Default Obertan

From where I was sat (in a pub) he looked poor tonight. Dont wanna get on the lads back, everyone's entitled to a bad game. But from what I saw today he's an awful footballer.

nft.

Hope he turns in to the next Ronaldo

He looked, erm, raw.

Way he linked up was pretty good though.

looked nervous as £#%&!, understandable.

- worked hard
- played the simple, effective ball several times
- played (or attempted to) the right ball most of the time
- got into the area more in 20 minutes than probably most of the players did in 90
- will put pressure on the other wide players.

I agree, he's had his chance, sell him in January and bring in Nicky Summerbee.

Thought he was dairly decent, tbh.


Some nervy moments, which were to be expected, but I like his style - quick, head up and makes some decent runs after laying the ball off. I fully expect to see a fair share of him in the coming months. Lovely head on him, too.

from what i saw on MOTD he looked inexperienced and maybe a bit daunted. at the moment he needs quite a few touches to bring the ball under control; hopefully as he develops his touch and distribution will become more seamless. he seems willing to push forward and got himself into some good positions though. time will tell i guess.

I feel sorry for some of these lads that are being asked to 'replace' Ronnie.

I always sound like I've got it in for him, but I'm sorry...Nani isn't good enough to play for us.
I'll be amazed if he's still at United in a years time.

Valencia is finding his feet...early days. But I'm not convinced as yet.

Obertan looks raw as £#%&!, but you never know.
...Tosic is technically good, but is he really gonna make it as a first team player at United??

Then there's Ljaic (sp?) who arrives in Jan.

I'll be surprised if Fergie isn't thinking about a 'finished article' winger to come in & strengthen us up a bit - Not sure who?- Ribery? Silva? (Shyeah, right)

If he plays his cards right he could well turn out to be the 'new' Bellion

Looks like he has potential, too early to judge him. With that running style and head, he resembles a mekon Forrest Gump though.

His head looks like a mangled bag of 50p's. Approximately 31 pound 50 at a guess.
