We paid 40 million for him didn’t we? You could say that’s a premium and more than he’ll ever be worth as a footballer.
Amad Diallo | Rangers loan watch
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
No.
He hasn't been given a proper opportunity/run of games once in his professional career. I wouldn't say he's bottled it at all, he's just been very unfortunate. He would've probably got more games here than at Rangers if he had stayed, due to the Greenwood situation. In the very small sample size of playing in the PL and Europa for utd he's shown encouraging signs.
Sigh. No. We paid 17-20 something like that. We will pay 40 if he fulfills criteria, which would be a good thing.
You work for the Sun?
Still one of the most expensive teenagers in the Premier league?
Definitely expensive for what he has produced so far. His first match at Rangers he did well, his second match was the Old firm and he got hooked at half time. He has been unable to fight his way back into the team and doesn't look like doing it between now and the end of the season.
Overall an unsuccessful loan but if he learns from it and applies himself under ETH he may do well. He is not a lost cause, yet, although he does have an awful lot to do to justify his price tag.
Yeah, Probably. FYI I just corrected him on the post. Nothing else to my post.
Was reading in The Athletic that supposedly Bournemouth passed on a loan after Kieran McKenna, a friend of Scott Parker's, expressed reservations about Diallo's ability to adapt to the Championship because of his size. Has he done much to disprove that in Scotland?
Oh no doubt, just wanted to point that out!
I really want him to succeed here, and I think under Ten Hag he'll have no excuses as it should suit his style, my theory (unfounded and just plain hopeful) is that we mainly sent him out to get away from this squad and the bad influences within it.
I'm using the word hope a lot, but hopefully he can shine next season.
@Sammy McIlroys fan club agree, as I said above, Ten Hag should play into his strengths and he'll have no excuses, just hope he can rise to the level required.
He needs to bulk up physically. Maybe after the summer, he will give all of us a surprise after some dedicated hard work.
His loan at Rangers has came a year to early. He looks like a wee boy out there, ideally we'd get him on another year's loan and he can spend the summer going through puberty and putting some mass on.
Not at all. And a concern if McKenna has reservations about him.
Starting in his natural position at Rangers this evening.
Goalkeeper?
On the bench
Scottish football gets slaughtered by people in England, but (on the park) it's raw and honest and you have to be of a certain disposition to shine up here. If you're soft, you won't survive.
Giovanni Van Bronckhorst played in Scotland, so he needs what's required. Obviously, he thinks that Scottish football is too physical for Amad. And because he hasn't got match fitness, he isn't playing in the European matches.
He is learning more at Rangers than he would be at United. He's with a club whose players are fighting for each other and playing as a team.

Gonna come back to Manchester a proper loyalist
What does the first part of that tweet mean?
I guess Celtic lead Rangers with 6 points and they're getting a fair bit of stick for it?
He's on right now. Playing tidy.
Rangers fans warmed to him a bit more since he came on and got that yellow versus Celtic.
They definitely value Grit over technical ability.

Brilliant bit of play by Amad. Great pass, nearly got the assist but Sakala shot blocked
Obvious is obvious. He's a brilliant talent and has been written off too soon by some people.
He scored.
Amad goal.
Well deserved. Deserved so much more game time over this loan.
Man has so much talent

Wasn't he supposed to go to the Netherlands on loan at the beginning of the season but he was injured?
With ETH coming in I think he may send him there, Rangers have failed him because of the Celtic match.

I'm not joking when I'd say I'd keep him. We will keep Elanga around and I stand by he is for sure better than him.
Obviously some disagree and that's ok but Amad has more technical ability for sure.
If we are going to loan him we have to get it right because he ha very good ability.
Also he is working so hard defensively today as well

Nice finish with his weaker foot
I wouldn't mind him staying but he needs game time and GVB has wasted him. Get him in a team where he's playing week in, week out.
I still don't think the loan has been a complete bust, he's part of a team that reached a European final which is a good experience.
Haven’t seen him today - I know it was only a 5 minute cameo against Celtic but he did genuinely look quicker and stronger. It’s all physicality with him - once he grows into his body and can play at the intensity required he’ll be a top player.
Agreed with that. GVB became afraid to change the team due to the fight with Celtic.
He also had scored an Offside goal earlier in the match. Very good 45 for him.
Who's the Lowry kid that everyone in the Rangers forum is banging on about after him came on?
"A touch of Modric" being one of the expressions.

Getting into form just in time for the Europa final
What team are they playing against, the highland farmers? Some really dodgy defending in those clips.
Just spun Levitt nicely
His treatment after the Celtic game has been utterly baffling. He’s got bundles of talent.
for all the sucking off of ronaldo we’ve done this season, he hasn’t done it against dundee like amad has. one to ponder on for his critics methinks.
