Sorry, poor wording. As a pair.Hannibal cost £5m.
Nowhere yet, he's still injured.Where did Pellistri end up?

Like the player who shall remain unnamed (PWSRU) he needs to bulk up in the right places and bob's your uncle.Sunderland striker Ross Stewart picked up an injury before the match, so there will be more opportunities in the forward line for Diallo.
Looked like he didnt have the greatest debut going off social media comments but apparently Sunderland were shite as a whole.

I watched the game. I thought he was very decent. Unlucky not to get an assist as well.Sunderland striker Ross Stewart picked up an injury before the match, so there will be more opportunities in the forward line for Diallo.

He got 17 minutes + 3 added on in the end, was played as a false 9 and genuinely looked lost.Cracking idea to loan him to a club signing shit loads of players without a manager.
Sunderland play a 3-5-2 under Mowbray - haven’t got a clue where he fits in other than up top in that system. All summer to find him a loan where he desperately needs to play and this is what they decided on.He got 17 minutes + 3 added on in the end, was played as a false 9 and genuinely looked lost.
Mejbri is getting the same treatment tonight with warming the Birmingham bench.
I expected nothing less from whoever decides the loans at the club, look at the previous loans across the board. How many players have had consecutive successful loans? Even Garner was sent to Watford before returning back to Forest after struggling, then there's Laird who was doing very, very well at Swansea, pulled and sent to Bournemouth to warm the bench.Sunderland play a 3-5-2 under Mowbray - haven’t got a clue where he fits in other than up top in that system.

What's with the negativity? He was very good when he came on and should've had an assist. I'm sure he will play a lot. It's just his second game, and he has played in both.
What does it say about Amad and Pellestri?Move him on with Pellestri at the end of the season. Absolutely terrible signings . Almost 200 Million spent on wingers since these 2 were bought says enough .
Considering that's from 20 odd minutes or less, that looks a pretty decent performance. His use of the ball in just about every situation was impressive
Certainly that the fuss about Amad when he signed wasnt warranted. If he really was the best player to have played against our youth teams it would be a bit surprising. I didnt expect to see Pellistri in the first team, but with the finances of the Amad deal and saying he was our best young opponent, we seemed to be building him up as someone special. Now it looks like he could be a good player eventually, with plenty of experience and improved attitude as he matures but he could also be a washout if he doesnt prove himself in the championship and then to a premier league level.What does it say about Amad and Pellestri?
That they’re not up to the standard clearlyWhat does it say about Amad and Pellestri?
Nah I agree, looks to have a really good eye for a pass and very good close control but gets pushed around way too easily.When I’ve seen him he looks quick witted but lacking physical pace, anyone seen more of him and can set me straight on that?
He reminds me of Raheem Sterling just now but I wonder if he can develop into a traditional 10.
Don't get that comparison. Sterling has always been good at taking defenders on and driving into the box. Amad strikes me as more of a technical player, clever passer and quick feet. But he doesn't have the power or pace to get past players or even hold them off.He reminds me of Raheem Sterling just now but I wonder if he can develop into a traditional 10.
Yeah, I haven’t seen enough of him really. He has that low-centre-of-gravity thing and looks to have a sharp turn and I suppose being cast as an exciting winger expected to succeed from a young age. Probably that’s where the similarities end.Don't get that comparison. Sterling has always been good at taking defenders on and driving into the box.

Gotta love the plastic fans on here.Move him on with Pellestri at the end of the season. Absolutely terrible signings . Almost 200 Million spent on wingers since these 2 were bought says enough .
Reminds me of Sancho.Don't get that comparison. Sterling has always been good at taking defenders on and driving into the box. Amad strikes me as more of a technical player, clever passer and quick feet. But he doesn't have the power or pace to get past players or even hold them off.
Closer to his style of play than say an Antony. One-two passing, but I think he has a better eye for a final pass than Sancho.Reminds me of Sancho.
Imo he hasn't got that straight-line speed like a Rashford but he is one of those who is fast with the ball.When I’ve seen him he looks quick witted but lacking physical pace, anyone seen more of him and can set me straight on that?

That Feyenoord loan would have been fantastic for him. Feyenoord reached the final of the conference league and had a goodt season (the reason they sold basically all of their players this year). Arne Slot (Feyenoord manager) is also an excellent manager. I also feel like the Dutch league is more based on developing young players than the Scottish league is.It's a shame Amad got that injury just before the summer deadline last summer because I feel a loan to Feyenoord and Eredivisie would've been far more suitable for him than the ones to Rangers and Sunderland where there is far more of a premium on robust, physical players. If he's going to be restricted to cameos off the bench again for most of the season this feels like another fairly pointless move for him.
So I’m plastic because I know 2 players aren’t good enough ?Gotta love the plastic fans on here.
They are young and have time on their side to develop. Look at chelsea for an example. Young salah and debryne were cast aside as not being good enough. Utd develop talent. It takes time.So I’m plastic because I know 2 players aren’t good enough ?
Take a day off for yourself
