Diallo vs Pellistri

[elnorte]

So we've essentially taken a punt on not just one but two right wingers, presumably because we failed to sign Sancho and now have little belief he'll join us in the future.

Consequently do we think either Diallo or Pellistri have the potential to make it at United. If so which one? Or will they just both turn out to be shite?

 

[Alemar]

Based on their names, I would go with Facundo

 

[The Mitcher]

These vs threads are just so tiring.

 

[AltiUn]

Precious few here will have seen either to make any sort of judgement whatsoever.

 

[Paxi]

Well they’ve got 5 games between them. It’s certainly a close one.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

This will be interesting...People attempting to compare two players they no absolutely nothing about.

First to bullshit the way to a compelling argument wins.

 

[Zoo]

Pointless thread. Nobody will know.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

The lad from Atalanta is seen as one of the most promising young wingers in world football. The Uruguayan is more of an unknown, potential hidden gem type.

 

[Red Shorts]

Time to hop onto Youtube and get some constructive comparisons going.

 

[Jezpeza]

No one knows. Hopefully both become world beaters.

One thing i will say - hopefully this is the start of us getting the 100m pound players a season or two before they become worth that

People have been crying out for us to do a Dortmund and buy undiscovered younger talents and we've just done that with 2 of them. Let's see

 

[Organic Potatoes]

Pellistri’s name is harder to spell and he has a funkier haircut. He is clearly the better signing here.

 

[sincher]

Like the look of Armadillo a lot. No idea about Fecund Palistrade.

 

[El Zoido]

Tough to call, I like Pellistri’s name a bit more. Sounds like a type of pasta. But then again Diallo is a bit like “Diablo”, it’s a close one.

 

[Dante]

Diallo will cost up to €40m including addons. Pellistri is a €10m release clause signing.

Clearly expectations for Diallo will be higher. Pellistri cost less than Cavani's agent fees, ffs. They're dining at completely different tables.

 

[el3mel]

We have seen neither to judge. However it seems Diallo has the bigger potential considering we put more money into him.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Based on absolutely nothing... I'll back Amad to be the one that makes it, because he's a Traore, and you can always rely on a Traore making it.


Pellistri however comes from Uruguay... Home of Luis Suarez... I instantly distrust him.

 

[Ekeke]

I think Diallo/Traore will make it somewhere. No idea if its in England or with us or what level. But I think he'll do as well as Januzaj at least and if he doesnt make it in our first team he'll at least have some great moments before moving on.

Pellistri I'm not sure he'll do as well as Real Sociedad as a next destination. Maybe. Thats my prediction for him based on literally youtube and his record in another league alone. So you can hold me to it but its not based on much.

 

[VeevaVee]

This thread is unnecessary, but while we’re talking about them, I don’t see why we’ve got 3 talented but very young right wingers, or will have in Jan anyway.

 

[calodo2003]

For the U-23s?

Maybe there is still belief we can sign him and these guys are going to be cover for the position IF it was to still happen next summer.

 

[Chairman Steve]

Is it fair to judge them on how much we paid for them in a way? Economies of South American teams and European teams are very different. £9m is quite a bit of money to a team like Penarol.

 

[sullydnl]

These young-and-unknown signings are fun when they go straight into the first team squad. Less so if they have to go through the U23's first.

Will these guys be going straight into the first team squad? Is one more developed than the other? Does anyone actually know anything about them?

 

[0le]

One thing that hasn't been said much. It says a lot about what the club think about Chong.

Home of Diego Forlan?

Gutting we couldn't get this done earlier in the window then would have had time to get a work permit before January

 

[shamans]

Pellistri in my mind is the more talented as he's played at a higher level. Diallo is less proven right now.

 

[Ali Dia]

chong plays on the left more.

 

[ElectroManiac]

I have never seem them play, don't even know what are their positions, but I will say Lingard will win at the end

 

[Ali Dia]

I’d say Traore looks the more exciting of the 2 but I would love to have a skilful South American player here if he gets going. I’d say he’s too young to do anything much for us for a few years yet and he definitely needs to bulk up a bit.

 

[BluesJr]

That doesn't make him more talented. If you watch some footage of them both it's clear to me Diallo has more natural ability.

 

[reelworld]

Is @antohan still lurking around? As the caf Uruguayan resident, I'd like to know what he thinks about Pellistri

 

[Paxi]

No he just needs a haircut. Nothing funky about it. Well possibly except for the smell.

 

[Crashoutcassius]

Well they’ve got 5 games between them. It’s certainly a close one.

Think pelli has 30 games while amad has 25 mins..

 

[Tiber]

Flip a coin?

 

[Paxi]

Thought I’ve seen 5 somewhere. Ah well. I know nothing of both either way.

 

[Organic Potatoes]

It’s straight from the 60/70’s, the era of funk. And funky isn’t a bad thing, at least in the parlance of the Americas.

Only Ben Askren is allowed to have that funk. Anyone else just looks like a hobo.

Hopefully he makes the Scousers cry

The new Messi vs the new David Silva, who will win? Only one way to find out, Fight!
