I'm sure Adnan will stay and it'll be a bit of a two fingers up at those clubs trying to steal our youngsters again.

How do you pronounce his name?
Ya-noo-zay or Ya-noo-zi. The commentators seem to switch between the two.
Ad-nan.
By calling him Adnan
He should go all Jordi Cruyff and have his first name on his shirt.I've heard his name pronounced many different ways by commentators. The most common one I've heard is Yan-oo-zay. I don't know if that's the right one though.
I still call it exactly as I see it - Jan-yoo-zaj
Yeah I'll stick to Adnan
Yeah I'll stick to Adnan
He only has a year left on his deal.
To be fair, his agent said last month that he is looking forward to signing the new deal. But unless the thing is actually signed, there is always a little bit to be worried about.
no worries...

Ya like in Yahoo, nu like in nuts or null, z like in zero and i like in Ireland. I don't know how exactly to write his correct surname punctuation with the weird symbols but it shouldn't be hard from my first sentence to understand it.
More like Yan ooo Zay.
Well, if you can spell the bold letters exactly as they are spelled on the words I mentioned it's definitely the correct spelling. From what I have heard of commentators they are wrong.
So you're saying that all the commentators are saying it wrong and you're pronouncing it right? Because the way you've just pronounced it, I've never heard it said like that.
Exactly. Commentators spell it like Yae-nu-zaey which is wrong. By ae I mean the weird punctuation symbol.
But even Fergie calls him that, except he says it jan rather than Yan. How are you sure they've all got it wrong? The last thing I want to do is be used to saying his name wrong.
I am from the same country as him and the 'Januzaj' surname is pretty common here.
I thought it was...
Yar as in Yarn
Nu as in Noob
Zayer as is Heyyyaaa!
Yar as in Yarn
Nu as in Noob
Zayer as is Heyyyaaa!
Just stick with phonetics until we hear him say his own name.
Jan as in January.
U as in You
Zaj as in Vadge.
Jan as in January.
U as in You
Zaj as in Vadge.

It's a robotic voice but it isn't that far from the correct spelling.

Then who am I to argue with you? No one that's who.
So it's Ya-Noo-Zai?
Anyway, here's an article about him (and Henriquez) from the Daily Post:

From the article. Hopefully that means he has signed a new contract.
There are issues with his contract too? WTF are we doing at youth level.
Huh? There are no issues with anyone's contracts. If a young doesnt want to stick around to challenge for a first team spot, there is feck all we can do about it. And its always been that way.
Before 18 they can only sign contracts of up to 2 years as I understand it. Hence why he only has a year left on his contract. Its a bit of a recurring theme in the top siges (as the Andy Mitten article states) that the top youngsters are quite likely to move to the top team that needs their attributes now rather than wait for a spot in their current team. It's harder than ever to break through from youth teams.
If you pronounce 'zai' as in 'Dai Greene' (the hurdler), then yes. The stress is on the first syllable.
Possibly the thing I'm looking to the most is seeing Januzaj on the preseason tour.
Agreed. It's a beautiful accident that Valencia, Young and Nani are all staying at home, and Kagawa won't be there at first. Means Zaha, Januzaj and Lingard will all get some serious playing time, rather than having to steal a few minutes here and there or be crammed into unfamiliar positions.
That's the drawback of having a huge squad. Even when the youth players get a chance in the league cup or fa cup they are usually playing out of position. Can't wait to see him play with the senior team
Yeah, you normally see them with fringe players as well so will be a completely new experience for the youngsters to be playing in a strong team.
It's such a huge jump between the U21s and the first team, I'm keeping my expectations low. If he can handle the speed of the offense and not look out of place I'll be delighted.
With his control, he'll be even able to produce some chances.
Definitely looks to have bulked up a bit. Will be fantastic to see him have a good tour and hopefully have a few cameo appearances during the season.
Starts today. Hope he shows what he can do!
What's his best position then lads? I've heard a few conflicting things. Is he another that likes this fashionable #10 role?
He's good at #10, but for me he's one of those who's slightly better coming in from a slightly wider position. Think Silva.

He could do better than cameos.
I'm going hazard a guess that he will get 10 first team appearances this season in all competitions. Could be more if he really excels on tour.
Promising.
