I was thinking about the second-best club in Germany with a track record of developing youngsters as opposed to a basket case like Derby.Whoever he would start and play for.
If BVB bought Amad outright, then yes, they would give him game time to develop, but, as loan, not so sure, afterall, they have Haaland, Reus, Reyna, T.Hazard, Brandt, & Melen as their forwards (strikers/wingers), and he would not get ahead of any of them.I was thinking about the second-best club in Germany with a track record of developing youngsters as opposed to a basket case like Derby.
I do not know if there is any injury issues at BVB, but Amad would not get ahead of Hazard & Reyna if they are fitIf he's as good as we hope he is, Amad should get game time at BVB. If fit, Haaland and Reus are the only guaranteed starters in their attack which leaves either 1 or 2 spaces depending on their set up. He should at least be in contention to get game time there, though Dortmund may want some kind of incentive for short loan, possibly an option to buy or an option to extend the loan to next season.
Derby under Rooney would be a good loan. Mengi had a very good spell there until he got injured. They’d be doing very well without the points deduction and actually play good football.I was thinking about the second-best club in Germany with a track record of developing youngsters as opposed to a basket case like Derby.

What a massively underwhelming signing. The richest club in the World and they are signing Championship level managers & players.Tweet

They have to start somewhere. They're in a relegation battle so they won't be signing top players for a few years yet.What a massively underwhelming signing. The richest club in the World and they are signing Championship level managers & players.

Fair points, I was assuming that because they're in financial difficulties and rooted to the bottom of the championship that morale at the club must be low.If BVB bought Amad outright, then yes, they would give him game time to develop, but, as loan, not so sure, afterall, they have Haaland, Reus, Reyna, T.Hazard, Brandt, & Melen as their forwards (strikers/wingers), and he would not get ahead of any of them.
do they have some sort of injury crisis to be looking for a player like Amad on loan?
They won't be getting out of the relegation zone with the manager they have and the players they have brought. I guess they aren't into throwing money at the problem, like City did when they won the lottery.They have to start somewhere. They're in a relegation battle so they won't be signing top players for a few years yet.
There are say four attacking positions in most formations. Haaland, Reus and (in current form) Brandt take three of them. That leaves one slot for Reyna, Malen and Hazard. As well as Dortmund's own upcoming talents, such as Moukoko and to a lesser degree Knauff and maybe even Bynoe Gittens towards the end of the season.If he's as good as we hope he is, Amad should get game time at BVB. If fit, Haaland and Reus are the only guaranteed starters in their attack which leaves either 1 or 2 spaces depending on their set up.

City were a mid-table club so they could attract better players. Going to Newcastle now in a relegation battle isn't very appealing, regardless of how much money they have.They won't be getting out of the relegation zone with the manager they have and the players they have brought. I guess they aren't into throwing money at the problem, like City did when they won the lottery.
Loan??? No issue with either of those but Dortmund is the higher risk, higher reward. Be good for himThere's only one choice there really.
We have zero depth in midfield as it is, makes no senseTweet

He almost never plays though.We have zero depth in midfield as it is, makes no sense
Sell to buy.We have zero depth in midfield as it is, makes no sense
I imagine this means offered by his agent, not the club.Tweet

If we’re getting a player better suited to positions in need, then making space by moving on a surplus player, then it’s very logical.We have zero depth in midfield as it is, makes no sense
Wasn't this the whole point of appointing a Football Director (Murtough), to ensure that the club continues to operate as normal throughout regime changes? Players like Pogba and Lingard will be out of contract before a new manager comes on board, so we have to decide whether to sell, let the contract run down or try to extend. VDB seemingly wants out so that decision needs to be made by the club.We won’t sign any player this season. I can’t see any player coming in know he may not be fancied by our new manager in the summer. Why would United go and spend 30m on a player when we’d expect the squad to be re assessed once the new manager has had time to identify what he needs. It’s another cycle but hopefully we get it right next time round
Yes Derby all day long….There's only one choice there really.
Last season he played a lot, this season he's been slapped on the bench by their new manager Seoane. I guess Amiri wants first team football and has peaced out, but going to Genoa who are currently in 19th in Serie A is a big step down.
He's more like second or third fiddle, currently. Wirtz, Demirbay, Diaby, Adli, Paulinho and Bellarabi all seem to be ahead of him in the hierarchy. He had a brief period under Bosz when he really excelled but that soon vanished again. Not really unexpected if you ask me, Amiri was always more of a "he's cheap, you can't do anything wrong signing him" but he was always the most limited talentwise. Wish him all the best though, I like the guy
Goal.com Charles WattsTielemans was linked with Arsenal the other day, did anyone catch who the outlet and reporter behind it was?

Yeah, I guess the lack of football would be a drawback, though I was expecting him to get more minutes given how he's more reliable. I'm kind of surprised that Bellarabi and Adli are getting more minutes given their issues, but he is more limited than them.He's more like second or third fiddle, currently.

I hope so. I had this theory that one of the reasons we are keeping him is because ETH is in line to be the next manager.I imagine this means offered by his agent, not the club.
Yeah, Limited is the wrong word in comparison to Bellarabi, specifically, but I guess Bellarabi's more direct and a better fit for the wide areas.I certainly wouldn't call him more limited than Bellarabi, who is very limited, but has a different profile. Bellarabi is a specialist wide dribbler, Amiri is more of a 8-ish/10-ish midfielder, no? So he's got Wirtz ahead of him.
