I think the loan deal with Parma failed and we decide to swoop in
Amad Diallo - Atalanta winger
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date

rw that is predominantley left footed, glad we got him.
So if we had acted quicker then would have been available earlier in the window
January is right around the corner to be fair. He’s not gonna be starting anyway. It’ll be Greenwood this season, with Mata, Lingard, James & Traore popping up here & there.
I still wouldn't be sure it's happening if it's dependent on a work permit, knowing the government.
Yes not ideal however we are only 3 months away till next year.
Some mugs have offered them €30m + add-ons for a player who 24 minutes in the Serie A, I think.
This has been on the cards since day 1.
Papu Gomez -: “He’s a future star, trust me. During our trainings he seems like Messi! You can’t stop him”. He played 25 minutes in Serie A and scored one goal
Fabrizio Romano - Traoré is one of the top young talents here in Italy. Atalanta have the best Academy so far.
It seems like a signing we'd have made regardless of the Sancho/Dembele situation.
Feck knows and hopefully this is some kind of masterstroke.
Way too positive because due to our incompetence he can't play until Jan
Doesn't seem like a panic buy.
And he does look really good.
Only two and a half months, isn't it?

Incompetence in the sense that we didn't have anything concrete lined up if a chancy loan deal for him fell through.
Why complete it on the final day then?
That’s fair, maybe it is a master stroke, get him before he’s worth 100 mil!
A short period of time but there are a lot of games to be played. Ultimately, I think it's somewhat irrelevant as I doubt he'd have played anyway but the optics aren't great.
We wanted to sign him but he was going to Parma. That deal fell through. Not sure what happened
Because we are run by morons?
Yep, I think that’s fair
What I don’t understand is why Atalanta wanted to send him on loan before we bid for him, if his talent is really as big as being described
Christ we've gone for it with this one. Very exciting as he's a massive talent but surprised to see us spend €30m for him now! Roll on January.
I think it’s important to remember, at all times, how little of a clue we have about what really happens. I’m really not a fan of all this damaging slander that’s been flying around baselessly.
I like these kinds of signings but I’d be willing to wager both will be out on loan by next season.
I concur, yes.
Mate, we are fecking brutal RIGHT NOW.
Signing a young lad (talented as he may be) who can't play until January and will have to adjust is not the answer. We needed a starting RW, and allow Greenwood to rotate. Unbelievable.
I saw a youtube clip of him and he does look pretty skilful. Hopefully, he can transfer that over here and adapt quickly when he finally joins.
Unfortunately, I'm not too excited about it yet since we won't see him until January. I do like these type of signings, though.
Or maybe the footballing people at the club had a deal with Wormwood. 'So you're saying you're totally confident BVB will budge. Well then if you're wrong and you can't get Sancho then you have to approve this 30m punt on this 18 year old that you've never heard of and that you've repeatedly refused to let us sign for the past twelve months. Deal?'
Really good to see us bag a young winger everyone rates highly.
Clearly the fact we offered them 30m happened.
Perhaps sancho money freed up for this deal.
30 mil?!!
Welcome Amad. Does that mean no Sancho if this guy will be as good in a year or two
He'll be perfect to come in and make absolutely no difference (not his fault he's just a kid) to the relegation fight we'll be in by January 1st.
Euros I think. Still high
This is it isn’t it, we’ve given up so we got this dude and that other one were signing.
You’re amad if you think that’s happening
yep, my guess is Atalanta cancelled it when they saw our last minute offer
Sancho is better on the left. In an ideal world he'd play on that side.
let's see how this goes
