Fair points- you’ve changed my mind on him.
Key question now becomes if Conte believes he can convert him to a RW from CAM.
I don’t think price or wages will be an obstacle.

Hate to do it but your he’s and your his are driving me mad
Add to that your god / good and a clear antipathy for paragraphs it’s all fucking hard work mate
Maybe we should have just kept bergwijn?
He’s better than nearly everyone we’ve been linked with in these last 2 weeks

Can’t moura do that ? And if the answer is deemed to be no then we should have sold him no matter how much he wants to run his contract down snd semi retire
We currently got 5 forwards for 3 places is that not sufficient?
Why have we got to go out and buy some old dog to take up a foreign slot and burn wages ?
We should start looking at Liverpool players given that they will be in the process of a complete rebuild within the next 12 months. I'll take TAA for starters.

Traore would be much better than Royal on the attack. Royal is a squad player at best. The right wing would improve.
Somehow think our fanbase would moan about his defending so much we’d convince ourselves he’s just ‘18-19 Trippier 2.0.We should start looking at Liverpool players given that they will be in the process of a complete rebuild within the next 12 months. I'll take TAA for starters.
Actually seeing him defend on the Rashford goal that may be a spot on comparison.
Seems strange we want another wide forward when the team is crying out for a creative midfielder.
The team looks much of a muchness with the same type of players in midfield making everything look laboured but Conte is in charge so.

Kane, Kulu, Son are out 'best 3'. Rich and Moura can play in all 3 positions.
If we bring in another attacking player; it will someone who can provide something extra as an impact sub.
I still think if we could get Adama Traore in the 10-15m range it would be great business. Still young and an absolute nightmare for defences. Useless end product - but I'm sure our coaches could work on that.
It was interesting to see when he came on against us that we had 3 players charge at him each time he got the ball.

Unless he knows something that we don't. As in he's expecting some important departures soon.
My only point was that Adama is an inferior player and wouldn’t be a solution to your complaints.
I never said I wanted him to be a starter... I said the opposite
Conte wants fullbacks that are physically strong and powerful. And it is pretty obvious that Ryan has put on mass and it shows in how he plays now.
A Conte wingback doesn't need to beat his man through pure pace, it is just as fine if he outmuscles or holds off his man.
Reguilon is too small for the wingback role in a Conte system.
What seems very clear is that Conte wants one more player at least and in an attacking sense.
The format and style we play in maybe cannot accommodate a central midfielder like Maddison. Too demanding in a 2.
So it's possibly just a matter of finding a player for the 3 up top role.
Theoretically we do have 4 into 2 for central midfield. A bit light for me but...
We definitely need one more up top though,, good as we are in that area.

Yep fair point and too indisciplined.
We’re going to have to agree to disagree here.
While Royals attacking efforts may leave a lot to be desired, his defensive strengths alone make him a better player than Traore.
If Traore was the equivalent of Perisic but without any ability to defend I could see some merit but the guy does nothing better than Royal. He’s worse offensively and defensively.
Thankfully the Dan James rumours sound nothing more than just that after reading the article. We are no way near bidding for him.
Does feel like it’s the quiet before the storm a bit. Tanganga and Gil close must mean two in. Hopefully of better quality or more experience. It’s gonna be interesting to see who we go for. Lots of smoke and mirrors in the build up I suspect like James.

And physically stronger
And scare defenders more
And actually beat their man rather than run around in big, erratic circles
There should be a post fixed at the top of every page of this thread
There is no place for an "attacking" or "creative" midfielder in this system.
Just repeat it over and over. A player like Maddison, who plays a key role at Leicester and wants to go to the world cup, isn't gonna come and sit on our bench to get 10 minutes here and there when either the 343 isn't working or we 4-0 up and can give players minutes.
