Fallen Muppet. Lest we never forget
I watched his Blackburn side a handful of times and they were a good attacking team. Think it will be good for him.What play style does their manager prefer? Would Amad fit there?

This lad needs games, we turned down Sheffield United last year where he would have gotten much needed game time. If he goes to Sunderland injuries permitting he could get upto 40 games, that's more than he has played so far in his career.Should go two years to Dortmund.
It depends on the players he has at his disposal. He's utilised a possession based attacking play style where his team was averaging 57% possession and he's also reverted to playing on the counter attack. It all depends on the players you have.So some guys say he is an attacking manager, others think he is as defensive as it gets…
Can't get off the bench in Scotland nevermind DortmundShould go two years to Dortmund.
Tell me you know absolutely nothing about that manager without telling me you know absolutely nothing.The guy that use to manage West Brom. Are they taking the pi££. He’s as defensive as they come.
My first thoughts when reading about the loan was "they don't even have a manager, are we trying to sabotage his career" but this makes a bit more sense now. It really has to be a great move for him at this stage of his development.Seems like Sunderland are recruiting a number of young French speaking players which can only help Amad settle into his new surroundings.

Yes. Currently midtableAre Sunderland in the Championship?
Antony is 1cm taller than Amad according to google.Amad is really small and weak, but Elanga is also a piss take, couple of times he tried to get past a player over the weekend and he was brushed aside like a feather. Amad in comparison goes into more duels and is more evident how weak he is.
Watching him play at Rangers I always got the feeling that he was on a different wavelength to the rest of the players. Once he had the ball, the other players didn't seem to know what his next move was or they were running in straight lines or static in other times.I think he will light up the championship if he can stay fit and become more aggressive.
Any reason for giving up on him? Ideally he’d have a productive loan spell and return to United ready to contributeThat’s good. Hopefully impresses and he gets a permanent move.
I just don’t really see it. There’s nothing about his game that screams top level.Any reason for giving up on him? Ideally he’d have a productive loan spell and return to United ready to contribute
He's only 1cm shorter than Antony but looks more solidly built.Amad still is quite slight, though surprisingly strong for his size. Its hard to write him off at the moment but he needs football now.
Their owner is French and has links to French football.Seems like Sunderland are recruiting a number of young French speaking players which can only help Amad settle into his new surroundings.

Don't know if it's necessarily his physique that's the issue with Amad. He's quite small and slight but he uses his body well in contact and is good at tracking back. I think an area he needs to improve is his aggression and intensity during games. Has the mini-Berbatov about him in that he's effortless on the ball but just needs to be a bit more alert and show some intensity in his pressing and off ball running.He's only 1cm shorter than Antony but looks more solidly built.
He needs time. One of the more technically skilled players we have.Don't know if it's necessarily his physique that's the issue with Amad.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm in the pro-Amad camp but I have been trying to work out why its not working for him because he's immensely gifted but there's a reason he wasn't getting selected for Rangers and for United despite having decent production in the few opportunities he's received for both clubs.He needs time.

They probably still play O'Shea and Brown in centre of defense.Are Sunderland in the Championship?
He's a Sancho-type winger. He needs players to play cute one/two passes to create space & opportunities. You saw that in the U23s.Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm in the pro-Amad camp but I have been trying to work out why its not working for him because he's immensely gifted but there's a reason he wasn't getting selected for Rangers and for United despite having decent production in the few opportunities he's received for both clubs.
Didn't believe it so I actually google it and it turns you're right. Amad is 1 cm smaller than Antony and 2 cm smaller than Lisandro.Antony is 1cm taller than Amad according to google.
He may well have been learning English but having a French speaking team mate of a African ground can only help him settle in quicker imo.Their owner is French and has links to French football.
Not sure why this would help Amad though, he's been learning English for the last two years so am sure he's pretty decent by now!
If he was to end up being a number 10, he wouldn't need 10 inches. Some wingers are also not huge. The boy needs minutes before we decide on him. His talent is very clear, he just has been mismanaged since he got here.Never understood this signing, what did Utd expect? Did they think he was gonna grow 10 inches and fill out like the Rock? This was always going to be his body shape….
Presumably, like somebody like Lingard before him, they hoped he would fill out and learn to use his body better by his early twenties but also would just graft and take any opportunities given. He's not done badly but you need to do a bit more than "not bad" to get into teams chasing for honours.Never understood this signing, what did Utd expect?
