Lookman was decent but we were desperate for a right winger and signed someone like Barnes who was only comfortable on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 I reckon he would be decent for us in the Championship One of those players that would probably become a back up in the Prem if we got promoted though Not everyone we sign this summer is going to then also be a starter in the Prem if we go straight back up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majaco Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 20 minutes ago, foxes_rule1978 said: Signing wingers isn’t hit or miss, it is just they need to be scouted well and ensure they fit in with what we need. No different to any other player It is though. Mahrez was an unlikely hit. Lightweight bloke running around in the Championship. Albrighton- Villa reject- champion at Leicester, pilloried at WBA. Sancho- ripping up Bundesliga- surplus to requirements as Harry Maguire's squadmate. Ghazal and Diabate could have been the next thing- they weren't. Ibe- big money sale from Liverpool- couldn't cut it at the Vitality. Perez- not really a winger. It's a bit hit or miss, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace and willing to take players on which is something we lack massively ...he has a push-and-run style of play, he needs to have space to do that and tight ball control!!! Out of him Rak-Sakyi, Archer and Borges, we seemed to have picked the one that appears to be less likely to succeed. We do have this habit of not being able to pick a winger, heaven knows we have had a few tries. I just hope he can lift this club up and get us off our seats.

Wide forwards have a premium. His stats pre-injury are good. Promising wingers are signed at high prices and some come to prominence. Some don't. Often at West Ham.

LestaLad Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 A pacey winger with a bit of flair who knows where the goal is. Something we massively lack. Him and 2/3 other wingers would be class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine Palace are looking to let him leave at the moment when they still haven't managed tie Zaha down to a new deal and Olise is out injured for a while Rak-Sakyi plays on the right anyway so would have no influence on a deal for Mavididi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVFox Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 (edited) I think he will be decent. He's very different to any kind of winger we've had lately, he will be very temperamental and frustrating at times with his end product. He'll also have matches where he absolutely hammers his full back and looks incredible. Think there's far more available from him with a good coach in his ear. Get him in.

How much longer does this curse need to last until we look at the league win, F.A. cup, charity shield, EFL Championship and League One title, as something we would give up to make us good again? We could not pick out a good winger even if it was down to two, we would pick the one with the ailment, made famous by Kasabian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
