Better than Anthony that is a foregone conclusion
As well as Rashford. He’d still be on the bench if it wasn’t for his injury.Can't believe ETH stuck with Antony for so long when he could only dream to play this well.
Would make sense, keep Amad and Garnacho, both can play from the right with Garnacho favouring the left, bring in competition for the left side and move on Rashford, Antony and Greenwood if possible. We also have some interesting young prospects in wide areas so I don't think we'd be caught short.Persist with him. Rather we sign a LW than a RW.
He has so much more talent than Antony, and he is much cleverer player.
I said this a few months ago and I still stand by this — give Amad a full uninterrupted PL season and I really do think you get an Olise level talent.The loan season was YPOTY worthy, though. (I know that the Bournemouth kid got it, but Amad was definitely up there) Someone mentioned Joao Pedro above, and even Olise in his key breakout season at Reading — very similar stats to Amad in his key season at Sunderland. Difference is they’re getting the chance to have proper breakout seasons in the PL.
He could struggle, as could every young player, we won’t know until he gets a chance.
A Tesco version of Bernardo Sylva you meant to sayHe’s good, and he’s entertaining to watch. I like him. So tidy on the ball, great close control and quick feet. Bit of a fight in him as well.
I'm not sure we need Olise with Amad looking like he may well be the answer. I was in the minority a few years back when I said that we should develop Amad rather than sign Sancho.
I think we should afford him the time to make the RWF spot his own and invest money in other areas of the pitch.

Sometimes you do just need to have faith in the players you do have, I think it’s a mistake we’ve made with that RW more than once. I don’t think we needed Sancho when we signed him as Greenwood was already doing a job (I know how that turned out) we then spent £85m on Antony when we had 2 talented young wingers plus Sancho as is. We just waste money for no good reason.I said this a few months ago and I still stand by this — give Amad a full uninterrupted PL season and I really do think you get an Olise level talent.
