I hope this is just a wind up. He’d struggle to start at any PL team every week.Then find him somewhere in between? If he’s finding the Championship so easy then it’s not doing him any good
He is doing okay but is far from doing it easy.
If he ends up being in the Championship team of the year then we should review his next step.
Where are the stats saying he’s finding the championship so easy ? He started 2 of their first 8 games and since then he has started 5 scored 3 and had one assist . Does 5 games define he’s too good for the Championship? He needs to spend a season there where he’s playing week in week out. He’s no experience of playing regularly at Atalanta , Utd or Rangers so he’s fine where he is for the moment.
bring him back off a loan that he’s shining on and getting minutes at to sit on a bench sounds a great way to stall his career/make him want to leave.
He’s not gonna be game changing right now anyway, let him learn in the championship
es[ with a manager who fancies him... as opposed to the turnip Giovanni.
Bringing him back now makes no sense at all. We’ve plenty of options and he’s only just established himself as a top Championship player (one of many) He needs to prove he’s at that level for a hell of lot longer than half a dozen matches before we’d even begin to think he’s outgrown that league.
Sunderland are back in Championship action today against Millwall with Amad starting. Live on Sky in just under an hour.
He's had 5 good games. We should bring him back when he has had 20
Woohoo!
Looking decent in this game. Done some good dribbles.
Millwall dominated the first 25 mins or so, but Sunderland are coming into it more now, mostly because they're getting the ball to Amad.
Edit: he should have scored just now but took one touch too many in the box

Should've shot quicker here but he's playing very well now after a frustrating 25 minutes.
Should have shot first time amad.
He's playing with some pretty agricultural players.
If this were the World Cup, this game would've had 20 minutes of added time.
He has been their best player. Sunderland are a better side when he is on the ball, although he doesn't see enough of it for my liking. At times he makes subtle movements into pockets of space, but this often goes unnoticed by his teammates or they simply choose the easier option due to lack of technique. Also, he needs to show the personality and courage of his convictions to pull Pritchard aside and tell him that he's not having another set piece.
Millwall are proper filthy.
Is this a farmers league joke?
Amad scores again, easy tap-in.
Gets his goal, tap in at the back post. Been their best player comfortably.
Some people seem determined to cut his legs from under him to prove they were right saying he was crap
Was that an assist?
No it wasn’t
Some quality passes and dribbles from him in this game.
He seems to feed off Simms quite often.
Off he goes, subbed. Sunderland best player today.
He was proper outstanding second half.
Mowbray has done a fantastic job of managing him so far, hopefully someone at the club takes note and send a few more youngsters his way in future.
Shame that I've had to miss another one of his games but delighted to hear he's doing well, I have high hopes for this lad.
6 now. 14 left!
Don't they normally have a team within the club that just manages loanees? Video reports etc
Yeah, I *think* former Tranmere manager Les Parry does it at United, sure I’ve seen him discussing the loan market
Best player to ever live
Best player on the pitch by a mile. Made things happen. Good to see Sunderland fans appreciate him.
fecking hell did he play that well today?
If Amad Diallo has million fans, then I'm one of them.
If Amad Diallo has five fans, I'm one of them.
If Amad Diallo has one fan, then I'm THAT ONE.
If Amad Diallo has no fans, that means I'm dead.
If the world is against Amad Diallo, then I’m against the world.
He's doing really well there, but I wonder if it is tempting to recall him and send him on loan to a side who are more dominant in terms of possession and progressive with the ball. I think back to last season and how much of a joy it must have been for someone like Fabio Carvalho at Fulham. On that note, no reason why Amad can't come back here next season and compete with the likes of Antony and Sancho for game time. Tricky one though because he can't be sitting on the bench all season. Carvalho for instance, has been given plenty of opportunities thus far at Liverpool.
We made that mistake with Laird last season. I think this season for Amad is about getting as many games as possible.
I mean he can learn a lot in a team that doesn't dominate too, he will have to learn to be more efficient with the ball and make the most of having the ball. I would let him see out the season at Sunderland as he seems settled and the manager rates him.
