Hope to see Amad do well, even at the worst club on the planet.
Amad Diallo | Rangers loan watch
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
it’s hard for skilful/graceful players to get into the groove here and that’s even without any competition from his own teammates. Look at Sancho and Havertz and they’ve been playing mens football at a high level for years before they came in. Now look at Amad. He might even come in and hit a goal or assist here and there but in reality he’s miles off being physically ready to be a consistently good PL player. All the freaking out about him not breaking through at 19 is silly. He should have been on loan since the start of this season but he got injured. No biggie. We found him a good loan. Nice step up for him. I’d imagine he goes out next season too.
feck this move.
However I hope he doesnt wear his Ivory Coast wristband at Ibrox

Nice to see Rangnick is not sitting on his hands. If your not playing a player move them out on sale or loan. Serves no purpose to have these guys sitting on the end of a bench.
He's not gone to Liverpool
Really fuking hate rangers...really love Utd....looking forward to seeing how I process seeing him in a Rangers shirt. Really think he has something.
Hate Rangers.
Fear he'll get eaten alive by the combative nature of the Scottish League.
Could do him good, or he could get injured pretty damn quick.
Is he eligible for European games? They have Dortmund coming up soon. Also Celtic in a few weeks, be good to see him against top opposition.

Van Bronckhorst has played a 4231 since coming in with the wingers hugging the touch line. There’s an opening on the right flank if he can take it. Hopefully he hits the ground running as we’ve got Celtic on Wednesday.
Signed from Atalanta for too much money
Like Pellistri
Like Pellistri
It was 19m with addons lets not pretend we blew our wod on him. He's 19 and had the potential to be a great player for us, this loan move is exactly what he needs. I'll definitely be checking him out when I can spare the time
That summer we spent £75m on VDB, Amad and Pellestri.
Hate Rangers but now I’ve to watch them play
This made me chuckle.
Good luck Amad! Are Rangers still in Europe? Can he play if so?
Good move this. Rangers will have the ball in the vast majority of games and he plays under big-club pressure.
Hopefully he does well there and gets plenty of game time.
This
Delighted with the deal. 
Always had a soft spot for Rangers, and it's a good level of club for Amad to go to. Just like Feyenoord would have been but for the injury.
He should get a good amount of game time - or, at least, he should get the opportunity to establish himself as a regular provided he performs well enough. They'll have the ball a lot and do a lot of attacking. And he'll experience the pressure of a big home crowd and the pressure of battling for trophies.
All loans can go wrong, of course, but this is the right kind of move to give it the best chance of being a beneficial one.

I’m feeling sick
See what he can do.
Typically in Scotland, the best attribute that decent players can have, is to be an ‘injury avoider’ and not a ‘sick note’ type.
As in, some of the pitches are poor, some are artificial and more importantly, there are many hammer throwers playing for teams that when faced with quality do their best to break them up. Literally.

Or if he doesn’t produce consistent performances up there, then potentially he doesn’t justify a place in the United Squad.
(Based on your logic).
I watched VVD for Celtic. He was immense.
Very cool on the ball, shrugged off a lot of the opposition, carried the ball through the midfield on runs, scored from outside the box and was a great aerial threat at corners. It was clear he would move on to better things.
Although, clubs like Southampton (other premier league clubs are available) seem to be the litmus test for pros leaving Scotland before ending up at Top 4 - 6 Clubs.
Wanyama was another midfield unit that I thought world do well. Made it past the litmus, but at Spurs it didn’t happen long term (mainly due to injury).
PS. King Henrik being the exception.
One word: inflation. Spending 20m on a player now is the equivalent of spending 4m on a player in 2008, given the rise in football revenues.
Amad & Pellistri could still become first team regulars or at least, be sold for a profit over their purchase price.
Great move for him but he will have to compete for a starting place. Rangers have plenty of the ball against most teams so, if he gets a start, he will see plenty of action.
He was talking about understanding the language
All our transfer fees include every potential add-on as realized. For both Pellestri and Amad, the actual transfer fee paid out would be roughly half the numbers quoted.
If we're spending big money on a player, the media goes out of the way to calculate the lifetime value of the contract as well which I rarely see for any other club.
I'm sure a few fish suppers washed down with a can of Irn Bru should sort him out.
This looks like a great move for Amad. A few months of regular football combined with a lot of physical work should see him ready to compete in our squad next season. I still have high hopes for him personally. His dribbling ability, vision and weight of pass are at a high level already.
Delighted with the signing. We've been needing a RW since even before Hagi got injured. He'll definitely get game time. Apparently getting a boy from city too (McAtee).
It's not far off. 40 mill for VDB, 19 mill for Amad, 7.65 mill for Pellistri. So £66.65 mill.
How on earth do you make this judgement about a player who has made 14 senior appearances in his entire career?
Here we go, Donny was £35m. Not £40m.
Any chance he starts tomorrow vs Ross County?
Ahh dammit. See, even someone who is usually quite wary of transfer fees can be swayed by constant misreporting. Ok but still 61 million that summer for not one starting XI player is crazy. Although I do think at least Amad will have been a worthy investment.
Agreed, its actually a joke. But the other poster is correct in his statement. They will report Martial £50m when it wasn't, Amad £30m but Diaz for Liverpool is being reported the initial fee not the 25m add ons.
He's in the squad and will definitely feature. You'll get to see him on Wednesday night in the old firm. He'll start that one as we won't play Wright from the beginning.
I think it is a great loan.
I hate watching our younger attacking players go on loan to teams who never have the ball and hardly ever attack.
I think he will do great.

Pellestri and Amad weren’t signed to start immediately - they’re signings for the future. City have spent the same on Kayky and Alvarez - as usual United fans are in meltdown over it because we want all the shiny toys - whilst at the same time we’re getting slammed for doing the same thing. The DVB signing was the shit signing - signing a Bruno backup for 35m over a DM was a big mistake - not the other two who if even one of them turns out to be first team quality will be money very well spent.
Hope he does well and gets the games to show what he can do.
I think Rangers have got a real cue here. I fully expect him to do very well for you. If he gets the games I think he could really make a mark in the Scottish league
I've always wondered why top clubs in England don't use Celtic and Rangers for more loans. I know City a few seasons back loaned Celtic some fringe players. They get to play in a team expected to win, huge fan bases, the pace and intensity compares to the Pl if not the quality, and they get to play in europe as well. We have Pellistri on loan with Alaves, 2nd bottom of la liga, conceded more than twice what they have scored. He's played 30 odd games with no goals scored. I just feel if he went up there, the most important thing is he would get confidence, either team wins most of their games. It must be soul destroying week in week out going out for Alaves knowing you'll lose
Delighted he has went to Rangers, he looks so light weight and I think his lack of being able to deal with the physicality of the English game has really held him back.
Hopefully he will come back more able to deal with the physical aspect of the game. Wouldn't be against seeing Donny head of to Celtic or Rangers for the same reason, although I would guess neither would be able to cover his wages.
