They'll crack like the seventh-placed ceiling.

Oh. Better move on, then...

Keep chipping away long enough and everything cracks.

Hopefully.

You do realise how long ago that was. Any championship players we are linked to are instantly written off in favour of some foreign flops.

Is kudus at West Ham recent enough for you mate, didn’t he also sign Bowen

i can find examples at West Ham of their better/best players that were bought with zero pl experience if you want? Soucek & Kudus immediately spring to mind. This PL experience fixation is baffling, frankly.

Seeing our struggles to get a right winger isn't it time to finally land that right back ? And then nearer to end of the window we try for Dibling/Fatawa again ?

No. We can get by at RB, we can’t get by at RW

 

[Bainesy come back]

Think the sensible move would be to spend most of our money on a proper RW and get a wide forward who could play up front if required. Not saying him but like a Richarlison type. Think it would be a waste of any resources for 3rd number 9

Is the Chelsea lad George a comparable alternative to Dibling / Fatawu ? Less experienced but a right winger with some PL experience don't know much about him

No. We can get by at RB, we can’t get by at RW

True but we also can't get by any CDM - gana came off against Roma and our midfield collapsed. Ease up his load with a competent 6, and you give KDH, Grealish and NDiaye great freedom on the attack - a no.6 is a much bigger priority than RW (now Grealish is in) but both are still essential imo

And yet none of the players you listed should be lining up at RW so how has it become a lower priority?

It's all this pro and anti right wing nonsense in the media thats causing the lack of right wingers. Nobody wants to identify as, or deny being, a right winger. I blame Stephen Yaxley-Whateverhisnameis.

 

[evertony]

I know nothing at all about him but this Senegalese beast Lupy or whatever he's called looks interesting. Much rather take a punt on potential than snare a journeyman.

All the noise coming our the club would have you thinking they're close to another
