    The expectations put upon him in Scotland would be unrealistic and ridiculous. The media coverage of him would be equally infuriating. Everything he did would be compared to the king.

    I would love to have him here. Doubt that Henrik would allow him to move to Scotland at this young age though. If he turn out to be a success at Helsingborg/Malmö, i can guarantee that Man United will be after him (Alex cream his pants just of thinking about Larsson. And even if he's not manager, he still have major power.

    Try to sign him the * up Celtic. The lad has he emotions and heart of his father. Thats what counts in football.

    Hope he turns out even half as good as his dad then he will still be a great player ,but it is massive pressure just look at Jordi Cruyff

    compared to his dad though i think more the point.

    young Jordan has big boots to fill and the less he stays away from publice attention and is allowed to focus on his development then he stands a chance of filling them.

    I think Henrik himself said Jordan is better then he was at that age, but that could amount to nothing unless he stays driven and focused and away from such pressures that moving here would bring.

    Again like, so unfair to label a player based on who he is related to.

    Jordi Cryff was a decent player in his own right.

    of which i dont doubt, however he was under immense pressure to be the worlds best just because he was the seed of Johan Cruyff and yet people would argue just because he wasn't as great as his dad he was rubbish.

    And that is my whole point of how wrong that attitude is.

    Jordi Cruyff was very average he lived off his fathers name. George Weah had a son that played for AC Milan who was also hyped and came to nothing in playing terms. Zidane has a son who also was hyped a few years ago not sure if he is still at Madrid. Teddy Sheringham son Charlie also hyped came to nothing. We will have to see in the next few years if Jordan lives up to the hype. YouTube videos are never a good way of evaluating a player. It would be great if we had him at Celtic and he was like his dad.

    Apparently Enzo Zidane is the real deal but he refuses to have Zidane on his top; he wants to be known just as Enzo until he earns the right to the name Zidane.

    Boy does seem to have real potential

    Enzo a great name he was good on football manager a few years back. Good that he is still at the top level heard he had a bit of an attitude problem. Still only 18 I thought he was like 21 or something.

    Henrik will drill the right attitude into him and will no doubt guide him onto a decent professional career, as long as he can stay clear of injury early on. From what I have heard Jordan has great potential and I am confident that he will make it. Would love to see him here obviously.

    Not true. He didn't even have the name 'Cruyff' on his back, just 'Jordi' as he didn't reckon he was worthy of it as a player. Had a bad run of injuries which more or less killed off the early promise he'd shown in that great Barca team managed by Van Gaal, but he resurrected himself with Alaves and got to a Uefa Cup final where they lost to Liverpool in extra time. Good player. He never lived off his old man's name, he just looks avaerage by comparison (as does everyone else). Judge him on his own terms.
