What simple ball are you suggesting? He's surrounded.

Show me the full pitch and I can promise you that if 4 Newcastle players are that close to him (but none within 4 yards), there are United players in space.

Just watched, Maz is behind him, conveniently removed from the pic, Maz then has a simple ball inside on to Mainoo. Amad’s obviously been our best player this year but here he took a few too many touches before moving the ball on.
In these situations we should be delighted when a side push so many on Amad and should be planning on switching over the play as fast as possible to create a 2 v 1 on the opposite side.

If I was Arsenal, with the saka injury I will be all over this. If our form continue like this there is a world I can see him gone.

Not saying you're wrong but man, it would just be United if somehow they're all still marked out the game

Unfortunately I think his great form is over. Was nice while it lasted and I have sympathy for him because so often our buildup play is twice as good down the left, and we see so much more of it, but on the right we struggle.

You make it sound like it's gone forever.

If he doesn't want to stay without a ridiculously big contract that invites laziness and kills motivation, he is welcome to leave imo.

Nothing against him, I think he's been great, but the culture of the club needs to change. It's funny that they all play their best football in the last year of their contracts.

I don't think that's a charge that can be leveled at Amad given ETH's refusal to play him much last season.

I feel like he's not quite been the same player since that City game, whereas previously he seemed to focus on playmaking (almost to a fault) he seems to now be going for the shot himself more often.

Should we be concerned that we have had to trigger his extension and haven’t been able to sign a new contract ?

New contract, not triggering a one year extension.

I am praying that it's sensible and in line with other clubs' wage structures.

I wouldn't blame him if he leaves tbh the club is a joke, might even be better for his career/development.

What would you think is fair? Serious question - not based on our club but in football, where do we reckon he'd come in at with a rival? £100k with £50k incentives? Highly promising youngish player (22 years old, supposedly on £30k)

To be honest I have no clue but the days of us giving crazy wages need to be over. If it was up to me I would get a list together of similar calibre/potential players and look at what they're paid. Ultimately the players who want to be here would stay, even if we offered BELOW market value.
