Wanting too long on the ball whilst playing out wide can slow down our attacks too. He doesn't have the pace to get in behind which is why he'd be better in the middle. We need someone with genuine pace out wide. Also, the main point is options. We need options. Some people have said we don't need a wide player because Grealish can play there but how about we just try and get more options? One game Grealish can be in the middle and one he can be out wide. Right now our options for the left side are Grealish, El Ghazi or Trezeguet and that is not good enough. I'd say we are in desperate need of a quality player there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I think we will bring in a forward player who can play LW and CF (King/Rashica?) And a CM. I'd like a CB on top but think that could be dependent on Engels leaving. So in summary I'm expecting to see 2-3 new faces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't get on the ball anywhere near enough He’s on the ball literally every time we get the ball. Our main tactic is to give it to him. Personally I think it’s a positive thing we have a player who can play well for us in either position - and different opponents might mean it’s better to use him in one or the other.

There are plenty of players there not going to get much game time who we could bring in on loan that would not only improve the squad but the first team - Barkley, Loftus Cheek, Tammy, Christensen, Tomori, Hudson Odoi. I know we said last summer we're not looking at loans but I hope they've changed their mind on that because there are potentially some quality players we could bring in short term who could help establish us in this league until we're able to bring in that higher calibre of player. I would absolutely be using that Chelsea link, agreed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm still expecting a few big ones yet but also some squad fillers as our bench looks a bit weak. Ideally you want to push the first XI players to the bench with purchases of better quality jumping into the first team but that takes many windows to do so some cheap squad fillers will be needed in the interim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need both to be honest. Look at our bench from the other night too. We also need better quality squad players to make an impact as a sub. Wide attacker, centre mid and centre back are the minimums for me. Would also like a backup striker too, especially if Samatta goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an incredibly fast and quality right side now with Traore and Semedo. I always liked Semedo when I saw him play, i know not totally taken to heart by Barca fans but a quality signing for Wolves in my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I hadn't laughed so much when they got sold for 50p.
