I think if we get Barcola over the line, we won't be signing any more wingers. Barcola, Munoz, Ngumoha, Elliot & Morrison can play on the RW too and Wirtz & Szoboszlai could too. That's also with me counting on us selling Gakpo too, so if he stays until January f.eks we should be more than set in attacking areas.
The worry is the defence specially after Ndkwue was denied a work permit too. Hope we bring in Zabarnyi.

I still think people are sleeping on Chiesa as a genuine rotation option. Fitness was less of an issue last season and more that Slot refused to play him. He only got cameo appearances and it's understandable he'd be off the pace with a lack of match sharpness. He's another who I think can do a job in a higher tempo team.

Did Chiesa play as the centre forward Sat night?

I think that anyone still putting Chiesa forward as an option needs to ask themselves if they really understand football. He would not get a regular start in ANY other Premier League team.

Backing someone like Chiesa is a difference of opinion, Kemlyn, and a long way from being an outrageous shout.
Besides from the fact Chiesa could clearly be a starter for about half of the league in terms of ability.
Saying we should consider Rhys Williams as a squad player would be more a suggestion of a lack of understanding of football.
