alright folks. any1 got any info on nick powell? would like to no where he stands with the club?
cheers

{Ed001's Note - he is available for sale, he has been guilty of a few attitude issues which have stopped him making the progress he should have. Talent needs application, he has been guilty of a lack of the latter. Shame, but it was probably just a step too far to join United that early, he should have gone somwhere he could get first team football first, then he would have had every chance of moving to United later in his career.}

Sounds a bit like zaha ed.

{Ed001's Note - naw, Zaha never had the talent he was being hyped to have. Very average player who just has pace and a bit of flashy flicks and tricks. Never had a clue what to do with them and never showed any signs of ever developing into a worthwhile buy. Powell had a real end product to his game, he was creating chances and scoring goals, not just looking fancy but achieving little as Zaha did. I will never understand what on earth possessed United to buy Zaha, whereas Powell just wasn't ready for the step up.}

Agree completely ed. I never understood the zaha purchase.

{Ed001's Note - I would really like to know what made the club bring him in. In the past I have managed to get hold of some scout reports on players and seen things mentioned I had not spotted that explain the thinking behind some purchases. I have seen a few on Zaha, not one said anything that suggested he would be any good at United, so I am at a loss to understand the decision at all.}

cheers ed

{Ed001's Note - you are welcome mate, I just hope he sorts himself out and knuckles down. He has real quality if he puts his mind to it.}

I'd love to have seen the scouting reports on Bebe :)

{Ed001's Note - now those would be priceless, as I am not sure he was ever actually 'scouted'. That was a very dodgy deal that one. Best not get to into that, though Kloot could probably add a lot more info if it is the real him about now.}

Wasnt Bebe and Manucho (as i recall) signed after recomodation (sorry spelling) from Carlos Queros our ass manager at the time? Remember Manucho was scouted in a play off in Africa Cup i think. And Bebe being an unseen signing after a tip also from Queros?

I know Powell he's from the area I live I played in teams with him at different ages and levels and he's quality he's come down the 6 aside where I play and literally can walk round people injured with jeans on he's that good. He definitely has had a few issues with his attitude he's not really into football I don't think he was ever a big lover of the game more the money from what his brother used to say. Hopefully when he leaves United I know a few championship teams wanted him when I last spoke to him a few months back he can finally get a bit of form together and get his head down
