It really wasn't.It was honestly every game.

Every game he misplaced easy passes, had no impact & was beyond terrible & no where near the quality of a Manchester United player.It really wasn't.
Why would Ajax pick him? They have their own younger talents who have already shown more in their first teama year on loan at Ajax or a similar attacking club would do wonders and make him ready.
Thinks too highly of himself though I'm afraid. He seems motivated for money/fame and that seldom is the best motivation long term with very young players. Boy, have we seen it with players who shine for a short amount of time and then get an "I've made it" attitude and put their gloves down. Januzaj, Morrison, Macheda, the list goes on
Hope he sees the bigger picture, has patience, goes on loan and puts in a great amount of work. He could be great under the right guidance.
I don't know, maybe if they sell Van de Beek? Or if they get a compensation if he becomes good later on? Or a possibility to buy him? Anyways, I also suggested another attacking team.Why would Ajax pick him? They have their own younger talents who have already shown more in their first team
I'm not sure what you mean by similar players. Lozano came through the ranks at PSV, he didn't sign for a club like United and then come back on loan to PSV. In terms of playing style, I guess they're both quick but Lozano is a hard workerI don't know, maybe if they sell Van de Beek? Or if they get a compensation if he becomes good later on?

All in all, if Chong only becomes semi-good, he might stay at Ajax or return to Ajax later on. Or if he becomes good for us, Ajax could get a fee. Playerwise, PSV, Ajax, etc has had similar players like Lozano, Ziyech, so on.
Incorrect, if they are not 1st team prem quality by 20, they never will be. I think that's the rubric anyway.20 year old who is very fragile not impressing in limited game time shouldn't be a problem. He is talented player, his performances for U23 shows that where he dribbles past players for fun and scores ridiculous goals.
I don't rate him very highly as others but extending his contract is very easy decision. You don't let go young players so early just because they found it hard to step up.
I'm not sure what you're getting at, it seems like you're fishing for a 1:1 comparison with a similar player - I'm just mentioning similar attacking players that flourished at dutch clubs. All I was saying was just that Ajax or a similar attacking-minded club would be a good fit.I'm not sure what you mean by similar players.

Ziyech did sign from another club, but is a different kind of player completely to Chong. Did he first go on loan to Ajax before he signed for them? Else I don't get the connection you tried to make as he's not a speed based player, instead he's the playmaker who finds the players with movement.
They arent similar thats the point.I'm not sure what you're getting at, it seems like you're fishing for a 1:1 comparison with a similar player - I'm just mentioning similar attacking players that flourished at dutch clubs.

In 2021 maybeSancho alternative ?
ftfySancho replacement ?
Imagine saying that when we first got linked to James.He should have gotten James's playing time last season. Already a better player and with a much higher ceiling imo.

Imagine thinking either of them are good enough.Imagine saying that when we first got linked to James.
Mad enit. People still think James is good enoughImagine thinking either of them are good enough.
Yep. Maybe judging players isn’t for you. Nothing wrong with that.When we first got linked to an unproven championship player
There's no evidence to suggest that whatsoever. He looked OK in the youth/u23s but was way out of his depth each time he appeared for the 1st team. He lacked confidence and gave the ball away numerous times. While he's talented, he's also raw and badly in need of experience outside of Utd where there'll be little spotlight on him. Hopefully he starts to put in a shift at Werder Bremen, and I don't mean just the odd great goal here and there. He needs to show what Gnabry did; an all round team game and contribute in all areas of the pitch.He should have gotten James's playing time last season.

Exactly. Chong looked poor whenever he played for first team, loan was the better option for him. James looked poor in the second half of the season but he was still better than Chong overall.There's no evidence to suggest that whatsoever.

He didn't just look "OK". Since he moved up to the U23s, he's consistently been one of our best players. No need to undersell him to make your point. I don't think there's anything wrong with people believing he has a higher ceiling that Dan James, he was considered a "super talent" when we first signed him and has delivered at every level bar the first team, and that includes his appearances against men's teams in the EFL trophy where he was our best player. I'd be frankly stunned if he doesn't end up a better footballer than James.There's no evidence to suggest that whatsoever.

A better player based on what exactly? James was very good in his first few months at the club on the left. When exactly has Chong shown any such ability at senior level? Try sticking to facts on your reply.He should have gotten James's playing time last season. Already a better player and with a much higher ceiling imo.
