CM? Maybe he'll become a Pedri / Bilva type player eventually and not a winger like we thought. Good in tight spaces, eye for a pass.
Amad Diallo | Sunderland Loan Watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Another brilliant game in which he produces nothing. Sounds like our boy.
Will pass that feedback on to the Sunderland manager and try to make sure he checks with you before declaring he's happy with a player's performance from now on.
I agree 100%. Doesn’t have the pace for a wide player but great with the ball at his feet and seemingly a fairly intelligent player.
Be fair, how on earth could Tony Mowbray ever hope to top mu4c_0le for knowledge of footballers ability.
That’s all well and good, but the most important thing is how many touches did he get!
What a terrible post. Did you watch the game? I guess the manager doesn't know what he is talking about.

Lots saying Amad MOTM - but the most pleasing thing is why they’re saying it -because of his work rate and intensity. This will be a huge loan for him is he gets that into his game - we know the quality is there.

Amad FC? What was factually incorrect about the post
Probably the fact you insinuated he produces nothing every game quite literally 1 game on from when he fecking scored.
Yeah Bernardo is what he should look to emulate I feel. If he can add the workrate there is a player there for that kind of role
I get the doom mongering around Amad but I like him a lot and feel he’ll make it. I loved what I saw of him from before we signed him and he impressed me when I saw the Vallecano match at OT in pre season. He worked his socks off that day and had real class, unlike Chong who I also saw that day who clearly looked bereft of the requisite quality.
It’s obvious he has had physical issues since coming to us - growing pains, injuries and struggle to adapt to the physicality of English football. He’s definitely bulked up and, contrary to what’s been said here, he’s very quick seeing him in person.
He needs games, confidence and more physical maturity but I genuinely believe that otherwise all the tools to be a top player are in place.
He’ll grow into this Sunderland role and I expect him to be Antony’s backup next season, getting a good share of minutes. ETH loves left footed right wingers and Antony is currently our only one so I see definite potential in Amad, in that role, to ultimately be a very useful squad player for us for several years.

Have at it mate.
What an embarrassment of a post. If you had eyes on the match to tell us about his performance then why don't you do something constructive and enlighten us instead of criticising for the sake of it?
Sounds like the loan is going really well compared to the last one
You're a fecking child.
You insinuated that he didn't do much because he didn't get an assist or goal, signs of the younger generation who only go by stats I guess
It really is childish, isnt it? I guess people hoping that Amad will still make it or just not being negative towards him are directly part of Amad FC or Amad fanboys. As if Amad succeeding wouldnt be good for Manchester United...
It's this notion of "another" game without producing. He's only just getting going and your tone is more suited to a player whose 25 and yet to start producing.
By all accounts was much more involved in yesterday's game, put himself about a bit more, and had several good efforts on goal.
Mowbray seems to like him, and is probably wondering where his best position would be, seemed to play more centrally against Luton, so that maybe why he was more involved.
I think technically Amad is a fantastic player, but needs to learn the ins and outs of professional football, and he seems to have had a decent loan spell thus far. Looking forward to see how he performs in pre season for United.
Just seen the highlights, and he still appears to be playing on the right.

Getting better.
I don't think age is relevant but you are right in thinking there was no reason for such a pointlessly negative post.You insinuated that he didn't do much because he didn't get an assist or goal, signs of the younger generation who only go by stats I guess
The strange thing is Chong is looking very good in the Championship, I'd argue he is looking a lot better than Amad currently.
I guess it shows that the best way to grow as a player is to get consistent game time, like Chong has.
Amad has two full games in a row which shows good promise in terms of development.
That challenge at the end was quite frankly awful!
Fantastic vision at the 00:20 mark.
That cross-field pass (0.22) that was threaded between 4 Luton players....
He is technically levels above his team-mates. His passes are wasted.
Absolutely. I can see Chong possibly becoming a Premier League player in the future, but he was going to struggle to get game time at United, so a move and regular football was perfect for him. Amad, as you say, has had two full games in a row, and, dare I say, seemed better in yesterday's game, so regular football certainly helps the player's development.
Mowbray has handled the loan spell well in my opinion, gradually introducing Amad into the first team, and now giving him 90+ minutes. I would imagine that he shows a lot of ability in training, that's why Mowbray plays him, but needs to transfer that into the Championship matches, and then we could have some player on our hands, but it's all up to Amad at the end of the day.
Chong is also 3 years older than Amad.
Also has way more first team experience, something that was touched upon in the Hannibal thread. Also, for all the shit he got from our fanbase, Chong wasn't some talentless no-mark, he was one of our best academy players in his time here so it's not exactly surprising to see him doing well now he's found his feet. I rate Amad as a more exciting talent but Chong was very good in his own right, just not good enough to be at United.
And execution, he's one of the most technically gifted players United have on their books.
It may take him a while to reach his potential but most of the tools are already there.
Excellent to know. Very early days Amad and a long way for him to prove himself at Sunderland let alone United but each such performance is a step in the right direction
You can see his vision and tehcnique are really good, he just needs to get more experience.
Looks like all our loanees this season are finding their feet in their teams. Dare I say but Championship loans are the way forward for us.
Actually, I never disagreed with the manager's opinion, I simply meant that it sounds like another typical Amad performance where he does well but doesn't produce numbers. I guess the truth hurts people more than I expected.You insinuated that he didn't do much because he didn't get an assist or goal, signs of the younger generation who only go by stats I guess
That pass on 25 seconds is insaneHe’s looking much bigger and faster!
Very Raheem-like stature now, growing into his body. Keep it up Amad, promising signs!
Looks very good in those highlights. Seems a lot faster, the way he takes the ball on the turn, some very good passes. You see that and think he might be tearing it up properly come the end of the season.
Yeah hopefully sign of better things to come. Much more purposeful in his movement and passing. Clearly technically he is awesome. But he has to show that he can apply his talent.
Chong was brilliant in the Championship last season also before getting injured, that's why Birmingham were keen to get him back. He's been played a lot in CM for them and perhaps that's where he belongs.
That cross-field pass (0.22) that was threaded between 4 Luton players....
He is technically levels above his team-mates. His passes are wasted.
And that forward ran it straight into the defender even though the defender got caught out by the pass. Ridiculous and frankly amateur.
Created another chance at the 0:34 mark, the striker should have hit it first time but chose to take a touch.
