I mean the tough part is who would be available right now. But I'd just as soon sign no one this window as sign someone bad who we have to carry for 18 months after these next 6 where they may have some use.

Obviously if we're talking wingers purely I'd like Buendia. Olise at Reading is also a player who is lighting up the championship. So that's two names off the top of my head. You like Berardi don't you? I'd much rather we waited and went for him.

It wouldn't be a short list if I really tried to make one.

We arent talking about wingers, Forwards who can play all along the front, able to play number 9.

He's scored 10.

So just the 38 non-penalties.

Last two years he has 18 league goals and 8 of them from the spot. Throw in 7 assists. That's 17 in 5000 open play minutes. Or one in about 300 minutes. I don't think it is worth bringing in a new player at that level.

I've shared my thoughts on this before:

Very few of these players exist. I'm trying to think in all of football who does this at a decent level and the names that I can come up with are Mbappe, Gnabry, Torres at City, possibly that Rebic lad at Milan, Richarlison, and maybe Promes at Ajax.

It is just a rare thing because few players who are true creative wingers have the goal scoring and physical ability to play in the middle and most of the guys who can do the things required of a center forward can't play the side on the wing where they can't cut in on their strong foot. So you've got players like Rashford who can play up top and the left and players like Sane who can play both wings but all three spots is just really rare.

Key of course is at a decent level. I would not put Josh King at that level.

But King has 50 goals in the PL, Kean and Tosun don't. Stopped reading after that.

Haha, OK. They literally have the same goal/appearance rate In the Premier league.

Tosun is 3.875
King is 3.864

Goals per min tosun is every 173.7
King is every 210.

Keep twisting your own statistics to fit. Neither player are good enough, but off statistics, tosun scores more.

And again this is if you leave in penalties which King has really padded his stats with.

He's played more than 3x the games Tosun has.

King has 48 goals in 161apps (12,092 mins) = 1 goal every 252 mins

Tosun has 10 goals in 54apps (2550 mins) = 1 goal every 255 mins

He's also got 15 assists to Tosun's 3 whilst also playing lots of his games as a winger or a deep forward.

If you're gonna use stats at least use the correct stats.
