Does Miggy get sold this window? Are we waiting to close on a new RW before sending him to Saudi? Not improving that position would be a pretty big let down for me. Thiaw would be a nice move backup and the future but I don't see him starting over Schär.
Nothing wrong with planning for the future but this move does virtually nothing for the next season. We now have six right legs and one left across the front three.
Madueke would be perfect for us. Chelsea paid £28.5 for him and want £40 but they have too many players vying for rw and need to sell. My guess is we buy at around £35 with add ons. He can cover for striker too.
Finding someone clearly better than Schar w/ our budget is virtually impossible. He is playing very well right now. Finding someone who can be a back-up and develop into a Fabian Schar is not nearly as difficult. The option we need to be clearly better than the starter is RW and that is also not going to be very difficult given where Miggy is and where he is heading. I feel like we can be older on the back line than we can in the right and left wings.
