Traore coming in against tired legs rather than him ******* around for the first 60-70 mins before being hooked
He's built more like an nfl running back now which can't help him endurance wise. Get him the * out of the gym.
 
End product is pretty ordinary. More like a young Aaron Lennon for me unless his output improves dramatically in the next few years.
Zaha's wasn't much chop either a few years ago, United saw potential in him but didn't persist with him obviously.

All pace and the likes of Ince and Bolasie were seen as better footballers once upon a time.

Reckon there's something to work with with Traore. He makes good runs, just have to work on his finishing/finesse game.

When was Bolasie ever seen as better than Zaha?

Zaha was always going to be a top player, the United move just happened at the wrong time for him. He’s always been hugely rated and his game was never just about pace.

About 6-12 months before his Everton move, we were interested in him too but baulked at the asking price.

Was seen as a more consistent payer then, his ACL injury has been a big setback for him imo.

Zaha was seen as someone who had immense potential

A lot of players also have had immense potential too but never went on with it, Zaha has only just became a star this year imo.
 
You lost your best player so wouldn’t call it a win. Why he’s playing dogshit for United is a mystery, but he’ll come good again at some point
He was rubbish for the most part of his last six months.

He's also played his best football - won't reach the heights he did at Arsenal for United IMO.

What's the contract situation with Eden? Should never let a player like Hazard at his age get down to 1 year remaining on his contract. Will he sign anytime soon?

Nah, he'll wait until the end if the season. If he's happy and back in UCL he'll sign.

Yes, yes he was. Zaha was fantastic at Palace which is what prompted United to buy him.

126 Championship appearances and just the 13 Championship goals before he went to United for half a season begs to differ

He had potential but he was no where near the finished product that he is now.

Since he made his PL debut at United, he's played 148 PL matches and scored just the 25 PL goals.

In his last 69 PL matches since the start of 2016-17 he has scored 19 goals, that was around the time Bolasie went to Everton was it not? Just the 6 goals in his first 79 PL matches is pretty average, 65 of them were at Palace (2 at United and 12 on loan at Cardiff).

He was moved upfront in the back half of last season, but he started scoring goals more regularly once Bolasie left imo (CBF finding assist numbers, but his scoring spiked once Bolasie left).

You mean when he was 18? And playing as a midfielder? :rolleyes:

It's not all about goals.
