Love the fact that we have so much young british potential at the club - Zaha, Jones, Smalling, Cleverley, Powell, Welbeck, Evans. Exciting times ahead.

Indeed. Although evans isnt british but i know what you mean.

Always a good backbone for a Manchester United team to have
 
He was very good today, he still has a bit of the Bambi on ice about him when he runs with the ball and needs to work on his close control, but he's a great athlete, very strong and has the skill to be groomed into a big player, he's surprised me.

Another thing I liked today was he created two chances that didn't involve crossing, he cut inside and slipped a lovely pass into the Palace striker in the second half, and late on the Cryuff turn and long pass from inside his own half that put Phillips through was class.
 
Watched the first hour and he was the only good thing about it. He's the sort that makes things happen and gets everyone on the edges of their seat.

He frustrates as much as he impresses at the minute (expected) but has bags of natural talent. An exciting signing for sure.
 
NI is in UK not GB. Dont worry its usually only sad pathetic pedants that point it out...

I don't know Jonny, but I reckon there's a pretty good chance he identifies as British. Although, in reference to the original point, he's 25 and has played 150 times for the club, so he probably doesn't count as a youngster any more.
 
So Jonny Evans couldn't serve in the British army, then?

Anybody from Ireland either north or South can serve in the British army.

Also Ireland-the part of the island that is independent(erroneously referred to as the republic of Ireland for many years in British acts of parliament) is technically not regarded as a foreign country or are its citizens regarded as aliens. Hence Irish people can vote straight away in Uk elections upon living in the UK.

I love how they've felt the need to explain in brackets what "mandem" means. As if everything else said here makes absolutely perfect sense to the average, normal person.

Where the hell is that from?:lol:

Play offs is the first time I have watched Zaha in two full games and he clearly has a lot of talent and potential. Surprised by how strong he is and how difficult he is to push off the ball. Clearly he is lacking a bit in the decision making/end product side of things which is typical of young wingers but he's looks very exciting.

I think he will get straight into the first team squad next season and was expecting him to probably be loaned out to Palace for another season. He's worth developing with the first team straightaway.
 
Herve, who goes goes by the gang name Zeltor, outlined his chilling lifestyle in a 2009 post on social network Bebo.

The Daily Mirror also claims to have seen an online music video of Herve posing with members of DSN.

What they seem to have missed in the story here is that the "chilling" post on Bebo is clearly lyrics from a gangster rap. They even went as far as to say on the later quote about him being in rap videos.

fecking load of shit about nothing based on that evidence.

The link posted above. It's surprisingly amusing.

I think we'd be mad to loan him out anywhere. I've only paid any attention to him since we signed him, but he strikes me as someone who'll be far too useful to not keep around.

Plus, the most frustrating thing watching him at Palace is the amount of times he'll be in a good position but whoever's on the ball wont have the quality to either see him or pick him out. It'd be a waste sending him back there.

I think we've signed him when we have because the time is right to bring him into the first team squad.
 
Every single time he got the ball today, he did something exceptional. His final product was poor, unusually for him, but he was still beating his man/men with ease. The service to him was terrible, Palace really struggled to get the ball to him despite the fact that he was being marked much less rigorously than against Brighton.

Now imagine him getting the ball as often as Valencia does. :drool:

Well he looks a natural winger and also someone who can score goals. If we are selling Nani, I would have no problems with Zaha taking his squad place on what I have seen in these two games. Nani's obviously a better player but Zaha looks a very exciting youngster. Very happy with the first signing we have coming into United this summer. Just need to sort the central midfield out and make a decision on Rooney.
 
Bang on Ole. If Rooney stays then a starting CM and a back up youngster (McCarthy type) would make me very happy this summer.

I don't want a lot do I? Imagine a United fan wanting 2 Midfielders????

Is what I'm hoping for as well. Not even that fussed with the back up youngster just the starting central midfielder. If Rooney goes, we will need to sign another quality player to make up for his loss.
 
:lol: very true.

We were driving through it the other week and I shit you not, there was a house whose feature wall in the living room was just a massive Union flag, to make it even better there was a framed picture of the Queen, on the wall. All very tastefully done, of course.

Anyways, back on topic. First time Ive had a real look at Zaha and I was massively impressed with his power, pace, trickery and direct running. He fecking tortured their fullback. I'd hope his end product improves dramatically, though.

As I'm not the average normal person, would you like me to explain what the rest of it means?
