Norwood, new Scholes? (1 Viewer)

UnitedScholesy · Apr 7, 2012

Hi everyone,
I am Manchester United fan and have interest in our young players.

My favourite young player is Norwood because he is a special passing player and his brain is special. He is very similar to Scholes as he can be just as effective playmaker.

I know this is a huge comparison but I think he is very special player. What do you think? ? And also, has he been playing as the deepest of the 2 central midfielders or further forward?

I enjoy reading your match reports and ratings

I think he had yet another good game. His passing is fantastic and effortless. He can make a 60 yard pass look easy. I would love to have him here next season, but that won't happen unfortunatey.

Would definately like to keep him here for another season, doing a stirling job for us...

He's shit can't pass, tackle and got no vision may aswell leave him here

jabharty · Apr 7, 2012

Fergie came to the right game for his sake, and the wrong game for ours. He won't let Norwood out of his sight now.
And, yes, he has the potential to be a top class player, and there will be a time when we will reminisce on his time here.

UnitedScholesy · Apr 7, 2012

Do you think he could play in the premier league, I would like to see with a team like swansea, next season on loan and then to start with United the season after. Do you think he has the same talent as Scholes?

scroobiustom · Apr 7, 2012

Actually was saying this at lunchtime, I think he will be a superstar.

Northern Ireland's answer to George Best?

WillieStanley · Apr 7, 2012

One word. Passion.He has it in abundance. He has the brain and skill to back it up. He can be everything that Scholes is, and as a bonus, he's not as rash off the ball. He's adopted our club as if it were his own and plays for the shirt. Definately one of the best loanees we've had at the club. We'll take him. Thanks UnitedScholesy!!

Wow, what club have you been watching?
Or were you describing most of Liverpool's midfielders?

He has always had good mentality. My worry with his was that he was quite slow at running and lacked stamina. But now he has been playing consistently in the Championship which is quite physical so hopefully he has improved this.

I think that's probably the right route for him. I'd love to have him back for another season, but next season at a lower Prem team could elevate him as it did young Sturridge.

torchomatic · Apr 7, 2012

Definitely. He is a great talent. The good thing is that Olly seems to care about us, he really puts a shift in and when he's scored his goals you'd thing he was a City player. Nothing but praise for him.

stupot07 · Apr 7, 2012

He's a good young prospect but not ready for utd's first team. He has a great range of passing however he gets caught defensively at times. Another season in the championship would do him a world of good.

westcountry_skyblue · Apr 7, 2012

There's some thick fookers on here,castlevale give him a few minutes!!!Oh and by the way all my Bristol city mates think theyve won promotion tonight Lets show them on monday PUSB!!!

Haha, right, sorry, still in madness-with-the-world mode

UnitedScholesy · Apr 7, 2012

thanks for your opinions. I have a terrible fear Ferguson will let him go but I hope not (he let go Giueseppe Rossi too easily and is now worth £30M), in one way I want Scholes to retire so Norwood plays. I see the future United midfield trio of Cleverley, Norwood and Jones(as the holding player and captain) to be the best United midfield in 20 years and very similar to Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets.

Does Norwood take the corners and f kicks? ?
Does he often look like the slowest player on the field?

jabharty · Apr 7, 2012

Free kicks: Yes
Slow: No

UnitedScholesy · Apr 7, 2012

How have his set pieces been?

castlevaleskyblue · Apr 7, 2012

Is it true he's out of contract this summer? Think he's really enjoying it here be a massive signing if it happened

ccfcdan · Apr 7, 2012

The two passes he made for our Penalty and in the build up to the equaliser were top draw, id say prem standard. His work rate is superb and seems to love playing for the shirt.Shame he will be going at the end of the season.Without doubt going to be a quality premier league player.

I agree, Daytrader. If Fergie lets him go, I really hope he comes here!!

UnitedScholesy · Apr 7, 2012

We have had Rafael and Park playing in central midfield this season and Ferguson did not give the chance to Pogba who is clearly ready to play. He will always pick Carrick and then so there is Scholes, Giggs, Cleverley, Anderson and Pogba fighting for one position or two if we play 4-3-3. Norwood being here next season would mean his development and fitness to go backwards because Ferguson would play him back in the reserves so he must stay out on loan somewhere. Our squad is too big. If I was manager, he would start for Man Utd but Ferguson has strange and so frustrating selection politics, it is depressing.
His contract I think is up in summer 2012. I think there is only a 50% chance he will get a new one because no one in the United fans mention him or talk about him. He is very underated at United. I don't know if a Premier League team would sign him. I think he could stay at Coventry for good but really hope not

castlevaleskyblue · Apr 7, 2012

Reckon he will be given a new deal at united an loaned to lower league prem team

I hope that he does stay here. Apart from his skill (and he will get even better) it is obvious that he cares. He could become a Sky Blue legend. Here's hoping that Fergie has a 'senior moment' and agrees a deal to keep him here.

Yorkshire SB · Apr 7, 2012

Pogba off to Juve as well isn't he? or so I've heard.

Poor man's scholes in my opinion, not quite got the ability, though he is similar. He lacks pace and strength, which could let him down in the PL. I imagine fergie will loan him to PL club next season and progress him accordingly

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Apr 7, 2012

Watch his passes for the two goals tonight.

I don't know what will happen with Pogba, he has a lot of talent but he is not dedicated to United or else he would sign contract. Ferguson should have given him more match time.

I think you've forgotten about fletcher.

Fletch was a bit unwell? Not sure

Heard he's shitting it because Norwood is so good.

EleanorRigby · Apr 8, 2012

He needs another season long loan IMO. Would love Sir Alex to leave him here for a year and he might if we stay up. But to be honest for his and United,s best interest a loan at somewhere like Swansea, Fulham or one of the promoted teams would be in his best interest so long as he plays warming his arse on a subs bench wouldn't do him a lot of good.. Probably not ready yet IMO for the prem. but having said that playing with better players such as your Rooneys, Valencias etc,etc. might bring him on.

Do you a deal, you have Norwood back next year and lend us Scolesy

Stevec189 · Apr 8, 2012

Reminds me more of Beckham than Scholes. Great vision and passer of the ball - and despite lacking true pace can find himself space. The best passer of a ball I have seen since Gary McAllistair.Top Championship lower Prem for him next year. Fergie will have been impressed with his progress yesterday.
