Thoughts on RWB…….
It would seem from our many, ambitious and early dealings that Conte wants to go for a title this season and ENIC is backing him.
That’s fantastic.
We’ve strengthened some “weak” positions (CM and LWB) and even some strong positions (£60m Richarlison is in no way a guaranteed starter because of Kane-Son-Kulu).
That’s fantastic.
But it leaves me puzzled about our RWB-strategy.
We seem to be getting Spence, a promising young player, which in itself is great.
In addition, we have Emerson and Doherty. They’ve both had some good and bad spells, but I don’t think either would be considered good enough to
start in a title-chasing PL team. And as for Spence, I don’t think anyone would demand or expect that he can jump from the Championship to the first 11 in a title-chasing PL team.
So, although I basically like all 3, it just seems like our strategy for RWB is a bit disjointed from the rest of the strategy. It would make the most sense to get a
better RWB than to get
more RWB’s this season.
Or is it just me?
