But his good performances increase his transfer value, so it’s good for us anywayDiallo and Pellestri signings make his future here a doubt.

He was always prolific for the reserves, just couldn't quite do it in the mens team due to nerves/pressure.Chong is becoming a prolific goal scorer?
I think the general atmosphere around the club may have proved somewhat unhelpful. He looked like he was struggling with United first team pressures.As it stands with Rashford not having any competition on the left, and Greenwood/James being the options on the right, i personally think Chong should have stayed. Surely he would have got good minutes?
Now he's with Bremen he'll do well there i think. Hopefully 1 season will be enough and we get him back asap
If you don't consider the friendlies/competitive games difference, I think he already got as many minutes as he would've gotten here in 1 year. I don't think there's any doubt of this loan being a good move for him and us.As it stands with Rashford not having any competition on the left, and Greenwood/James being the options on the right, i personally think Chong should have stayed.

If the lad is good enough he will play.Maybe so, but hope he shines for WB so that we can actually get a decent fee, or at least make it a difficult call to sell or keep. Those 2, along with the Sancho interest, should emphasize the jeopardy he is in when it comes to a spot on the United roster.
I agree that a loan will help. Absolutely. I personally rate him higher than most i think. I think he will come back fairly soon. I have a good feeling about himI think the general atmosphere around the club may have proved somewhat unhelpful. He looked like he was struggling with United first team pressures.
Now he's playing first team football and excelling elsewhere, it's great experience.
Hopefully he comes back a player confident of his ability to play first team football.
2nd league start for him against Frankfurt. Played attacking centre midfield. Only made 13 passes (5 failed). Had 5 bad touches and gave away 5 fouls. Lucky he didn't get a yellow. Subbed off after 62 minutes. All in all a bad-5 day for him!He is starting today and the first 45 min he was sadly quite bad. He is playing, like he is playing a friendly for the U23. Especially defensively you have to expect more in a Top 5 League.
Apart from this game how good has he been on a scale of 1-10?He is starting today and the first 45 min he was sadly quite bad. He is playing, like he is playing a friendly for the U23. Especially defensively you have to expect more in a Top 5 League.
maybe a 6?Apart from this game how good has he been on a scale of 1-10?
His contract expires next summer, we only gave him a 2 year deal. At the time it looked like we were giving him a last chance to make an impression but it's hard to see him getting another extension if things don't improve. I still maintain that he'll go on to have a good career, I saw too much in him to think he'll wilt away. He'll be a late bloomer.He is flopping badly at Bremen, simply not good enough.
like TFM?If he doesn’t perform there, I honestly don’t see him playing for United again.
Is he? He had an assist against Mainz and Hannover latest, started against Leverkusen. He's 21, there's lots of development still to be done.He is flopping badly at Bremen, simply not good enough.
Yes, apologies, I should know better than to say stuff like "simply not good enough". You just never know (least of all do I..), he could have a decent career, or hell, he could be the Dutch Gnabry and this is his West Brom moment.His contract expires next summer, we only gave him a 2 year deal.

no one saw that coming. Probably not even TFM.like TFM?
Oh yeah, no question. I wasn't saying he's doing well at Bremen or anything, I just think (hope?) he'll go on to show much more later on in his career. It's very unlikely he'll be doing that at United or Bremen though.Yes, apologies, I should know better than to say stuff like "simply not good enough".

But right now it sure looks like one of those youngsters who think they are further ahead than they actually are, due to having some hype in their youth of a big club, and who in reality might struggle to have a career in a top league. He's not good enough for Bremen as it stands.
Nick Powell? I’m sure we have loads of history of this kind of stupidity.no one saw that coming. Probably not even TFM.
James is two years older, so perhaps he is slightly better, but many here (me included) believe Chong has a higher ceiling than Dan. Both are light years from being a starter for us and both are still quite far from being a reliable impact sub.Never rated him. I don't know what his key traits are. I know I'm gonna get some shit for this and I couldn't give a feck to be honest but this forum gives James such a hard time. Is Chong actually better than him? I don't think he is.
