Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 3427076, member: 8440"] Yeah, interesting view. I don't think the gap between them is that big either, especially when you start to compare individual components the way that you have. But I feel Walsh currently is, and will end up the superior player, provided he puts in the work. But my view was more of an overall thing as a whole. So for instance in terms of speed, footwork, ballplaying, general play kicking, goalkicking, kick defusal, defensive positioning, and communication, I think Walsh is ahead of Niu overall. In some areas, he is quite significantly ahead of Niu, in other areas it is quite close. Though I think Walsh overall has a better attacking game, and also a slightly better defensive game at this stage. They are both young, and it could change in the future, but I just feel Walsh currently has more quality involvements in him. At the moment Walsh is playing in a poor side, so it is hard to really compare fairly. I would be interested to see what he could do in our current team though. But in saying that, you have rightly pointed out that Niu offers more in terms of yardage and involvment in support play. But other than those two things, there's not much more that Niu provides that Walsh can't do equally well, or better himself. In comparison, Walsh can offer better general play kicking, goal kicking and playmaking over Niu, which are pretty valuable attributes to have. But I do appreciate hard work, effort, and attitude. From all reports, Niu comfortably wins in those areas over Walsh at this stage of their careers. Interesting dilemma to have, but it may be hard to fit both in the 17. [/QUOTE]
