Well we did tell him if he signed for us he would win trophies
How was he?
Well, yeah, possibly. Courtinho is a very good player- but like Bruno, he's highly erratic...
Should loan him to Celtic next year for the craic
He does have an Irish flag next to his name
He was ok. First half was a disjointed affair but whenever the ball made its way to him he would always initiate something that ended with a shot on goal, should have done better with a headed chance towards the end of the half.
Second half he started to show his quality a bit more, played a great ball over the top of the defence that Kent should have finished off easily but didn't. Got booked after a foul on Liam Boyce (I feel like Boyce bought the booking tbh considering what else had been let go up to that point) he then flew into another challenge after the same ref didn't give him what was an obvious foul/obstruction. GvB hooked him not long after.
You can tell the quality and talent is there in abundance with him, EtH and the technical staff will just have to decide whether or not he can bring it out of him here or whether he needs a loan to a team that is going to play in a similar style.
He’s much more frail looking than those two though.
He was all right. Some good moments but also missed 1 or 2 good chances. And Scott Wright arguably changed the game when he came on for him. He was far more positive and adventurous than Diallo who played it safe too often.
This is Messi esque......
He was not. He was far from a world-class player, just like United is far from being one of the best clubs. Remove the penalties and his stats aren’t that impressive, compounded by the theory of him ruining the attacking synergy for the players around him. A world-class player does not play four positions each game and mess up for the others, they stay in their lane and make others better. Bruno needs to work on his positioning and tactical awareness, as well as decision-making when it comes to passing, shooting and handling risky situations before even thinking about being world-class. Furthermore; consistency is paramount for a world-class player, you don’t see de Bruyne at 8 to 4 to 7 to 3, he is 7-8-9 in every single game when he needs to be on.

He definitely deserves a shot here. His off the ball work does look good and playing deeper he is very creative. Our very own Bernardo Silva in the making
he reminds me a lot of Antony
I would like to see him in the middle, where Bruno plays. I think his loan was a good one, not a raving success but good experience. Was on the bench most games, played a few, scored 3, maybe his average minutes could have been more. He does look more confident, being hurled off at Celtic could have broken him, he came back stronger which tells me mentally he wants to get better. He also looks stronger, slightly bigger frame than when he first went there.
His first touch looks elite. Looks like his finishing could do with some work from that compilation but I like that he’s confident shooting with both feet. I’m hoping he stays next season. With Europa League and 5 subs in the league he should get plenty of minutes as second choice on the right wing.
Maybe he ends up there, but starting him off the flank might make for a smoother transition into the first team. It's harder to have the awareness of whats going on centrally and there's more opportunity for game time at RW, a position for which we have 0 players as it stands.
Oh I totally agree, AMC is too complex for a youngster unless they are an immediate star. I probably didn't make it super clear, I did mean eventually or gradually from now. I wouldn't chuck him there against City, but maybe a league cup game against Salford would be a start.
He needs to be sent somewhere he gets regular game time. Ajax itself will be a perfect place for him, or a Championship side.
He's got fantastic technique, he really has. I think he's more of an attacking midfielder than a winger to be honest. A good coach will be able to make a player out of him I'm sure, hopefully ETH can be that coach.
I still he think he will be one of the best in the world. But next season is probably still to early for him to play a meaningful role for us.
There will be a lull and when Amad has no game time or a poor 10mins, the naysayers will be back. What a waste of £40Million. Another Ole Botch-up. Why on earth did we even buy him? The club is in such a mess -- who pays £40M for a player no one has ever heard of in Italy? And why did we not send him out on loan two years ago?
Amad, why are you so polemic?
Amad, why are you so polemic?
I don't think we have a single left footed attacker, so he might get a chance at least in preseason.
He definitely has plenty of potential. Excellent first touch, good dribbling and he seems to have an eye for a defence splitting pass. We should keep him as a backup on the RW as we don’t have the necessary squad depth with a bunch of players leaving the club this summer.
He has a really high ceiling. We just need to be patient.
I imagine he'll have pre-season with us like all of our other returning loan players and will have his chance to impress the new boss. A couple of our youngsters will do that and will likely be kept here with cameos off the bench and the rest will go out on loan again. Maybe he does well and features in the plans this season and maybe he doesnt.
Based on what I saw from his Rangers minutes I think a championship loan would be good.

Fantastic technical ability. His finishing could do with some work mind.
Spot on. He will be in the frame, as will everyone who starts pre season. Some will shine, some will not, and I think that several players who have been written of by a number of posters will suddenly 'get their mojo back', and will surprise us.
Amad certainly has a lot of ability, and it will be interesting to see how he 'fits in' with players like Hannibal, Shoretire and other academy prospects.
Problem with another loan is the poor lad has had to play under so many different coaches/managers and their respective philosophies from Atalanta to Ole to GVB that his brain has got to be an ensalada of styles and instructions.
Playing at the championship then returning to ETHs philosophy in 12 months time would feck anyone's brain up
Worked fine for Mount. I know he had a buffer period under Lampard before Tushel but he was already excellent for Chelsea that first season in the premier league after his championship loan where he was playing so well he got an England call up
It would mainly be so he gets used to physicality in the adult game and with lesser opponents than the premier league so he can stand out a bit more a bit easier than asking him to do it straight away against premier league players.
A lot of championship sides play good football these days. It really isn't kick and lump football like it once was.
It's no surprise that a lot of them beat PL sides in the cups now.
I didn't really follow Mount's progress all that closely.
I think the stint up at Rangers would have done him some good. He gets to play in a structured competitive environment.
Also having being dropped for quite a few matches will show him that its not a linear path for him. I am sure his ego was over-blown coming over to United when he was considered in the top 5 best teenager in the world at that time. Then the U23 was just way too easy for him. And then the hiccups at Rangers.
So do I. There's something about the way he glides over the pitch that I find hypnotic. First touch, vision, weight of pass, trickery. It's all there
I dont think ego was really the issue. The issue was he was soon given a chance in the old firm derby and he was one of the worst players easily having the ball taken off him and not being up for the game. I think he would have played a lot more if it wasnt for that very bad day at an important time. And I think that simply came from not knowing how to play against physical aggressive players on the front foot looking to mug you and out-compete for every ball which is something he can learn to deal with in the championship.
Pre season and back out on loan as not ready.
I hope he isn’t being counted on as a first teamer by management.

The kind of player who would do well in a team that see a lot of the ball, under Ole he would have struggle to due to the direct style if play, but in the sort of system we are trying to establish he should be given an opportunity especially as we're embarking on a long term project.
I hope he is, but I imagine he won't be. He's our only left footed forward and in turn, our only natural right sided forward. He's a brilliant talent and one, much like Sancho, who will thrive under a more progressive and system oriented manager.
Agree
Reminds me of Antony in his first season at Ajax
He looks absolutely quality for his age.
What position does craic play in?
