Right Winger... Who do we go for?

I've just about accepted that Mourinho seems to have no interest in signing a proper right winger. Think he's happy enough rotating Lingard, Rashford and ugh Mata there.

Willian or bust. Effin depressing.
 
What about Maxwel Cornet? I know he's not that impressive in Ligue 1 apps, but he kills City every time Lyon play them.


 
Neres from Ajax has really improved a lot this year. He has improved his work rate and is less selfish. For me his is better than Lozano who relies purely on pace. Neres has pace and can dribble.
 
Lozano, Pulisic, Bailey.

Or a more experienced winger until Chong is ready.
 
Willian won the league under Jose.

Agreed, but that level of epl was a lot lower level to this one.

He would have improved us, no one is arguing that but not that much for that much price and his decreasing levels of fitness with inconsistency.
 
If it was a choice between Zaha or Willian for right wing i think i would take Zaha. Having said that if it was a choice between Mata and my 70 year old mum for right wing i would lean towards my mum. So my judgement might be a bit off on this one.
 
Doesn’t Zaha play more as a striker at the moment? Will he be suited to playing on the right anymore?

What? Neres is nowhere near his performance of last year atm.

If you want a winger with pace who can dribble, the only answer in the Eredivisie at the moment is Bergwijn.
 
Willian is a good player but I’d prefer someone younger. Lozano I like the look of. I’ve heard Pulisic is a Utd fan as well.

I disagree. His work rate is better as has his decision making. Just look at Ajax second goal on Saturday. Last year he would have shot. Now he has the presenc e of mind to find Huntelaar. Bergwijn started the season well but has faded recently. His performances for Holland have hardly ben impressive
 

Yes, he turned into a teamplayer. But not nearly as decisive as last year.

I completely agree with @Ajaxsuarez. If you want a winger from the Eredivisie, PSV is the place to go. I think Lozano is better at the moment, but i also think Bergwijn has more potential. He's making huge steps this year.
 
I guess Pulišić would make sense from marketing side as well, him being naturalized american and all that.
 
We don't, we play two up front. We have 3 strikers that all seem like they need someone next to them. 4-3-1-2. I'd be going for someone to play behind the striker, helping the transition from midfield to attack.
 
I want a winger that can excite me like watching this. No hidings, take responsibility, other than speed and skill.

 
:drool:

That interview is from a match against Leicester though.

I miss that kind of wing-play, man...

You look at the state of our team, and the manager first instinct is to get a fecking CB. And sadly, a quite numbers of our fans buy his opinion. Things change..
 
Chiesa or Bailey first choice with Lozano possibly worth a punt.

Bailey is barely starting for Leverkusen these days.

If Mourinho somehow survives to August it wouldn't shock me if you went for Robben, similar punt to Zlatan.
 
Bailey is nothing more than a hype product from 6 good months last season.
No idea why people rate him so much
Willian isn't productive enough, neither is Zaha

If we're looking for a winger that creates danger and dribbles well rather than cut inside and pack up numbers then I'd go for Douglas Costa over anyone else

What about Maxwel Cornet? I know he's not that impressive in Ligue 1 apps, but he kills City every time Lyon play them.
He is wank, Lyon fans are dreaming of the day he finally leaves the club for good
 
It depends on who the next manager is

This.

We should already be in talks with our next manager and buy who they fancy. City did this with Pep, it's exactly why Bayern didn't sign KDB and City did.
 
Thauvin from Marseille will be looking to leave next summer if they don't have CL football

11 goals in 15 ligue 1 games this season, 22 goals 11 assists last season.

He doesn't have the crazy dribbling ability and overall one on one proffciency as others wingers options but he scores/assists a LOT.
 
Sancho is the only one worth getting. English, young and already making waves. Don't think we'd do it though, I actually think Chong is highly rated enough to get a chance.
