Lights on for Luke
Best position through the middle/as a 10? I think he started out on the right for OL, right? Probably to integrate him into senior football.Not a winger but one I have my eye on as a Bruno replacement.

Indeed, he’s a natural 10. Lacks the explosiveness for the wing, and his ambidexterity is also a huge asset centrally. He could play nominally from the right though, similarly to how Bernardo Silva does.Best position through the middle/as a 10? I think he started out on the right for OL, right?

Yeah, i was thinking B Silva as possibly a close template to what you'd get on the wing. I know Chelsea's been linked to Cherki over the last transfer window.Indeed, he’s a natural 10.

Agreed all round really.I’ve not seen much really in Pellistri that says he could be a significant contributor for a club with Utd’s aims. I bet he’ll be at Girona in a couple of years, doing pretty good. Amad, on the other hand, is clearly very talented indeed, and I think you can’t understate the importance of him having such a successful loan spell at Sunderland last season. He made himself first choice pretty quickly, and largely maintained his levels, in a team hamstrung by injuries. It would have been a difficult and very physical learning curve for him, and he excelled there.
Cost is linked to talent and if the talent is there we should be able to get something out of them. Sancho played in a high press / transition based team in Germany and put up numbers second only to Messi and ronaldo. Ten hag knows Antony's game. If he can't get something out of them then rather than spending 100m on another we should wait til he is fired and invest in the next managers vision.I think this thread may have more to do with reasons beyond natural talent/cost as to why those options may not be possible going forward.
Ye he doesn't get the opportunity to do it much because he is so one dimensional, because our attacking play is so poor and we have very little overlap threat but he is absolutely brilliant at it. If he doesn't score he forces a big save or comes very close. Rarely is it not a dangerous moment.Huh? He’s scored 8 goals since he signed.

Yes, but there is a scenario where neither player is available due to the off-field situations concerning both. In which case we may have to re-enter the market in Jan/next summer regardless of the amount spent in recent years.Cost is linked to talent and if the talent is there we should be able to get something out of them.

ThisAmad is my choice and then Pellistri.
About time we have someone who can actually dribble past defenders.
The common denominator is that left footed wide men are in shorter supply than right footed ones. Once upon a time left footed meant left winger, now it means right.At one point left wingers seemed a tiny pool to pick from.
These days it's right wingers due to the obsession with cutting in.
Man joined us just over a month ago!!! Cut us some slack here.Sam Chukwueze
Real have Rodrygo.The market is very dry and the competition will get tougher. Salah is getting older and maybe headed for Saudi so Liverpool will be in the market too. Real don't have a left footed RW either. Arsenal are very lucky to have Saka.
City signed Doku who based on some highlights looks very explosive. Not sure if he's good or not though.
Personally of those I know of I'd happily have taken O.Dembele. Guy makes it look easy.
Top-level Nani was one of the best, and most creative players I've ever seen wear the shirt.In the last 15 years, Nani is still the standout RW we've had.
Same good options in the thread, but who are we kidding, the RW spot is cursed.
Madrid signed Arda Guler who is a lefty and will presumably play off the rightThe market is very dry and the competition will get tougher.

I think we were on track to solving the issue before spending over £150 million on Sancho and Antony. Unfortunately for us we have an incompetent DoF that bows down to the manager’s demands.We’ve spent around 200 mil for 4 RWs and still can’t solve the issue.
Too weak and too slow I am afraid.Amad. Amad. Amad.
Nani was booed off by the more patient match going fans and Valencia also on this forum wasn’t good enough for the wing so way way before them…The de ja vu thread. We have had this thread ever since Valencia and Nani stopped playing RW.
Has plenty of pace I’m afraid.Too weak and too slow I am afraid.
He spent last season showing/proving he‘s strong enough for English football. No problems with his acceleration and speed either.Too weak and too slow I am afraid.
Would be terrible business for a 29 year old whose best goal return in a PL season is 7. That's only one more than the much maligned Sancho managed last season and he'd need replacing in a year or two.I think Solly March for £75-£80m would be good business for you, but I suspect he isn’t fashionable or exotic enough to set pulses racing.
Thats a very steep price. He's a good player, not convinced he's much more than that and we have a lot of good players.I think Solly March for £75-£80m would be good business for you, but I suspect he isn’t fashionable or exotic enough to set pulses racing.
Rodrygo is right footedReal have Rodrygo.
Generally, you do make a good point though, and it seems likely/logical that a shortage in top class lefties will see football return to more traditional right wingers in time. It also ties in with a gradual trending towards more traditional 9s, which would be compatible with a traditional right winger who can create.
Pellistri then, he looks as fast as Garnacho with the ball at his feet.I basically want us to get whatever the RW version of Garnacho is that we can find. I really like Amad and have high hopes, but as far as profiles go I'd love to have another burner for the right side of that attack if we are going to commit to Rashy and Rasmus as the other two. Might as well be terrifying on the break.
And by "RW Garnacho" I mean someone who has searing pace and is an aggressive take on artist. Doesn't have to be a 100m rate wonderkid obviously just that type of profile
Pellistri is a very good carrier and will have his chance to impress, but he doesn't have the off ball threat a Garnacho/Rashford/etc. has.Pellistri then, he looks as fast as Garnacho with the ball at his feet.
Yeremi Pino has been quite irregular for a year and a half. Villarreal wanted to transfer him for approximately €40M.Yeremy Pino looks like a player who can actually beat a man with his dribbles, unlike Antony
That’s the name i was trying to rememberAlso, how's that Ryan Cherki guy developing at OL?
Yeah seemed highly talented at a young age. Supposedly his best position might be at 10.That’s the name i was trying to remember
