Not the end of the world if we do, but you'd hope we won't be going into the season with Almiron and Murphy as the main men for the RW spot.

That’s where Dom Slob comes in perhaps?
 

We are definitely getting one more big signing if they are available. They will max out our FFP limits each window.

Aye. Interested to see if they want a playmaker type like Szoboszlai or a more conventional winger like Kudus or Diaby for example.

If ASM is staying (which is great imo) then you also have Gordon who’s decent, arguably better, on the right as well tbf.

Not saying you're wrong but if we're after a RW I don't see why we'd target someone who's spent about 10% of their appearances playing that position (according to transfermarkt).

 

Then again, if Howe is seeking more fluidity, with players that can play multiple positions, then Szoboszlai would make sense.

I'd personally be much more in favour of a RW/AM hybrid like DS than an out-and- out winger. The flexibility of bringing them into the middle against low blocks while playing someone else out wide could be a real difference maker. 

 

That said, it's nice to be in a situation where the level of trust and confidence in the club is such that I'll be second guessing myself a little bit if we go down a different route with targets.

I think and hope that’s why we’d go for Dom then, he is capable of playing both flanks, an attacking mid and in the middle as an all arounder apparently.

That includes all games including youth etc.

 

Since moving to Leipzig he's played most of his football on the right hand side either right wing or RM - with a the rest of the time mostly as a central AM.

Personally I think a player like that who can play wide or attacking midfield is exactly what we need.

Imagine if our front 3 options could be 3 out of:

 

Left: Maximin, Gordon, Joelinton 

Centre: Isak, Wilson 

Right: Dom, Miggy, Gordon

That's the way we played most of last season. Only when ASM played did we really have an out and out winger. We did very well having players who could use the width without being wingers. If that makes sense.
