Wingers.

I think Talbi will grow into the role and over time be a big player for us.

Adingra not good enough, but I like Traore. I'd give him another season.

Too early for an opinion on the two lads signed in January.

Another winger, Amad as the dream, would be at the top of my summer wishlist.

Why would Harvey Elliott be a good shout?

Because he has pedigree and was only not being picked by Villa because they dodnt want to be obligated to spend £35 million on him. He's the sort of high risk high reward signing we like to make, loan with a view to a permanent deal (hopefully a lot less than £35m) and he's hone grown.
 
Goal scoring/creating wingers will cost an absolute fortune. They're also hard to find for relatively small fees, as we have found out

Prefer Rigg to have his chance

Rigg is doing well and is a work in progress but Elliott could be a good signing. h
He came flying out of the blocks for Liverpool and, while he's spent a couple of seasons in the doldrums recently, if we spend £25m or less on him and get him back to where he was he'd be a decent acquisition. Or he could be on thw wane like Lingard and the like (although even lingard looked good on loan at West Ham.)

I think the options we have all look promising, however I also think it is a current area of weakness for the team.

My guess would be that we won’t retain Traore due to age and fitness. I think it would be good to see an older and better established pro come in to set the tone and give the youngsters something to work towards, but someone who will decline over the next few years as our current crop start to peak and take their place. It’s a bad example as it doesn’t sound like he will be leaving West Ham, but a player like Bowen would seen a perfect fit.

Bowen would undoubtedly be my number one choice but he loves living in London and he’s married into that Dyer clan and their mock cockney lifestyles. Another London club I reckon.

I don't know what this obsession is with Amad. For the price and wages he'd cost us we could probably get someone twice as good.


He's not "next level" at all, he's "two levels ago".

If we did sign him I’d be willing to take your bet on just how useless he’d turn out to be. What odds would you give me on 5 goals and 5 assists, and 6 and 6, 7 and 7 etc.
 
Where's all the patter about Diallo coming from? He's not going to leave Man Utd now to come here. Also, has there even been a mention of us being after him?

Is he really that good ?
He has 2 goals and 3 assists in 32 games playing for a top 3 side .

He is a class player regardless of those stats, it's just tiresome hearing every window fans saying we'll sign him or should.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved him here when he first came but that was in a lower division . If we bought him now it would blow a huge hole in our budget . Unless United are prepared to do a cut price deal I think we could get better value elsewhere.
