    RLB managed him for 3 games only and they were all left wing if that’s any indicator

    he was ****ing class in those 3 games

    All my Leeds mates are saying the total opposite, convinced his position is in midfield as he's an average CB.

    Battle of the mates I guess.

    Not so sure, he was pulling up some very good data while in Ligue 1, i'm sure he was on lists with mbappe and the like or I could be getting that wrong

    I now wouldn't be stunned if we didn't sign an obvious CF. Your traditional CF is something of a dying breed.

    Maybe he was on some successful dribbles list in Ligue un but he never really had a standout season, his first at sassuolo had him touted at one of the best wingers in serie A.

    In the same way I was sure isidor was a striker, I feel pretty confident Lauriente is coming as a left winger - and that's what's confusing me.

    Adingra cannot play on the right.
    Mundle we haven't really seen play well there.

    I can't work out how they're going to balance game time.

    Maybe not dying so much in the prem where everyone has a 6'2 beast these days.

    There's defo a point where you have too many, though, even accepting that they're more likely to get sub minutes. Also even with extra subs we're likely to have expensive players sat in the stands each week, which comes with its own problems. 38000 outfield prem minutes available this season. We're already trending towards having less than 1600 mins per man on average. There'll definitely be some unhappy players at those numbers. Additionally having such a big squad hampers our ripcord in case the worst happens. We can tell ourselves that all these young players will retain their value if we get relegated. However, they won't if they don't get on the pitch enough.

    I'm gonna put my neck on the line and i'll be wrong but I think his data showing how good he is in and around the box, the fact he played striker a lot at Lorient and his goal tally from last season, I can see him being used as a striker and on both wings too. Doesn't make much sense otherwise

    Another player i havent heard of but appears to be highly rated and full of speed.

    Cant wait to see how we line up through the friendlies and into the league, which ever way we do line up its certainly going to be quick on the break!
