News: Youth Will Be Served - Academy, Reserves & Loans News 2012/13 [R]

Sometimes these decisions baffle me, he is happy to go to Juve to break into that midfield with addition of Isla and Asamoah or going out on loan and forgotten rather try to break into our midfield, if he goes out on loan/co ownership 5th club in 5 years.

 

I am sure we pay more than Juve for first team options, you just need to do something decent enough for the 1st team.

 

Crash and burn baby.

 

I might have scraped together two ********s if it weren't for the fact that United are stacked with under-18 midfield talent.

 

For which reason we will not buy a midfielder, and we wont play those U18 talent any time soon because they arent ready and we have to play Park somewhere so middle it is, the most useless position on the field, the U18 talent will move away because we neither play them nor pay market wages and we will curse them and declare nothing to worry as the next U 18 have great midfield talents.

 

Sounds great!

 

He will enjoy the Italian reserves. They overpay kids. Good riddance.

It's Petrucci time.

 

Morrison is an idiot and Pogba is greedy/has Raiola as an agent.

That's like being struck by lighting twice in the same spot in 2 seconds.

I'm not saying all our current talented youth will get a chance/make it but they all won't do a Morrison/Pogba either.

 

You are right about both but still they should have gotten games when we had an injury crisis rather playing Park Rafael, unless we decided to sell them back then.

 

I must admit the lack of playing time for both last season was concerning, but we all know that Ferguson is a stubborn old mule.

 

No they won't. But they are also not likely to be nearly as talented as either. Pogba was a Gerrard in the making, but more technical. Morrison could have been anything he wanted. We don't have anyone on our books who either possesses the spikes that Pogba has or the overall talent that Morrison had.

 

I personally dont think it was. Pogba wasnt ready, and you cannot reward Ravel's poor behavior and training etiquette with first team appearances.

 

All of that means nothing if they're destined to fail because of their attitudes/decisions.

 

For me there are two ways to keep young talent, give them first team opportunities and give them enough exposure to keep them interested not to the stupid extent of Arsenal but more like we used to specially if we think someone is a special talent.
Two pay them market wages so the others cant attract them with that aspect, cant see the 2nd happening for many reasons we could surely improve on the first.

 

Pogba is nowhere near Morrison in terms of prodigiousness.

In fact, he isn't even anywhere near Petrucci at the same age.

 

Hope lives

 

That is a pretty absurd conclusion.

No-one wanted him in the same way no-one wanted Wilshere from Arsenal when he was 18. You are not going to tempt fans from a destination club when they are 18.

 

He was a prodigious talent at 18; he is hard working despite his injury hell and says the right things. What's not to like?

 

1. I don't agree with "nowhere near" but I never suggested that Pogba and Morrison were on the same level.

2. I said that Pogba had spikes that reached levels that no one in our academy can match.

3. Where Petrucci was at the same age is irrelevant. Petrucci will have to be catered to. He's not enough of a goal threat and lacks the physical attributes to be played further forward and he isn't a box to box CM or defensively astute enough to be a holding type player. The chances of Petrucci fitting into our senior set up are as negligible as John Terry's conscience.
