Correct. But from what I’ve seen of him and his age I just don’t think he’ll bother or have the hunger. Would love for him to prove me wrong of course. I just feel like I don’t ‘know’ Mo Dahoud. He’s been here a while now and I feel like he’s a stranger whereas the other players I kind of feel I know about and can connect with.I remember an interview with Billy about when he wasn't getting a look in with AliMac, Caicedo and Gross all starting in front of him.
He said that RDZ told him in what areas he thought the other three were better and Billy then spent every training session and match watching exactly what they were doing better and trying to improve himself in those areas. If Mahmoud takes something similar on board, there's still plenty of time for him to turn it round
He needs to get in Buzz's Bootroom ASAP!
Indeed. I think that's telling us all we need to know about RDZ's view. Of course it could be a psychological move to worry and motivate Dahoud. However, I suspect he will be moving on in the not too distant future.
Calm down love
I notice that RDZ mentioned that Dahoud does not have the time to get up to the levels we need.

Fact is RDZ thinks neither Dahoud nor Alzate are good enough, putting in a shift or not, and personally, I see them as very similar.
Not a shot as such, but I do recall last season RdZ saying they had done everything they could for Undav and it was up to him, this in some ways is similar, though a lot stronger.
Probably he does, although of course we don't actually know that. Personally, I prefer Alzate to Dahoud. Over to you..........
Seemingly more cultured l agree. Dahood needs to go out on loan l think, and we'll take Sarmiento back.
Not this window we won't! He's already played for two clubs this season (he played half an hour for Ipswich yesterday).
Just a shame we loaned him out in the first place, he could be doing a job for us now.
I don't think I could choose one over the other as I don't see either of them making enough a difference to warrant a place in the team. I'm not criticising either player. Alzate was full of promise, clever feet in tight situations, but only used his skills to move the ball about 10 yards. Dahoud is more experienced at a high level, but can't seem to drag himself out of the mediocrity of doing the same thing. They are both lightweight physically and I can't help reflecting that maybe a Belgian League or similar is their best level and the Premier League is beyond them. But it isn't about my opinion. It's RDZ who matters. Alzate won't get another chance with Albion. It feels from RDZ's comments that Dahoud is in the last chance saloon. Step up or step out.
