Eddie Big Balls Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 I think the role he will play will be very similar to Lampard for Chelsea, or at least I think that's the position that will best use his strengths. He's a good long passer but his biggest strength is a terrific shot that should see him score 5-10 goals a season if used well. Although having said that about the 'lampard role', the player he most reminds me of is Le Tissier. Great potential but it remains to be seen if he can fulfil that...
MPH Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 Looking forward to seeing him play. Would have preferred a permanent deal, but I doubt Man Utd would have let him go. Gives us a year to sell the club to him and then he'll be begging to make it permanent.....
Hack Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 Powell Barmby Lawrence James Drinkwater De Laet Simpson Enough ex man u players??? Why? haven't the ones we play showed how good a player market Man U is for us.

We will take either of the 2 players you mentioned as his upside. If he does become a Lampard (I think Powell is faster than Frank ever was) or even better a modern day Le Tissier we will be very happy fans.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 Hopefully there is an option to buy him after the loan.
benpicko Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 He's got a shot on him! I'd think maybe he's going to challenge for Nugent's place in the squad, and if he can do stuff like this for us he's going to be offering something that Nugent doesn't seem to be able to

benpicko Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 Interesting that on the Wigan forums some people were saying that for most of the season he was their best player by far, but towards the end his performances were very lackluster. Also apparently he was one of the worst players for Man U against MK Dons so hopefully he can get his form back.
Carlos88LCFC Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 100% an upgrade to Nugent. Pearson will get the best out of him. I lived in Crewe during his time there and after watching him I knew he would be a star. Depending on his attitude and if he's willing to put a shift in every week he could possibly be our player of the season going forward. As happy with this as I was with cambiasso!

dayday Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 He has always been highly thought of just needs to show it,this is a great opportunity for him.
MC Prussian Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 Well, that just made my night day. Welcome to the club, Nick! Care to impress and hopefully, we can sign you on a permanent after the loan spell. If you can retrieve your early form and find back to your roots and basic strengths, you'll help us no end.
leicesterisme Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 Also apparently he was one of the worst players for Man U against MK Dons so hopefully he can get his form back. No he wasnt, he was the only player in the starting 11 that looked fairly decent.
benpicko Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 No he wasnt, he was the only player in the starting 11 that looked fairly decent. I'll have to watch his performance then but on the Man U forums a few were saying he had some of the worst touches all match
roblcfc84 Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 No he wasnt, he was the only player in the starting 11 that looked fairly decent. I watched that game and whilst no-one covered themselves in glory Powell was the best for united. Janko was utd worst player that night
Ric Flair Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 Wanted him all summer. He's another player we've had an interest in for several years and our persistence is paying off! He's made for the modern day Premier League, I think he'll be quality for us.
crisp monster Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 Great to see that, at last, we have a bearded player
BenKimberlin Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 Great to see that, at last, we have a bearded player Have you not noticed the monster on hamers chin?
Babylon Posted 2 September 2014 Posted 2 September 2014 Not seen him a huge amount, but when I did I thought he was excellent for United. I think there was one particular Euro game where he came on and looked the best player on the pitch. Concerns about whether his mentality is right, drink driving conviction and a few comments about him not being 100% committed. But it's a loan so Nigel will be able to get a good look at that, if it's not right he won't play.
