So does Moore, but my point was more about bringing in a 1st team winger that can actually dribble and keep the ball, regardless of what side of the pitch he plays on. Son, Werner, Johnson and Moore aren't good enough options to challenge Top 4 and a European comp IMO.

I think it was the biggest need prior to the window opening and it’s the most glaring omission in it to date.
Werner and Johnson especially are timid and too keen to come back towards their own goal. We really needed someone who can consistently run at people to improve.
Leeds forced Gray out to meet ffp requirements I believe. Noises that his family weren't best pleased about it.
Doesn’t he play either side?
Don't believe so.
LW or CM usually. (Sounds like a certain English player we're linked with)
Id prefer Eze in that case
I'm not "defending" Johnson - he had an excellent first season. Again - he scored or assisted 20% of our goals in our 2nd most prolific season in 40 years, and did so in a limited role playing often from the bench.
Nico Williams' production is basically identical, yet the same people in this thread shitting on Johnson have spent the summer frothing at the mouth over Williams.
And, again, I back Johnson to improve significantly this season. Buckle up, it's going to be fun.

Think that is a shame as we know this all ends. Yet we can keep players like skipp. From what I’ve seen of Alfie he is a much more technical player than skipp. He came on v BM. And kind of played on the right of the midfield 3. Im sure Alfie can play that role.
Proof how misleading stats can be
Nah. Goals are the way the sport is scored. I've never seen anyone earn points for running around well.
Put your money up or stop quoting me on the subject of Johnson.
Think Trincao plays RW for Sporting usually.
If you can't recognise the difference between a Nico Williams and a Brennan Johnson perhaps this is not the sport for you.
He plays both wings and AM but he is like a technical Dele or like Bruno Fernades, great in and around the box, good passer, great finisher, decent dribbler, but lacks explosive pace, so not what we need for the wing IMO.
If you don't recognise that goals and assists win games then football is 100% not the sport for you.
Try ice dancing.
Also a Mendes client, so can sod right off.
In their 20/21 title winning season he played on the "right" side. But it doesn't really count because they were playing very narrow (like Glasner's Palace). Goncalves would constantly run in behind the striker, and usually with great timing, so he scored for fun. Haven't watched Sporting recently but since it's still Amorim, I'm guessing Goncalves is as much of a winger as Olmo. So would probably be for Maddison's spot and I don't really see it

Brentford used to have an excellent reputation for doing deals to get very good quality players in at low fees.
Not doing well this window - they thought they had signed Archie Gray before that deal fell apart like this one has !
