Seems like should be an option on the wings
Amad Diallo | Sunderland Loan Watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Just wondering if Sunderland don't make the play offs will Amad come straight back to Utd? Only curious if it was possible if he could play in the FA cup final? As he's young doesn't have to be registered i think in the squad,
Will he not be cup tied? Unsure if he played in an earlier round for Sunderland?
He played in both their cup ties so yes he would be cup-tied.
My loanee
Berbatov-esque
I'm completely aware of this.
He is either injured or coming back from an injury.
And even when he isn't injured, he isn't good enough to lead the line of a title winning team.
Weghorst and Martial - tragic.
Why do we have another 2 years of it? Surely he’s being sold and we’re 100% buying a starting ST this summer.
Which club would buy him and Martial actually agree to go to?
Loads of clubs will be interesting. He was at Sevilla last season. Teams of that calibre will snap him up and he’ll join if he we tell him he isn’t first team anymore.
Amad might be slight and not the strongest, but he presses and tracks back a lot. In fact, he even did that before he went on loan.
At his current wages? I don't think those clubs you mention are paying that
That’s with us subsidising his wages.
This is why several managers have prefered Elanga over him.
I'd like to see Sancho moved on and Diallo or Pellistri take his spot in the team.
Deserved winner is Scott, he's a magnificent young player who will be in the premiership next season for sure.definitely shouldn’t be tweeting that!
Can’t say I watch the Championship obviously but the guy leading the newly promoted team to the playoffs > the guy in 14th
Amad was never going to win the award anyhow as the EFL dont like giving it to loanees.
Being at Sevilla and playing regularly for Sevilla are two different things and the latter never happened, his loan was a flop and no team will match his wage demands.
Can't say I'm a fan of that attitude but he's young I suppose.
My only doubt around Amad is his approach to the game and that tweet kind of falls in line with it.
To me there's a self indulgent element to his game, a style over substance ego thing going on.
He's obviously mega talented but I hope his game isn't about looking the part as an individual. It's about final product, making an impact for the team.
I take it this lad has found his way again, because he looked totally lost for the most part of his time at Rangers?
Always interested to see how players that have played for us (Rangers) go on and do, loan and young players included.

Hadn’t seen you in this thread in a while, welcome back!A Bernardo Silva, type?
Agree with the first bit - not sure what he's doing getting involved there, but as you say, the silliness of youth.
On the other hand, Amad is definitely a team player. He's brilliant technically and it's obvious to see, not because he showboats or anything like that. It's just obvious.
He doesn't hold onto the ball too long, always looks for a pass, doesn't take selfish shots - in fact, Mowbray specifically worked with him to make him more selfish, and has expressed his views that Amad is too nice and should demand the ball more from his teammates.
Personally, I feel United have a lot to be thankful to Mowbray for. One of my major gripes with Amad before he went to Sunderland was that he wasn't always decisive in the final third. Even with his few opportunities for us and Rangers, there were cases where after some good play, he just didn't seem assured when he got close to the box, and even when he did shoot, it was without conviction. This season, his shooting has improved massively (particularly the power he can generate behind them), and if there's a pass, even in a packed box, he's likely to see it and complete it.
Stronger version of David Silva
He's not even a pound land David Silva. Also David Silva wasn't weak, a ridiculous misconception made from his stature.
Pellistri for Sancho weakens the team
Hope Sunderland come up so we can offer him a full season in the PL with them. I think there's a really good chance he can make it with us, but we'll unlikely be in a position to offer him the minutes - especially if we bring in an out and out number 9 and push Rashford back to the left.
Unprofessional. Also undeniably funny.
United fans tend to bracket Silva with Mata not knowing their physicality was the major reason one is a premier league great and the other a decent big club player.
It frees up a lot of funds for a player who shouldn't be starting
Silva wasn't strong but he was aggressive and agile as feck while having impeccable control which made him so hard to take the ball off of. And doesn't have any of those qualities to the extent Silva had, or Bernardo Silva... Not to say he can't develop into a similar style of player, but highly doubt he'll get to their level.
Rangers fecked him around. He's far too good for them.
Bit of a dick move that. Just congratulate him and move on.
Many think that's what he ends up as, which would be unreal for us. Sort of a versatile swiss army knife that can play wide or through the middle with elite technique
You're not freeing up many funds because his wages won't entice other clubs unless United decide to still pay for a good portion of those wages.
I think Amad's current level is probably a bit over-rated here because of his strong season in the Championship but his control is as impeccable as anyone in the game's. Plenty of talent to build on for the future.
We'll probably end up paying half of his wages and get about half what we paid for him. That's good enough I think.
I think that tweet is a bit of cheek. Unnecessary perhaps, but probably just a bit of fun. I don't think we have to take everything so seriously. Do we want players to be able to say something remotely interesting or not?
