilson stay, they will get more minutes, our squad has less depth in their positions than it did last season, and we have more games, they will get time here I think, including injuries & bad form they could really have the chance to stake a place for the XI, whether they do or not is another story but I want them to stay.

As a footballer you have to think positively. If we get the group games wrapped up early he might play more.

It's better to be realistic at this stage of his career and plan long term. He really needs a loan move.

oh yeah, wilson is so skinny rooney is so fattie & chicharito is so cutie, certainly they are different players you genius. they are all players nothing but finishers. apart from finishing they are all limited in build up play.

the major issue of januzaj is he is still young so that he may not be reliable. this is a time game to lvg hence his priority would be on those who can deliver immediately

Yeah, because finishing and build up play are the only 2 things strikers can be good at.

All 3 are completely different types of players. Rooney isn't actually a great finisher and I certainly don't think he's a natural whereas Hernandez is.

Completely agree with you! Rooney has so much more to his game than scoring and providing direct assists.

Yep, discounting his defensive work, his general positional play is sometimes forgotten, which was highlighted last season in that City game.

Wilson brings pace, and Hernandez clever runs and positioning, they really aren't all the same players.

Really? I kinda disagree.. In 09/10 & 11/12 seasons, he was brilliant. He's definitely a great finisher if he plays up top and stays there.
 
Id rather see him go to a team that will play attacking creative football. Also one with a good rep. Southampton / Swansea?

You'd rather he went to Swansea/Southampton than to Sunderland?
So you'd rather he sat on the bench half the time then?

He's a scorer of great goals but he's not a great goalscorer and I don't believe it really comes naturally to him. He has to work on it really hard and he's very patchy. For example I'd say with a very high degree of confidence that Ronaldo, Messi or even Hernandez would have slotted that Spurs chance away, probably first time... Instead he took a touch, couldn't get it out of his feet and allowed Walker to do the job.
 
seeing as both the player and manager have rubbished this, it looks like this can be put to rest now.

he'll get his chances yet.
 
I'd rather have one of him or Pereira play 30 games on loan and be ready to really fight for a starting spot next year than stay here and get 1000 minutes or whatever.

S- Rooney/Chicharito/Wilson
LW-Memphis/Young
RW-Pedro/Mata
10-Mata/Herrera

and one of Pereira/Januzaj/Lingard around. We really should just pick one of those 3 to stay around and loan out the other 2, even if it's to the Champo, where there are at least some teams playing decent football and they have a million goddamn games and no serious competition to get in the lineup.

Our loan dealings are always goddamn terrible.
