Tahith Chong

Another impressive outing against Derby u-23 earlier. Big talent...
 
I didn't realise Castillo was already at the age of playing U23, but apparently he's already 18 now?

De Jong really isn't a 10 to me, nor is Memphis a 9, but I guess we can always hope that 5 years from now there's some wonderkid striker coming through that's there ate 18 like Kluivert was back in the day haha

Baars isn't rated here at all, no.
What about Buitink?
 
I remember the tackle, real shithouse one from some Everton clogger.

It was pathetic, because he actually did him twice. Took Chong's knee out which clearly did the initial damage. Then Chong came back on and the same player took his knee out again.
 
Reminds me very much of Best when he’s on the ball. Has a similar gait and posture. It may be the shock of dark hair looking at him from behind that helps jog the memory but that’s who he reminds me of.

By the way not for one minute am I comparing them on a football level or even suggesting he’d get anywhere near Best.
 
What is his height?
Looks very tall. If he's still grows, what effect would that have on his dribbling?

on a wet day he'll be around 6 inches shorter than his current 6ft 6inches shows (incl hair!...ie. he's 6ft). But seriously, imagine the kid on a wet rainy day in manch, be like a long haired wet poodle...can't wait!
 
Looks like a fantastic prospect. Has the acceleration of a Bale but also possesses great dribbling ability and control on the ball. He can go as far as anywhere with his talent.

That was actually a shit pen.

The way he took that ball down was sublime, completely bamboozling the defender.
 
Hope he will continue to grow as a United player, and finally we might see another flying winger at Old Trafford.

Man, I miss the days when United crossing game is excellent and very on point. Pun not intended. Maybe a bit.

I know, Beckham, but the attackers movements were sublime too, not like today's very static, very predictable straight lines. Perhaps, only last night's Lukaku goal is anywhere near the quality. Anyway, derailing from the thread.

Another exciting prospect. :D
 
I think we should be patient and let him enjoy himself this season. Include him on the summer tour, see how he does and if he impresses maybe give him a sub appearance or two in the PL when we are comfortable. I don't believe in blooding youngsters in the League Cup because we play weakened team in those games and it's a scrappy affair most of the time. Get them on when they can showcase their talent.
 
Is his song gonna be based on the thong song?

Chong,
Cho,
Cho,
Chong,
Ching.
 
It would be nice to see Chong and Gomes go on the tour in the summer.
With the WC which will many of our players won't be available, I'll be shocked if both of them aren't going to the summer tour provided there's not a youth international tournament.
 
He’s looking frightening this season. As good a youth prospect I’ve seen playing in England at the moment.
 
Maybe you guys can send him back to us on loan. We have some shite wingers we need to replace and he’s from Rotterdam anyway :p

our weakened teams look much stronger than League two sides for sure, the problem is that if we play away from home we can't control the game that well. Can see him thriving at Old Trafford, would be a much different game even against a championship side. He's that kind of player who wouldn't look out of place at all playing him instead of someone like Rashford who loses ball quite often and Chong is a better dribbler
 
Would like to see him get a game at the end of the season and maybe a loan spell for next season. We're currently full of talent on the wings so barring an injury crisis he probably won't get a look in for a while.
 
Looks like the real deal.. It will be all down to how far he wants to go if some freak injuries dont stop him ..

Chong,

I think it should be more like:

Rip it up
Move down
Rip it up
Move it down to the ground
Rip it up
Cool down
Rip it up
And get the feeling not the word
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Wang Chong tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Wang Chong tonight
Everybody have fun

:D
 
Am I only one who thinks that haircut isn't suitable for speedy wingers?

Sane and Salah disagree. Salah might not be considered a pure winger and their hair might be a bit smaller, but they are both speedy. The point still stands.

How does the point stand when their hair is not even close to being similar? I'm not even sure if you are being serious about Salah. Chong's hair is a good 6-7 times longer at least.

Jesus, who cares about his hair. It makes almost no difference
 
Will he be playing in the UEFA Youth league game against Brodarac on Wednesday?

Proper footballer this lad. Better winger than any of our other players(potentially obviously) who are inside forwards not traditional wingers.
 
Some of you are hyping this kid up too much. He looks great at this level but no need to go crazy, all that does is heap huge pressure on him.
 
glad that horrible injury is not affecting his speed and pace at all.

hope he can grow and become our flying right winger, it has been a while since we got someone with genuine pace and dribbling ability down the right wing.
 
Fergie wouldve asked him to cut his hair. He did the same with Baby.
