Fact it’s a Prem loan probably indicates that EtH sees him a lil higher in the pecking order than Amad?
 
Antony is frustrating but it’s wild that people think Pellestri is anything close to the quality we need. Nor the profile of player. There’s a reason teams don’t use old style wingers anymore, certainly not with Rashford and Garnacho coming onto any crosses. Not to mention he’s a liability defensively with his positioning. He’s not ready.
 
Why are we loaning him out - he looks direct and exciting every-time I see him on the pitch - the complete opposite to Anthony - I'm getting baffled at some ETH decisions lately

Right then. What’s he like …

Right footed winger who oddly plays on the right. Very good acceleration, never scores at this stage of his career. Easily bullied off the ball. Decent link up. Good dribbler.

Your team plays 3 at the back. Would the idea be he and Hamer are the attacking mids behind one striker? I'm not sure why we'd be loaning him to a team playing 3 at the back. He'd make more sense for a team who plays with proper wingers.

He's quick, a good dribbler and definitely has talent in there, but he hasn't really had many chances to show if he can add the end product yet. In that sense the loan makes sense to see if he can add that all important final ingredient to his game while with you.

It doesnt hurt a young player to learn to play in a slightly different position. In fact it would be beneficial to us when he comes back if he has had to stretch himself a bit.
 
Hopefully Sancho and Amad will get chances at RW instead of Antony all the time. Pellistri always looked like he needed game time to me. Energetic sub isn’t enough for him right now in his career.
 
Not sure Sheff Utd is a good move. PL football but they’re without a doubt going down this season and every game will be a struggle.

Lots of potential but very raw.

One of those players who could suddenly turn a corner and become top class out of nowhere, or be bullied out of every single game.

Obviously, the odds are against him becoming top class out of nowhere. But the possibility is there, so treat his loan like buying a lottery ticket: cheap, unlikely to change your fortunes, but it gives you enough hope to make it worth the long odds.

Hojlund will be fit in a couple of weeks, so Sancho will provide competition for Antony on the right and Rashford will be back on the left. I guess that's the thinking.

Sancho hardly played on the right for us, he is even hardly good on the left.

Sounds similar to what McAtee was like when we got him last season. In that case I’m happy.

So we are leaving Antony with pretty much no competition whatsoever for few months? Great decision.

There are still four wingers at the club and Amad to come back.

Along with Bruno and Mount being options out wide now and again.

Pellistri badly needs some football, he's nowhere near ready to get it here.

Amad is back soon and he was always meant to be his #2 and he is way more experienced than Pellistri already.
 
Sancho is an option for RW too. Would be a shame for Pellistri to go but he needs playing time.

He would be an attacking midfielder in our system. Would be him alone or together with Hamer depending on opposition etc.
 
Weird move. They play with a 3 and wingbacks.

Dont see where he fits at SU in that setup when his best position is wide on the right.

Kingsley Coman is pretty old school to me.

Yeap. It will be like his Alaves loan where the team was constantly playing with the low block.
 
Amads injury probably a big factor here. It's clear one of them needs a loan and Amads injury makes him less viable.
 
I hope if he performs well and we’re not going to use him, we sell him while his stock is high. As we usually keep them ala Hendo, Tuanzebe etc and their value plummets after a season of doing feck all.

Is his stock particularly high? I don't think his loan spell pulled up any trees to particularly raise his stock much beyond what it was. The most his stock ever rose was when Man United plucked him out of Uruguay and it hasn't really gone anywhere from there. Unless he gets games this season and produces some performances I don't think there will be huge demand on the market.

Personally I think he has the potential to be a good little player and I'd be tempted to punt on him. But it would be a punt. I think he's worth a go for a team with good physical presence across their attack and maybe midfielders that are physical and have the ability to break into the box.

Bruno and Mount are average right side option and don't bring us any danger from there whatsoever, especially with counter attacking style of football we play.

But they're on top of the four owingers (plus Amada) at the club. So I'm not sure why selling Pellistri =no competition for Antony.

How many wingers should we have?

Bruno and Mount have no reason to play on right wing, they aren't here to play there. Just because they can play there it doesn't mean they are good option there.

Amad is injured, and it's not a soft injury by the looks of it.

But discounting Bruno, Amad and Mount, we've still got 4 wingers including Antony.

That's plenty of cover and plenty of competition.

Sounds logical but I think they are all in there together, competing for any place they can get in the side. Sancho has been used all over the place.

But, it’s true, EtH has certain players he uses in the exact same way every time. Someone in here asked why can’t we try Antony on the left but that seems so unlikely to happen.
 
Loaning Pellistri out is crazy. We are going to need him in this season
 
The kid needs to play. Another season of him sitting on the bench isn’t going to do anyone any favours.
 
I know we’re on our knees right now with our options. Wish him luck but this kid is not the solution either.
