any ideas on the futures of both Powell and Zaha?
Do we think they'll be given a crack any time soon?

1.) 30 Jun 2014
Both should be on the preseason tour for LvG to take a look at.

2.) 30 Jun 2014
Perhaps we should give actual crack - you'd get some tricky wing play from Zaha then.

AJH, it will be difficult to get hold of now Rio has left :)

4.) 30 Jun 2014
Will be interesting to see if Zaha gets a chance. SAF saw something, Moyes didn't - what will LVG think.

IMO zaha is potentially a player that could well flourish under LVG. will he listen? can he be coached? Apparently depay has similar issues and LVG manages him well, I think he has a 50/50 chance and as with most of the players it will be up to him.

Rooney has more than enuff crack,

Oh I see wot u mean now ;-)

I really don't rate Zaha, looked completely out of his depth in a poor Cardiff side in which he wasn't even first choice. Has pace and some skill but his decision making, work rate, passing, movement and final ball are all well below the standard required. I know he's a young lad, but the murmurings from the United camp last season were that he thinks he's made it already so he couldn't be arsed to apply himself in training.

Danny, let's wait and see how LvG gets on with him in preseason. It seems everything Moyes touched turned to sh!t. Zaha is a cocky lad, players like that need to be loved and last season he wasn't. Then moving to Cardiff must have been a major blow to him when Young is getting picked ahead of him. If he isn't strong enough mentally then LvG will figure that one out in a heartbeat. Depay is also a pain in the arse, but LvG seems to get the best out of him. IMO he should be given a chance before he's sold.

I think this season we will start off with a strong u21 squad and lvg will work on them to get them playing how he wants. Those who perform will be given a good chance around the first team, but if they don't buckle down then they will shipped on.

I think Powell could make it. Zaha just seems another example of his own hype. England debut far too young to stop him playing for the Ivory Coast and then a big move have gone to his head.

The thing is he was given lots of love by Ole at Cardiff and he still let him down time and time again until he was dropped. In my opinion, Zaha was bought on the cheap because Fergie lost out on Hazard and Lucas. Zaha looked decent in the championship because he wasn't required to do any defensive work and got to play against weaker defenders. When he had to step up in the EPL and raise his game, he just wasn't good enough, and he got completely found out at Cardiff.

I agree with danny, zaha doesn't look ready for united. Lots of rumours about attitude problems as well

12.) 30 Jun 2014
Id send him on loan again to another prem side and if he does'nt prove himself there then he don't deserve another chance at United

13.) 01 Jul 2014
Hey just think arjen robben 1st season he did not set the world alight at Chelsea nor did bale or Ronaldo let give the kid a chance before writing off zaha I used robben as a cocky player in reference too a quote earlier I think if SAF was there last season we would seen the better side to him

14.) 01 Jul 2014
In my opinion it may be crunch time for zaha now as if lvg gets him performing to his potential he will be a great player but if he doesn't buckle down then he will be out of the door. For me there are comparisons to a young Ronaldo as in he has the tricks and pace to ghost past opponents but doesn't try things at the right time. As stated his delivery at times is poor too (just like a young Ronaldo or present day nani) and this needs work on. Essentially it all boils down to if he has the drive to better himself like Ronnie did or if he wishes to just toss it off and potentially never have the career he could have. That said he hasn't had long at the club and hope he shows enough in training to get a opportunity to show if he has got what it takes.

Clearly has skill and talent, maybe needs a stern manager to put him in his place, was Moyes the man to do that? Not really haha.

It'd be nice if he got his head down under LVG seeing as we've already spent £10m on him.
