Leao...................................................El Ghazi ..............................Wesley............................... All young with great potential as well. Might only be paper talk but Leao would be the sort of signing that would get absolutely get fans off their seats. Would be amazing, and the awesome thing is we are only one player away from that being a thing. A number of external options for who that RW spot could be right now. And then Jota and Green waiting on the bench. The attack is nearly there. One more winger, Wesley actually signed and a back up forward and we are done. Actually that's 3 signings, albeit Wesley being close. Man, there is so much to do!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I wanted Benrahma, for the reported £25m or so I'd be much more excited by signing this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's tall and can play there, but also has silky skills and been compared to Mbappe (who also started as a centre forward but moved to play wide). Would get quite a few assists as well as goals I'd imagine. Scored 8 in 24 for Lille last season despite only being 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) It's more Nicolas Pepe and Jonathen Bamba who plays in the wide attacker role for Lille. Leao is more central. Bamba would be a very interesting signing. Edited July 2, 2019 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Leao the loyun can play wide and central. Wesley can play deep or up top. Both can absolutely be in the same team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 if we're in for Lille players then Thiago maia didn't turn up to training yesterday, reportedly homesick and wants a move get him a flat in the city centre with big wes he'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Remember a few short weeks ago when Joe Lolley was all the rage? It's not my money so it's easy for me to imagine spending it, but I was thinking that if money is really no problem and we do sign Butland, Mings, Webster, Philips and Benrahma, we still need to think about cover for injuries, loss of form, resting players and of course key substitutions. Benrahma can play on both wings, Jota can play right and more centrally at a push, but if we're able to splash the cash how about buying Lolley as well to complete a really strong and flexible midfield unit? I think I might have spent about £100/110 million of NSWE's money there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that's what it was apparently EFL ffp still applies to us, the person I heard talking about it mentioned it could be similar to QPR's situation a few seasons ago.
