Paratici likely had a role in us buying Johnson as he went to watch Nottingham Forest numerous times when they were in the Championship, shortly after we bought Johnson and Spence.

Johnson is a good player in terms of goals and assists. He isn’t a good winger though, doesn’t dribble well nor press that well. Seems more like a player suited to a Dele Alli style role than as an out and out winger in an Ange system. I mean he got the winning goal and all but the way Ange wants to play Johnson, Son and Tel are quite odd fits.

I think at least one winger needs to be a good dribbler in any system including Ange’s. Our team was quite unbalanced this year despite Johnson’s goals.
So buying Sane could make sense, if he’s still got that ability.

Odobert was injured for much of the season - something unlikely to have been foreseen as he'd had minimal injuries in last 2 seasons, one in PL with Burnley and before in French top division. And he's definitely the dribbly winger type

Son, Werner, Tel and Moore are all 'speedy' forwards rather than out and out wingers but do add a bit of balance. The issue with Sane could be age and whether like Son he's getting a little on the old side

I think I like the Sane deal on paper.. I know there's concerns, but we cant keep running away from these kinds of risks and signing 18/19 year olds. We've got to "dare" at some point.

He's played 30 plus league games for the last few years, so the injuries aren't mounting up.. If we can get a couple years out of him near his best level, then we are undoubtedly more dangerous because of it.

When he was at Man City, I thought this is Bale reborn.. It'd only make sense for him to end up in our shirt.

He moved from Man City 4 years ago at his peak to Bayern.

He's a free transfer now as Bayern didn't want to renew his contract, possibly with his wages being high and/or him wanting a longer contract that would take him beyond Son's age.

So he could be ok for a short contract only.
 
We should be sniffing City. Macatee might be off and he is a proper ready player now, another Palmer/Delap/Gittens. If City buy Cherki also Oscar Bobb should be a player we go for. Both of these are technically excellent and we need to up the technical level of the squad.
 
Regulion is off, Daveis probably behind him. We need a back up left back, I would imagine a free club trained Walker Peters will be on the list. Wouldn’t be surprised if our next 3 signings are

Sane
gomes
Walker-Peter’s

Walker-Peters is definitely a favorite to get picked up. Especially now that Whiteman is off. We are down below the four required club trained senior players needed to field a full UEFA squad.
 
Sané would easily be our best winger by a country mile. Perfect, no, but a top player.

Son is finished. Johnson a tap-in merchant who couldn’t complete a take-on in Sunday League. Odobert, Moore, Tel (?) are all nowhere near ready yet.

Get him in, get another winger/creative player in, get a proper forward to rotate with Dom, get an attacking midfielder and a holding midfielder, get a utility FB/CB. MINIMUM Six players needed if we want to finish in the European places.
