No where near as good as Amad no but in the youth ranks he looked good enough on the ball.Thing is Chong never looked good on the ball.
I'm talking about your stretch to somehow connect it to the Cavani situation. fecking bizzare mental gymnasticsCome again? See for yourself..

Same here. It's been like foreeeeeeeever that we haven't had any decent RW. But the kid is just 18, can't and should not expect much I think.Excited to see this kid play. We could finally have creativity from the right wing if all goes well
Who was responsible for tracking the fecking flight?Apparently he's landed in England.
Whoever was responsible did a terrbile fecking job. We can't expect to become champions again with that kind of ill discipline. I say sell him, sack Fergie.Who was responsible for tracking the fecking flight?
How did we mess that up?Who was responsible for tracking the fecking flight?
He’s an elusive player. This bodes well. (Unless he is Liam Miller style elusive)Who was responsible for tracking the fecking flight?
True, the most likely scenario is he spends next few months getting used to the first team, with game time in the reservesSame here. It's been like foreeeeeeeever that we haven't had any decent RW. But the kid is just 18, can't and should not expect much I think.

It’s not the most likely scenario - our need for RW reinforcement is dire, and it’s very likely that Ole will start to use him at least occasionally (having threat from the right is simply more important than giving a youngster more time to adjust).True, the most likely scenario is he spends next few months getting used to the first team, with game time in the reserves
Also, he does track back and provide support to his full back. Far better in one on ones and link up play than Greenwood and stays out wide which will suit AWB for the underlap.
What I do particularly like, skill apart, is the ability to know when to release the ball, and it's perfectly weighted
I think it's mostly annoying that he has more than doubled the fee for clicks and suggesting that singing a player for potential like this is some sign of incompetence.Ogden used to be on the United beat years ago. Then he was banned by Fergie for reporting (correctly) that Rio was injured. Day to day sports journalism requires you to be on good terms with the people you cover. It requires access but sometimes you risk annoying the people you cover. A manager's interest in keeping tactics, lineups and transfers secret is diametrically opposed to a journalist's interest. 'Getting the truth out' regarding matchday lineups is not quite the same as reporting on the Pentagon Papers, a fact that Ogden's colleague (and superior journalist) Daniel Taylor seemed to grasp: A football club isn't a democracy.
Still, Ogden makes a fair point no? Lot of money for a guy who has barely played.
We could have got mbappe for the money we paid for diallo + the Sancho money£110m for this kid and we passed on Sancho
I just meant racism in general, the cavani incident which is no ones fault, now someone on the social team lazily picking any old black dude cos “they all look the same”. Not that’s that’s what I think happened, just that that’s how it will be construed..I'm talking about your stretch to somehow connect it to the Cavani situation. fecking bizzare mental gymnastics
Took his time, lazy cnutApparently he's landed in England.
Did anyone watch this vid? The guy in the studio is really hyping him up to the high heavens. Hope he's right..
Let's see how he goes on, no need to have high expectations until at least he shows something in competitive gamesIt’s not the most likely scenario - our need for RW reinforcement is dire, and it’s very likely that Ole will start to use him at least occasionally (having threat from the right is simply more important than giving a youngster more time to adjust).
Said the same a week or so back. The more highlights I see of him, the more I think it.He reminds me a lot of Mane.
Has the same burst of pace, low center of gravity and even his ball running technique seems a bit similar.
If we are getting 50% of what Liverpool got out of Mane, its worth the investment. Just saying
I remember the arrival of Ronaldo: he started playing well right from the start. So why not Diallo as well?Let's see how he goes on, no need to have high expectations until at least he shows something in competitive games
Sell him in the summer. Can't have more viruses at the club.Took his time, lazy cnut
I don't think I'll ever forget that cameo against Bolton, with the fancy stepovers. It would be extremely unfair to put that level of expectation on Amad though, let's just see how gets on in these strange times and update our expectations after seeing what he can do in the first team.I remember the arrival of Ronaldo: he started playing well right from the start. So why not Diallo as well?
Yeah I am very curious to see how he adapts to this league and still hopeful he makes the squad in a couple of weeks timeI would like to see this kid play. His movement reminds me about Messi. No one knows how good he will be but i like the idea of signing technical dribblers like him. These are the players which can make miracles to happen. Doesn´t mean they always success though.
Google Sadio Mane Metz and look at his thighs and core, you can see that Mane could play as a 9 (or hell a fullback or DM) whereas Diallo is much smaller, not gonna be near as strong. I think we''re looking at more assists but less goals if hr's everything we could realistically hope for in a RW. Mane is a 1 in 2 goalscorer on the wing and not a huge assists guy (though healthy number back in Austria).He reminds me a lot of Mane.

I like that Ole put him in his place in one press conference recently. Think he asked some banal completely unnecessary and frankly stupid question relating to transfers or individual game tactics which everyone knew was never going to be answered and Ole just went, "what sort of question is that?" in an annoyed tone and just dismissed it out of hand.Ogden used to be on the United beat years ago.

Yep, the one and the same.Wasn't it Ogden who got caught mocking Harry Kane recently? He seems like one of the least professional journalists if anything.
Yeah, he's a monumental bellend.Wasn't it Ogden who got caught mocking Harry Kane recently? He seems like one of the least professional journalists if anything.
I didn’t want to say, but I remember watching Messi in the B team and his very early Barca days and they are very similar in terms of ball control, touch and pass (handling) and his pace and directness. I think Messi looked stronger but he was also growing from the steroids/HGH.I would like to see this kid play. His movement reminds me about Messi.

Doubt it. 4 forwards?Hope we get to see a front four of Bruno, Rashford, Cavani and Diallo at some point this season.
