7 goals and 9 assists to Sarrs 3 goals and 3 assists , Gallagher incredible at pressing and comes across as more of a leader, plus a much needed homegrown player. So yes he is preferable to Sarr in just about every metric.
We wont get a top winger because of Werner, as their is no space in the squad for another winger that isn't club trained.
We weren't in Europe last season (different registration rules) and Sarr no longer counts as U21.
Phillips cant become club trained anymore, as he has been on loan so can no longer do 3 years at the club before he turns 21.
Yes he is. He is probably the best #8 at pressing in the world (along side Ederson), makes good runs into the box, good finisher and good passer. He made 7 assists last season and almost twice as many key passes per 90 as any of our CMs bar Maddison and Lo Celso.
Then it will be the same shit we struggled with last season with wingers who slow the play down all the time. We cried out for a top winger last season
Edwards doesn't slow play down and can quickly dribble through a defence (I am concerned about his pressing though), so it does improve us slightly out wide, but there were a number of times we flashed dangerous crosses across goal but our striker wasn't in the box to finish them off, so getting the right striker in, as well as Gallagher, who is dangerous in and around the box and who's pressing will create opportunities, would improve our attack. Not ideal, but a start.
We'll move on Gil and Solomon surely
Non HG: 22
Edwards got dropped for trincao and I can him getting bullied by defenders here. Not good enough we are only after him because we are fucked for home grown talent
Even so, we still need to bring in a striker and a LB (or LCB, depending where we see Davies). We can have 21 players that aren't club trained (minimum of 4 of which have to be HG), so lets say:
Edwards got an Illness in January that resulted in him being swapped out for Trincao. He tore us a new one in the CL and also played well v Woolwich (4 times) and City, so I doubt he would get bullied in the PL.
