Not to stay at Palace of. But if Chelsea or Spurs come in for him, he'll prefer them over us imo.
Right Winger... Who do we go for?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Not Spurs, no way. Chelsea perhaps...
Mate not to be rude, but you clearly didn’t read my whole response. I even said
Bold added for emphasis. I’m happy to have a conversation on the matter, but that won’t happen if you talk past me rather than engaging with and responding to what I actually posted about.
The only Dortmund player we should keep an eye on is Sancho. We should be the team to bring him back to the EPL
no
Honestly would consider a swap for Martial. Tony would be happy to return home, and Mourinho would most likely favor Goncalo over Martial.
Mahr... oh wait. fecked up there didn’t we
It's almost time to change the name of the thread to: "Who do we have that can play at RW?" or "Formations that don't require a RW".
Injured. Bullet dodged.
Would rather go younger; Pulisic or Guedes for me.
Woody ought to consider alternatives to Willian and just plan for the future (likely one w/o Mourinho).
We really need to get on Pulisic. America throughout its history has been known for its great right wing.
I think we are going to end up signing Willian, he would improve our RW.
The main concern about Willian is his price considering his age.
I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea use that money to sign Pulisic/Bailey to replace Willian.

Zaha is certainly a good option however if Mou wants a 'Giggsie' classic type of winger then he should have a look at Chiesa. He might get the man he wants there. I am also a big fan of Bernardeschi. He had a rough patch at Juventus (they basically brought him as cover) but I can see him develop in the Willian type of winger Mou craves for. Unlike Willian though he's got an eye to goal which I think its a bonus.
I doubt we'll be adding a winger though. Mou said we will be lucky if we add 1 more player and that player will probably be a CB.

Yep. Been thinking this ever since his contract dispute. Love him at Utd.
was surprised we didn't bring in Martins given that he was free.... would have been a good squad option and if we sold him in a year or two it's all profit
Give Barcelona Martial and 30m for Dembele now that Malcom has arrived?
They probably wouldn’t even want Martial.
Zaha could be a good option at a proper age. Do we have any buy back clause or anything like that ?? We have some clause for Memphis IIRC.
I think we have a significant sell on clause, which would of course make any deal cheaper for us. Has he not been playing more through the centre for Palace though?
I think we have around a 25% sell on clause, which will make any deal cheaper for us.
Great, even better. And he has played mostly on the RW I think, but I maybe wrong on that. Still, the important point is that he can easily play RW and is the exact type of player we need. It seems so obvious but we don't seem to be interested in him at all.
I would take pulisic over dembele because the guy loves Man Utd! We don't need another AdM or Martial who down tools the moment things go south. We need players who really want to be here.
I'd prefer Lingard to Zaha alllll day long. Zaha's good for mid table teams but not top teams. He has zero technique, it could be seen by the way he strikes the ball when shooting or crossing.
The scenes if we don't sign a right winger
We also don't need another Herrera or Mkhitaryan just because he loves the club. Not saying Pulisic will turn out average, but from what I've seen I prefer the talent and ceiling of Dembele. In an ideal world we keep Martial and get an attacking manager in next year to rule over these options.
Martial Lukaku Dembele
Sanchez Rashford Lingard
Sanchez Rashford Lingard
I'd prefer Zaha to anyone.
He's unpredictable for opposing full backs and carried Palace on his own steam - get him.

I'm sure this place will go into meltdown, but I think so many of us are resigned to us not getting one, it'll not be as bad as people are predicting.
Zero technique?
Zaha terrorizes defences and wins many freekicks.
Monchi is supposed to be a god among mere football mortals, so maybe we should be examining Roma's post-Malcom shortlist, which, according to the Italian press, consists of Thauvin, Bailey, Pulisic, Oyarzabal and Suso.
Championed this guy a while ago. More LW though, although can play on both.
Doubt we'll get one, and if Willian is the one i'm sure well have scenes anyways.. With the players who've passed us by these last two seasons, signing Willian for 60-70 million will probably warrant it to some extent aswell.
Seriously, on the wings?
I agree that Lingard has a better and more consistant overall technique that's very important at a big club, but he's not a game changer like Zaha is and has never been any good playing on the wings. He can't beat a defender, he's not particularly pacy and he's not a great crosser.
Apart from Suso and Oyarzabal they're all pretty well known and have been regularly mentioned on here. If we weren't interested in Malcom, which I don't see how we could've been, I don't see us having any interest in the rest either.
Either Thauvin or Bailey would do the job at RW for us imo
Pulisic is overrated and would cost an arm and a leg to get from Dortmund but he is an actual RW.
He likes buying players. They can field two strong teams, with many of the players being relatively young.
Would not mind him if we in the future were to appoint a DoF, as few or none of the players he have brought to Roma has turned out to be "Darmians". But this could also be due to good coaching.
We should be signing whoever Chelsea would sign to replace him.
If we sign a RW, it will be Willian. Based on our current attacking system(lack of?) Willian is the one likely to perform best.
Signing young/inexperienced players for a team with little instructions/plans on how to attack is not the way to get immediate results.
If you are thinking next season/next manager/long term future, then i agree with you. But with how the situation is today, with Mourinho being the manager, signing Willian is sadly enough the best option.
I get your point. For the upcoming season or two under Mourinho, Willian might be the best bet. I'm thinking more long term. Mourinho will likely be gone in 1-2 years. And even if he gets Willian and whoever he wants he's not likely to get us the PL or CL in the time he has left. Would be better if we had a DoF in charge of signings, so that each manager wouldn't have to overhaul the squad so much.
Get Monchi and Eusebio Di Francesco before next season and i will be happy.
Didn't Thauvin bomb at Newcastle?
All young unproved and present equal risk.
If Richarlison is rated at upto 50mil, I'd gladly pay 60mil for Pulisic.
The Zaha comments are interesting, he's shown great form down the middle for Palace, but he has been here and somewhat failed. Is he better at RW than Mata/Lingard etc? I'd say he probably is - he is pacy direct and a bit dynamic - nothing like we currently have
I've lost hope on Bale and Willian will end up at Barca, although I wouldn't be over the moon with Willian he's a damn sight better RW than Mata/Lingard/Rashford & Martial so......
