He’s not a powerful dribbler but he has great control and passing. If he can become more direct and add goals to his game he’ll be a very well rounded player
No arguments there. From everything I've seen of Amad from both here and Sunderland, I like him and want him to succeed, but I'm not blind to his flaws. His lack of acceleration/pace hinders him when it comes to dribbling, but his smart body positioning between himself and the ball, decent agility and, as you say, close control still allow him to be promising under pressure.
I've likened him to Arda Turan before not only because he was a link up type 10 who played out wide, too, but because, despite not being fast himself, his close control, strength, agility and smart body positioning made up for that like it hopefully will for Amad. I'd put Nasri in there, too. Not saying he'll reach their levels but their the types of players Amad reminds me of.
He can absolutely be that player, if he has Dalot supporting him, with Mainoo in midfield. I think if we play in the opposition half like the first half today, he can absolutely have an impact.
Definitely, but a lot of it will come down to ten Hag's coaching. He needs to stop leaving our wide players so isolated in possession.
