I heard the guys on Talk Sport claiming he can be as good as Ronaldo.

I'm not disputing the kids talent, but comparisons with Ronaldo are somewhat ridiculous. Ronaldo was a one off, Messi aside he is probably the best player in the last 20 years of football, and as far as I'm concerned the most talented player we've ever had.

So I doubt he'll ever get anywhere close to Ronaldo's level, but I'm sure he will prove a good player for us in the end :biggrin:

This

To compare a young albeit promising talent to one of the two outstanding players of the modern era is just setting up for failure. Ridiculous and potentially damaging.

Bloody hell. He's a promising young player not Messi. I don't think he deserves his own dedicated thread. The way people are talking about Zaha you'd think he was the messiah. Seriously wise up.

I've seen Zaha play a couple of times at Selhurst Park and let me tell you, he IS the next Messi.
 
I'm sure they will find some random stat to cling on to no matter who it is, like Downing's crossing stats which was proof he was going to be a world beater in a red shirt, especially with Andy "the white Heskey" Carroll as his target. <laugh>

And the winner is....Coutinho.

Great bit of business...

Always rated the lad...

Inter fans are furious to see him go...

The missing link...

Turning a corner...

Next year is our year...!
 
Thing is, Zaha has played in english football long enough, whereas Coutinho might take longer to settle at Liverpool.

That doesn't matter.

How long did it take Mata, Hazard, Suarez etc to settle? They all basically hit the ground running.
