This would be awfully congested with zero width.

Yeah but we don't have wide players right now. Ndiaye I don't think has ever crossed a football, and we have nobody who is adept at playing on the right.

Seeing as all of our strikers are basically exactly the same type of players, ie. the type that will thrive off through balls, it might be a necessary style until at have sufficient full backs and a right winger in.

That's 2 agents in a year for Dom...he's having a mare.

Fatawu is good.

Fatawu is good.

….i watched the Leicester game on Sunday and he is a talent, especially given the time out he’s had. I did like the look of one of the other RWs we were linked with yesterday, big and powerful looked like he’d also be a handful playing centrally which is a big bonus.

DCL has been so badly advised the past couple of years, must be kicking himself that he didn’t accept our very generous contract offer last summer

Yeah I know their fans rate him as one who'll go right to the very top. And tbh they've seen a few talented ones their to not get too hyperbolic over someone.

Guess it comes down to price, the interest is 100% sure though as it was reported by the journo who is pretty much on Leicester stuff.

He was offered a fair offer this summer, too!

Incredible that we still have not made a move for a right back

Someone has to play wide right regardless of whether they like it out there.

You can’t have a right side with no winger and O’Brien.

Definitely faster

I can’t remember the last time we had a fast player

….more of a conventional, pacy winger and more the finished article than Dibling.

Yeah I know, probably be Ndiaye but he'll naturally drift inside won't he, which will make it congested as you say. Obviously Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall and Grealish are virtually undroppable, McNeil is a waste of space on the right and Alcaraz can only play number 10—even more so now that we have multiple options for left wing. As soon as we get a proper right winger things will look great.

Once that happens Alcaraz and McNeil are bench players, probably Garner too.
