Isn't going to happen mate. But I'm intrigued to see how Lihadji gets on next season.
I'm surprised he's had nearly zero game time up to now but I think he could be our next big player.

Game-time will be restricted because of the communication problems, I’m sure he will be a big player for us and hopefully taking language lessons.

Football is universal but tactics are getting ever more complicated
 
Hasn't Amad scored the most goals in the Championship in his age group, under 20/21?

He’s the only player under 21 in the top 20 scorers and only one of 2 under the age of 23 (Pedro is 21 and a single goal behind him). What a season the lad has had.

Incredibly Stewart is still in the top 20 with 10 in 13…oh what could have been :emoticon-0101-sadsm

My own particular take on strikers is...

If you are playing with one striker, you need 3, as one will be injured and one probably out of form. Also it would be possible to play 2 up front if chasing the game. This i guess was Speakman's thinking, Stewart, Simms and Amad?

If you are routinely playing with 2 strikers, then for similar reasons to above you need 4 strikers in the squad.

Imo he would have been top of the goalscoring charts if he was fit for full season, probably top 3 if he inly had first injury!

Wasnt Dajaku and then Clarke given the standby striker role ahead of Amad, its what I remember but could I be wrong. On another strange decision was that starting line up yesterday, I wonder what they would have said if Hume hadnt saved Tony's blushes , thankfully we will never know.
 
Make them an offer they can't refuse! Someone with this lad's talent doesn't come along very often. He loves it here,if we get up,we need to find a way to make it happen.

They paid 30 million for him so think that immediately puts us out if running of getting him signed in anything other than a loan deal.

They haven't even tried him yet so most we can hope for is them wanting him out in loan again.

This has the same energy as the people who said we should have "simply signed a replacement" for Stewart in January, ha. Unfortunately the club are unable to pull £50m+ out of their arseholes :emoticon-0102-bigsm

I'd imagine we could get him on loan if we went up - that's a zero risk move for United. Gets him PL minutes relatively out of the spotlight at Old Trafford at a club they know he'll settle at and get games. Remember we've had players that look like world beaters until they get to the top division.
