That can only happen if we as fans create an ideal atmosphere for our young players to grow. At the moment it feels like some posters are just waiting to pounce on our players and club just to moan for the sake of it.I agree with this.
We should be doing these transfers more often.
Vini Jr for example cost Real Madrid close to £40m outright.
If Amad could get anywhere near his level we'd have a steal for what we would have paid.

Isn't it pathetic how some people always chose to move the goalpost instead of admitted they were wrong?Maybe just admit you were wrong.

Do we have a time traveler amongst us. While you are it can you give me the winning lottery numbers too.He'll go on loan to loan and fade to obscenity. You can quote me on it
Are you saying players usually don´t develop much at age 20-23?Moan for the sake of it? They boy was meh for a Sunderland team playing in championship.. he's already 21? What sort of hope he can get in 2-3 years time? You'd think he'd even be the next Park Ji Sung?
He's a failed buy. No amount of sugar coated and cheerleading can change that.

And that's nothing personal. We just bought players who's not good enough, and at his ideal best would only be midtable starter... And that's best case scenario
Are you saying players usually don´t develop much at age 20-23?
My feeling after watching football for 35 years is that an awful lot can happen for players at that age.
I think you meant obscuritySo he's 21 years old, costs £40m, isn't ready for Sunderland and will fade to "obscenity", did I miss anything else?
The bolded part is just not true!Nope. Very few had that big jump. You'll be showing something special by 21 if you're special. Very rare for player to jump magically from a nobody to top level in 2 years. Not playing for Sunderland under a mediocre coach.
You need to have that raw talent in the first place.
Beck Giggs and Scholes did their loan. But its already clear they're special and it's a matter of time. With amad we're still hoping he'd come good and transform to 2x the player he is. Big ask
The criticsm Amad receives is really strange

Wrong. One of the best right wingers in the league currently is proof that you are wrong. Salah was raw and had the tendency to drift in and out of games before making a significant jump in his mid 20s.So he's 21 years old, costs £40m, isn't ready for Sunderland and will fade to "obscenity", did I miss anything else?
He's quite clearly taking the piss.Wrong. One of the best right wingers in the league currently is proof that you are wrong. Salah was raw and had the tendency to drift in and out of games before making a significant jump in his mid 20s.
People are more concerned with being "right" than wanting our young players to succeed, it's to validate their narcissistic view that their opinions on football are actually well-informed and should be treated as gospel, hence why they virtually never admit they were wrong and instead shift the goalposts.The criticsm Amad receives is really strange
Yeah, the guy is a clown.Wait, is this the same poster who said Elanga has superb technique and off the ball movement or something recently?
I had a small back and forth with him in the Martinez performance thread where he insisted Lindelof is very good on the ball and said he was comparable to Licha . Even called him 'Lindelgod' in several posts.
Either some people are just having 'fun' wumming and being different or they really believe this. With the takes in this thread also, yikes.

100% seen this far too often on the forum lately. It's all just an ego check.People are more concerned with being "right" than wanting our young players to succeed, it's to validate their narcissistic view that their opinions on football are actually well-informed and should be treated as gospel, hence why they virtually never admit they were wrong and instead shift the goalposts.
I’ve never been to Old Trafford, but the impression I get is one of fans being very reluctant to come down hard on players (unlike say Arsenal fans.) I’m also under the impression that it’s the same with the traveling support. Am I mistaken?That can only happen if we as fans create an ideal atmosphere for our young players to grow.

It's 20. So it's ok?
A loan is not to tear it up in the championship. It is to learn the game and playing competitive football every week and getting valuable experience under his belt.
It can also be the other way too, many people on here were clamouring for him to be involved in the first team straight away, when he clearly wasn't ready. That wouldn't have been helpful either.
I think fans just need to be patient, which is difficult for sure.
I'm just happy he is getting game time as he never seemed to settle at Rangers.

No one knows the future, it is all about development and the important point is that he is playing.
As for the price tag, every club signs some young players in the hope that they can develop into something and save them a lot of money. 20m is not too much. There is no guarantee to it working, but if it works then it saves a lot of money. If we do end up paying 40m, then clearly it worked well for us.
The reason we are struggling is not because we spend a little on the likes of Amad or Pellistri, it is because our big signings like Pogba, Maguire, Sancho etc. have been poor. Rather spend 10-20m on signings like these, than stupidly keep spunking 80-90m on players on huge wages who lose all value as they fail.

I think you're right to an extent. However, its also the fact we get the £10-20m signings wrong too.
Why did we turn down Caicedo at £5m and Enzo Fernandez at £15m, yet we found money for Amad and Pellisti?
We not only mess up the big transfers, we mess up pretty much all transfers. Prior to this summer, we've tended to buy in areas we don't need. While neglecting areas where we badly need to do something.
We were linked to Julian Alvarez, would've been a similar fee. Didn't go for him. He ended up at City. Now everyone and their dog is crying for a striker. Its just hard to figure out what the hell goes on inside the club. This summer was the first time, in a while, where you could see exactly what we were trying to address. Mostly its a dog's dinner and signing Amad falls into that category.
I hope the kid goes on to be an absolutely unbelievable inside right, proper competition for Antony. However, at this point, I don't believe he will. He couldn't get in the team when Greenwood had to get ejected from the squad, he couldn't really get a go at Rangers. Okay, he's doing alright at Sunderland. However, being a Sunderland level player is not the return you'd want for what we paid. Not yet anyway and not when we had so many other areas of the squad to fix.
You really shouldn’t expect speed with Diallop.Any chance we could upgrade his top end pace a little?.

I wouldn’t know anything about the support at the ground for a player as i live halfway around the world and have never attended a match. What i meant was to create an atmosphere online by our fans which gets to the young players one way or another.I’ve never been to Old Trafford, but the impression I get is one of fans being very reluctant to come down hard on players (unlike say Arsenal fans.) I’m also under the impression that it’s the same with the traveling support. Am I mistaken?
We bought Garnacho for 400k, Diallo came for £20 million up front. Obviously our expectations of Diallo are going to be high. I've been disappointed up to now.You’ll get some of these fans in the Garnacho thread soon too.
Just give them a fair crack at developing before throwing them under the bus.
