What are the realistic targets for RW if we're going for an elite signing. Diaby, Chiesa, Raphinha. Many others?

I'd take Barnes

Then you bring in someone like Tielemans or Lerma on a free if it is about squad depth, that or you spend more on someone who should improve the starting 11, like we have with Tonali over Longstaff.

 

Spending big money on a player who isn’t going to improve the starting 11 would be daft unless it is part of some sort of succession planning, especially after we did it with Gordon.

 

Tielemans is garbage.

 

I don't disagree with your point though.

Scoring was an off and on problem throughout the season and Miggy going crazy for a bit kind of bailed us out. The defense was really amazing November through January and then started to give way toward the end. We need a frontline scorer and a defensive addition with our next two moves. Midfield after that.

Nelson would be quite an astute signing imo; he’s the kind of player that needs a run of games and good coaching but once it “ clicks” he could genuinely be something special. He’s got so much going for him. 
 

I do think though that signing a Nelson doesn’t exactly send the message that we’re really going for it. Seems like FFP is really hampering us otherwise we’d be trying for a more ready-made, world class winger.

He isn't garbage at all. Question marks over his engine, but he's still great with the ball at his feet.

He’s had a very poor season and half. Decent signing for free tho

He's a good striker of the ball with moderate abilities elsewhere.

 

Just easier to say garbage mate, simple as.

Nelson would be a reasonably astute addition.

Reminds me of a pacey Joelinton/Willock hybrid tbh. Not the flashy next level signing we are looking for but he would fit in here well imo and give us more wriggle room in other areas.

I really like Nelson. Great versatility along the front 3

Nelson has done nothing of note to suggest we should be signing him imo.

Hes fine as a free transfer but the problem is he would be the RW signing and we would have the same problems. Apart from his Bundesliga spell his numbers are poor.

Nelson will actually be a great pick up on a free for somebody. Agree that he's perhaps not the level we're looking at to seriously upgrade that position though.

I thought he signed a new contract?
