IMO he is a better prospect than all the younger players there now and is a different player to Arteta.
Coutinho hasn't done anything yet to earn half the plaudits people are giving him
Ramsey is very under rated but still doesn't have a defined position
Anderson is cruelly underused and played out of position. He looked a spectacularly good number 10 in Portugal but United play him as a holder type a lot and he isn't that kind of player
Cleverly wouldn't get in our team and hasn't really stepped up at all and Mikel is pretty poor IMO
so who is better between him and say..ramsey
or him and cleverly
him and anderson
him and mikel
him and arteta
him and coutinho
so , ability wise . any takers to these comparisons?
Coutinho is the only player you can compare him to ability wise and I believe they are on par.
:ross:
I'm an Ajax fan, just had to sign up when I saw that comment. How can you claim Fischer is better than Eriksen? Beyond ridiculous mate.
Eriksen is by far our best player and him staying or going will probably decide the dutch championship. Fischer is a nice talent but right now he's an average winger at best. Has been our worst player this season so far.
why just coutinho? is there something that stops us comparing his passing and technical ability and decision making to the other players on the list for example?
I am absolutely astounded some people aren't convinced by this guy, wtf?! This isn't just your average player with potential this guy is the real deal I find it hard to believe we could actually sign him....
Of course not but the passes you make as a central midfielder is just often diferent from the one you make as a number 10. From the list I would say only Arteta is a better all round passer but I believe Eriksen has better vision therefore is more capable of playing the unexpected through ball.
I think Eriksen is a quality buy, I just worry about what it would mean for the development of Holtby, Carroll and Siggy.
Wiki says he was born in Middelfart. I lol'd.
This is not the poor Dutch league though, and he constantly fail to impress for Denmark. Not sure he can step up, but let's see.
yeah okay i see where we got our wires crossed
i am talking about passing range, short and long, from various areas of the pitch. failing that i would be satisfied with ability to replicate a pass in comparison to these other players on a technical level......for instance...can he thread a pass REGULARLY between two opposition players that are relatively close together...well weighted .....to a team mate thats moving into a zone behind those opposition players?
am not asking for that kind of detail mate of course not, but its that kind of though in my head when i ask for comparisons.
composure on the ball from deep or in tight nit spaces with opposition around him?
is his pass and move game as good as ramseys? etc etc
not being difficult...i just dont know **** about this kid
