Maybe I'm watching the wrong highlight videos because I haven't seen any that matches up to the hype he's gotten
Amad “Traore“ Diallo
- Thread starter RedMachine03
- Start date
Our Messi. ??
At the moment he hasn't kicked a ball for us, so I am really in a quantum state of thinking "what a waste of money" and "buy of the century" at the same time.
Very appropriate and fitting response.
Saw a clip comparing him to Nani and it seemed quite apt. Nani is one of the most technical gifted footballers, at least amongst attackers, I've seen play for the club. But there's a big difference between youth football and the PL. Like Nani he doesn't look like he eats up ground that quickly but does seem to have a lot of technical gifts.
Not sure what you find is a conspiracy, but maybe the below link will help you understand what I was referring to in better depth.

I think it's a bit more then technical gifts with this guy. He seems to always keep his head up to see what is around him and that is fairly rare for a player at that age. Ronaldo took some time to do this for example.
That's true. But again, remains to be seen whether he can bring those qualities to the highest level. Also, I think he doesn't have the explosiveness of a Ronaldo/Robben. Seems at this young age to be a more well rounded talent (with less explosiveness) but I don't want to jump to conclusions before I see how he does in the PL.
Sure. Virtually unknown quantity when it comes to professional football. What we can see though looks impressive. The talent is obvious but it seems to me he has that awareness (from highlights) that few players have at that age, and the ones that do tend to make it; Greenwood looks like a fair example.
I'm excited by this guy. Never seen him play but apparently he is extremely highly regarded within the scouting circles and his acquisition is seen as a big deal for Man United.
Weird, for a winger, he has that rare first touch ability. Almost as good as Berba's from what I saw.
He seems like a special player. That's for sure.
Messi is future Amad Diallo.
Jesus Christ go and touch a woman, smell a rose or something. You would have said the same thing if we signed Alphonso Davies
Maybe don’t go ‘touch a woman’... Take them out to dinner first.
Even then without their permission or consent he shouldn't.
If he is the president of the USA, it's perfectly ok!
Of the 3 options, go touch a woman isn’t the safest
Depends what the something is, could be wild.
Is he expected to play any first team football before he joins? Just looked at the Atalanta squad and he's not there.
They won't play him unless they have an injury crisis.
They won't use him because they don't play with wingers
That's a shame. Would have been ideal to get him in the summer so he'd at least train be able to train with us.
Only 2 months away, he won't take any great harm.
Sounds strange a bit... So we compare him with Messi and eager to see him in our start squad but great Atalanta don't use him just because they don't play with wingers?
It’s like its been said, Atalanta don’t tend to play with wingers so they aren’t going to integrate him into their team. Now that he all but a Utd player, he’ll just train
Have people even considered that perhaps his non-involvement is at United’s request?
So isn't he even playing for under 19s for them.
He's actually not even training, he has to watch training sessions from home and see if he can improve by just watching training videos.
Wow that's a shame. I cannot see him featuring for us this season. Maybe he will be drafted to the under 23s and may get a cup game.
So we can't have him training at Carrington?
If he's not going to play, can't he come on 'holiday' to sunny Manchester and train with our team.
I was taking the piss. I imagine he's training with their first team and is on standby in case of an injury crisis. Like @Rozay said, there's a chance he's not playing at our request seeing as January's only 2 months away.
That seems..odd.. if he's a generational talent. Sorry Messi, we're playing two up top this week so feck off.
All the footage seems to be from the U19 or 18 so think he’ll probably be turning out for them. He’s definitely in the squad
If Messi was leaving in 2 months time at 18 I’m sure he wouldn’t be playing very much.
What’s the point of him playing now.
People don't seem to realize what a gem we have got in Amad. Honestly I'm surprised we've managed to get this deal done - he's the highest rated wonderkid in football.
But that's not all, his refugee background also needs to be taken into consideration. If he truly turns out to be generational like most scouts predict, Amad will be the most inspirational and marketable asset in the sport.
