Elanga having superb touch, technique and balance?!
I'm not one of those posters but based on his senior appearances.....

With the level Ajax has been performing at over the last 5 years, what makes you think we would be anywhere near interested in signing Diallo on a two year loan? I don't think he would improve our first team at all, and we have no incentive whatsoever to develop him for you guys
When you say most people, you mean most on here.
However those in the game seem to have a very different opinion, an opinion that seems to align with mine.
I think it probably comes down to what people deem to be technique.
For me his goal against Brentford is pure technical ability, great balance and poise.
Said it before but I don't see that eye of the tiger with him. No aggression about him.
I agree. Seems decent enough technically, but so timid even in friendly games.
I hope he goes back to Rangers and do a full season there and make the doubters eat their words
Good to see him warming up so hopefully on for Chong in the second half. Think he'll link up very well with Ronaldo, Eriksen, Garnacho and co...
Strikers follow up and finish 
He’s been working his socks off. Should have had a penalty just there after brilliantly dispossessing a defender.
Much better than CHong
Good goal today
Better than Elanga.
Probably his best first team performance so far.
Better stuff today, well done.
Looked decent. Wish he would bulk up
He’s much better than this too, hope he gets his confidence back up.
So much better today.
Hes looks pretty good
That was a very good half from him, lightyears ahead of anything he has shown before.
Loved that dribble near the end, he seemed to get a bit of his mojo back. He looks so effortless when playing for our reserves but at the adult level he always overthinks stuff.
Kinda like Sancho at the beginning of last season (not that I compare them directly — they're clearly at a very different stages of their development).

Impressive half.
This was definitely a penalty, by the way.
Defensive stats probably none too shabby as well. Pressed like a maniac.
May have just saved his united career with that goal. Good attitude and technique, I can see why the club want to work on him instead of selling him on.
Took his goal well, was tidy on the ball. Showed his qualities after Zidane introduction which gave us extra control.
He's obviously got great technique but in the final third he's got great instincts.
That's not easy to teach, and that's often where talented attackers fail to take the step up. But he seems to have got an inherent ability to end up in the right place in the final third and he knows what to do. I remember listening to a podcast from the rangers fans, and they mentioned his underlying numbers were incredible whenever he was on the pitch.

These are his numbers for Rangers.
Good football brain and technique. If he keeps at it, he’ll be useful.
Aye, he looked good.
Interestingly being played in the striker position by both Ole and now ETH.
Will be interesting to see how he will develop in the next stage of his career.

Are we okay for the front 3 positions if Ronaldo stays or am I jumping the gun here?
Martial
Ronaldo
Rashford
Sancho
Garnacho
Amad
Martial
Ronaldo
Rashford
Sancho
Garnacho
Amad
Not for me.
Probably not. Garnacho and Amad have potential, but at this stage you want them understudying players at the top of their game. Too many question marks about Rashford, Martial and Ronaldo for one reason or another. We'll be fortunate if two of them have good seasons. I expect one of them to have a good season, and wouldn't be surprised if all three underdeliver.
Don't think so no.
For top 4? That is more than enough.
I do wonder what his best position will ultimately be. Seems to lack the pace and explosiveness you expect of modern wide forwards, and probably lacks the raw physicality to flourish more centrally. Interesting talent though.
Really can't understand why it's impossible for some to praise certain players without comparing them to others.
A decent loan - going and getting 40 odd starts somewhere I think would do him a lot of good and hopefully give us a bit more of an idea.
