    Could be quite expensive if Jota was £40m

    If hes more of an outside winger then it would help.Someone to go around the full back and along the goal line.

    Looks like he can play both wings but does not seem the type you mention

    OK, well unsure on Neto or this guy. I don't want another forward who can come inside. because it narrows the attack down. And compresses the play.. I know we have done well with Robbo and Trent keeping the width. But teams are catching us out down the sides now.. on the counter.
    if we can find someone who can go around the sides himself. It would turn the opposition towards their own goal. Rather than easily defending front on.

    Neto is what id call a proper winger he does go round the outside.

    I see that Sarr has been linked again that might just be agent/paper talk.

    I also think we need a number 9 type striker too.

    I'm hoping we go for Sancho.

    I find it quite odd that so many wingers like to cut inside.
    It is like they are playing on the wrong foot for the side of the pitch they are playing.
    Yet even when they switch sides still the same tendency seems to happen.
    Is it such a forgotten art for a winger to drive down to the touchline?

    I think we'd have to sell Mane/Salah for that.

    Would he be an automatic starter for us as he plays wide like the two above ?

    I am certain he not be a target as its looking like zero fans again most of 2021/22 season so thats another £80-100m lost.
