Only VDV in our squad has more natural footballing ability than Adel.

The statement is wrong. Here's a counterexample, Luka Modric.

Modders too. You can have all the natural ability in the world but when you're thick as pig shit you'll never reach your potential.

When Luka can stop striking the ball like that of a six year old girl then maybe. I'm not denying Adel has a questionable attitude and it would take a Sir Alex ilk of manager to train that out of him, but he's still an amazingly gifted footballer.

Correct....just because dear old adel does tricks every 10 seconds it doesnt mean hes got more natural football ability than anyone hes just a show off i can guarantee you lennon,bale,bentley,modric,kranjcar,crouch,pienaar,vdv can do every trick adel can do but they choose not to because they aint brain dead and actually have a footballing brain!

Depends how you define that. He's got very good ball skills certainly but whether he can actually be a footballer rather than a showpony at the highest level remains to be seen.

Lionel Messi is an amazingly gifted footballer. Taarabt is not even gifted.

Yet Sir Alex wouldn't touch Adel with a barge pole and when Adel can dominate the midfield in one of the best leagues in the world and read the game like a book maybe he'll have the natural ability of Luka. Oh yeah who is Sir Alex trying to buy again to replace a legendary midfielder? Football is a team game and Adel is a petulant child who plays for himself, there's more to natural ability than fancy tricks.

Well that's a lazy opinion and one you're basing from 4 years ago - much like your hilarious Rossi hate. We'll just ignore his 19 goals and countless assists from last season and claim all he can do is stepovers ... even if it's at Championship level, it was his first proper season and some of the things he did for QPR the likes of Bale, Lennon, Modric, Pienaar, Bentley and Crouch could only dream of doing. Niko possibly as technically he is superb but we're bored of him now, apparently.

Haha you really love him don't you!
Pienaar is very skilled so is bentley Lennon luka and gaz
Rossi has been here before flopped and got sent
Packing he's good in la liga because he doesn't have to be strong just fast and technical you need to be powerful in our league
And I'm bored of you!

Until he's done it at the top level in whichever country he ends up he remains unproven.
Personally I reckon he'll end up a bit like that Egyptian lad Zidan. Great on a youtube video but ultimately never quite hitting the heights he should. We shall see. Either way if PSG were to spend 13.5m on him it would be a big big gamble.

Yeah Rossi flopped here after playing 10 games as a teenager, well done you muppet. I forgot that the likes of Hernandez, Modric, Fabregas, Nasri etc are big black men.

Nice and grown up there Brett :grin:
I didn't say all he does is stepovers (although that is all we saw him do for Spurs). What I said was he hasn't done it at the top level and therefore can't be judged properly yet.
Giles Barnes looked pretty special in the Championship for example. So have many other players. It's a big big step up from there though.
