I think at best he will grow in to an Ashley Young level player, good but probably not what Man U paid for
Fair enough with Bale but I don't think Walcott is all that fantastic.

Maybe, maybe not. Bebe, Gabriel Obertan, David Bellion... All players they've bought in (2 of them recently) for a wide forward/wing spot that have been abject failures. I'll admit to having only seen Zaha once (live for England U21s v Serbia) but I'll tell you now - Townsend did more in 25 mins than he did in 90. Perhaps Zaha has a higher potential ceiling than Townsend, but I can't see it being that much higher and I'd rather bring through one of our own.I think that this statement is fueled by motivated bias - unfortunately I think Utd's scouts know their stuff

It's not motivated by anything, I don't have an agenda against Man Utd and I was never expecting us to sign him so its not like I have any bitterness against them or the fact they signed Zaha.....if anything I am glad they got him instead of ArsenalI think that this statement is fueled by motivated bias - unfortunately I think Utd's scouts know their stuff
Turned up at OT wearing an Imogen Thomas T-Shirt...LOL
I dunno what reason you have to assume I have some bias agenda against Man U or the player himself?!? as an English football supporter I hope he does go on to be great for club and country, I just don't think he will.
Their scouts after all decided not to beat us to Bale (in as far as had they advised Sir Alex he was going to be worth it I am sure Man U could have easily beat us to his signing)
Man U also paid massive money for Young who was more proven and established yet he still didn't (or hasn't) really live up to expectations, so what's to suggest they will be more right with Zaha?Because you are a Spurs fan lol... Just like all of us. The fact that Utd paid mega money for this young kid, who has done excellently in the Championship would suggest that this guy's lowest level will be an Ashley Young standard. I hope he does great for country, I hope he does crap for club, but I think it is pretty evident he is a massive talent.
Southampton rejected a bid from Utd before we signed him. They were definitely after him.
Well he's the BIGGEST wasted talent of them all!In before @SpursManChris decides he's being wasted, and we should buy him.
Lets be honest he is twat for shagging her to be honestIf he hadn't shagged Moyes' daughter I expect he'd have actually gotten some playing time, given Man United's wide players have been pretty wretched bar Januzaj.
