Anyone else agree?

Must be in with a shout of starting at Euro 2016. He doesn't quite possess the explosiveness or flair of Barkley but he's a much more mature talent with much better decision making. Very well rounded for a player of his age.

Spurs have done very well to get him.
 
Only seen him a few times, but thought he was much older than he was. Can only be a compliment i guess.
 
Has played quite a bit of football for a 19 year old. 100th career appearance I think.
 
Yep. I said it in the match thread just there that he seems a lot more mature than Barkley. I like what I'm seeing.
 
Looks an absolute bargain.

Biggest compliment I can give him is that he doesn't look like a 19 year old playing in midfield at all.

A lot more mature for sure. Barkley is a game changer type player though. They could both play in the same team I'm sure. Looks a great talent though.
 
His decision making in the attacking third is poor though, generally. In the other 2 zones he's very promising.
 
Seen him live a couple times, such a great young player.
 
I am not fully convinced yet. He is talented of course, but I would not say he is the 'best.' Wilshere is better if he was not always injury prone and perhaps Barkley aswell. I have also heard good things about Crowley who plays for Arsenal academy and Cheeks who plays for Chelsea. The latter two, with more first team football might get more recognition.
 
Despite being rubbish today, Dier's been just as good this season.
 
Yeah, looks a top player, started following him a bit after he ripped us apart in the MK Dons Cup game, he was ridiculous that day. Saying that very surprised he's got a first team place so quickly and looked this good.
For a 19 year old to come from League One into the Premier League and settle like this is insane.
 
Proof that theres nothing wrong with looking at lower leagues for talent.
 
Fully agree. Watched Spurs a few times this season, and he's been very impressive every time.
 
you can laugh but he looks much better than Pogba at his age, rocking in the fecking premier league
 
If Kane is supposedly worth 100 million, what's this guy value?
 
He's fecking class, he keeps this up for another season or 2 and he's going to be highly saught after.

That is an overstatement my friend. He might be as good, maybe just under him; however I do not believe he is much better.

Spurs however do know how to find these young talented players.
 
Poch is doing a better job managing England than Roy.
 
Definitely one we should keep an eye on when we revamp the midfield in the summer.

Pogba looked very raw and immature at the same age, Im comparing whats comparable, and also for that reason he played only couple of minutes for us, Ali looks like the brightest talent in the premier league and already game changer for Tottenham, it might sound as an overstatement but at the same time its only because how eventually Pogba dvelopped in a as poor league as Seria A, time will tell if Alli can match performances what pogba's capable of but right now he's easily better of the two at the same age..:-)
 
Why we didn't go for him after the 4-0 vs MK Dons will forever remain a mystery. We sign Zaha and Powell but miss out on Ramsey, Alli etc.

He does look more matured as you said, but Pogba just had that natural talent that can not be taught. I do understand where you are coming from.

SPurs bought him for £5 million ten months ago, I reckon they could at least quadruple that now!

I have to be honest, i'm usually very skeptical in relation to english players and the constant overhyping but this fella has really impressed me every time i´ve watched him.
 
He's excellent, really is. He just radiates this feeling that he is definitely going to be class. Bit like Shaw [pre-injury].
 
In this guy, Stones, Sterling, Shaw and Kane, England have the best crop of young players coming through for a long time.

United need to get there hands on more than just 1 of them.
