  3. Amad Diallo | 2023/24 Performances

    Sometimes it’s good to be proven right !!! Was getting frustrated for the lad with his lack of game time He’s a superstar-wish he was still with us but hope he now scores the winner in the final for you -good luck. Amad Diaaalloo!! Legend at safc and now maybe just maybe United
  4. Amad Diallo | 2023/24 Performances

    I’ve watched Sunderland for 60 years and can say in a that time he is one of the most exciting young talents I’ve seen -he can destroy teams on his own ( admittedly Championship level ) but we were promoted after 4 seasons in division one and he was one of the main reasons we nearly did back to...
  5. Amad Diallo | Sunderland Loan Watch

    Just a quick update He has continued to be very good in a side missing several key players through injury Our forward play is amazing ( 60 years supporting the lads and not seen much better -Clarke -Roberts -Amad ) pity we’ve missed Ross Stewart for most of the season or we would have been...
  6. Amad Diallo | 2022/23 Performances

    He did have a quiet one. Mind Millwall played very direct on a poor pitch and it was a very very physical game . He gave the ball away more than usual -he will not have played In a game or atmosphere like that for a while ( Millwall biggest gate since 1995 I believe and their fans were right “...
  7. Amad Diallo | 2022/23 Performances

    He’s excellent . Your point is valid Re Championship v Prem -would he be given the patience he gets here when missing chances in big games in the Prem . He’s outstanding at this level -he has come on leaps and bounds under big TM but he is very patient with him and by his own admission sends him...
  8. Amad Diallo | 2022/23 Performances

    Quick update Continues to mature under the guidance of TM ( as do our very young side ).He’s told just to play and enjoy himself . He relished the responsibility of playing in a “derby “ v Boro as part of our fabulous front four -his reaction after he scored was worth the entrance money alone ...
  9. Amad Diallo | 2022/23 Performances

    F 3 -I think One thing for sure it’s the most I’ve enjoyed watching football in a long long time and he’s a part of that .. There is also a clear connection between our young squad ( 9 under 23 on Boxing Day ) and the fans Everyone at every club likes to see young lads enjoy themselves and...
  10. Amad Diallo | 2022/23 Performances

    Simms was good for us ( particularly being so young) but not a game changer and our number 2 striker .Stewart is the one we cannot afford to lose. -he’s been out 14 games injured but his goals to games is a credit to him -Simms slotted in but another good striker would do well in this side as we...
  11. Amad Diallo | 2022/23 Performances

    As a Sunderland season ticket holder here goes …. When first played looked a bit light weight and lacking in confidence ( maybe after not playing that much in Scotland) However , he came on as a sub -gradually got game time and played in a side ( incredibly for Sunderland) that has pace and a...
  12. Amad Diallo | Sunderland Loan Watch

    Now Simms has been recalled by Everton ( been good for us and interesting to see if he gets a game for them in a poor side or warms the bench) Diallo may play behind Stewart where I think he will be great -a number 10 type role .We only have one striker albeit a very good one in Stewart so...
  13. Amad Diallo | 2022/23 Performances

    He’s a game changer mate We have 4( incredible considering the garbage we’ve watched last 7 seasons or so ) Diallo Roberts Stewart ( who is immense ) and Clarke It’s the first time in years I’ve seen us play with freedom flair and more importantly pace -your man is a massive part of that He’s...
  14. Amad Diallo | Sunderland Loan Watch

    He’s gradually building his confidence I an attack minded side I’ve not witnessed since Quinn and Phillips I would say he’s loving his football ( you can see it in his face ) he’s under no pressure here-I doubt he would get in your side ? -would the bench be good for him !? Of course I’m selfish...
  15. Amad Diallo | Sunderland Loan Watch

    You have a top talent on your hands with him -not sure what went wrong at Rangers?yesterday we had 9 players under 23 -we have a “new model”of buying and developing and selling for profit ( rather than wasting millions as we have before and finding ourselves ( rightly ) in the 3rd tier for 4...
