You're doing now exactly what I've said you've been doing. You're waffling about something that was said in another thread for no good reason. Also, no one laughed at the notion that the Welsh youth set-up is ahead of ours, they laughed at the idea that Ramsey and Allen are better than...

No, but Allen and Ramsey did. I was also talking more about their national set-up. If you've actually watched the youth teams of England and Wales, you see how stark the difference is. I know all about the EPPP, St. George's Park and The Future Game Document, I actually made a thread about...

Smile these paranoid delusions you seem to have would be comical if they weren't so creepy. I'm English, I've said nothing to suggest that I'm not, and the only reason you (and you're alone by the way) are saying I'm not English is because in the face of any sort of reasoned arguments you...

9 times out of 10 that would have ended hilariously.

I've seen Hughes play, that's why I'm so confident that he's not at the level Wilshere was. You can see his touches aren't there, he doesn't shield the ball as well and is getting hurried in possession. That's not to say he's not an exciting prospect, but to say he's where Wilshere was is crazy...

You mean like you've just been laughed at with your remarks about Verratti and Thiago? Argumentum ad populum. Doesn't prove anything. Nor do your ad hominem attacks... You seem desperate to find a reason to dismiss my points instead of contending them.

It's much easier to lazily dismiss a point than actually articulate a reasoned counter-argument I suppose. Allen and Ramsey were both developed by Welsh clubs. The Welsh youth teams are taught to play a much more possession based style of play than the English ones are. These are facts.

You'll struggle to find many people outside of England that think Wilshere is better than Thiago. Beyond both being left footed and playing in the centre, they don't have the same playing style. Wilshere knows to control tempo, while Hughes has it dictated to him by the opposition. He can't...

I know what overrated means, it's fairly self explanatory. People are rating both players too highly. Arsenal fans are saying Wilshere will be the best midfielder in the world in a few years, when Thiago and Veratti are about the same age and probably better than he is. And you yourself have...

Overrated. That's not to say he doesn't have fantastic potential, but he doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Wilshere and media hype is going way overboard. Definitely not on the same levels of technical ability and composure that Wilshere had at that age. Still impressive, but...

Pritchard got four goals and two assists against a Peterborough XI tonight.

I's actually like to see what Welbeck could do in midfield. I'm just not sure he has the engine for it.

Looked a decent prospect at one point. I wouldn't pity him too much though. Sounded like he didn't give much of a fuck. Serious attitude problems apparently.

Really? I've thought he's looked quite average since coming back, to the point that he looks barely ahead of Jenkinson.

Difficult to judge Cleverley because as low as you'd expect his ceiling to be due to his limited technical ability, he does seem to keep getting better. I certainly don't think he'll ever be a great player, but he'll probably do a job for United for quite a while yet.

Awww he's t'rific.

This Alex Pritchard kid looks a player.

Hurry up and buy will Hughes.

I could have told you that weeks ago.

In Newcastle that would be considered the language of love.
