What would be the general opinion if we signed Lauriente and Bischoff but sold Mundle to spurs for their homegrown quota?

Just a thought
Depends on the fee but I’d love for him to stay I think he has what it takes to be one of our best players this season

when my mate who’s a Chelsea fan watched mundle he noticed the difference in quality he brought
 
Disappointed personally, but I guess it makes a bit more sense in terms of squad management. Would be hugely price dependent too. If we get more for Mundle than we spend on Lauriente then we're maintaining a decent spot. Would be another erosion of an excellent squad culture though.
Unfortunately don't think they'd be remotely close, I wouldn't be too keen on losing another of the squad but he only managed a third of our games last season which is a slight worry.

Yeah I agree, would be good for us financially and more than adequate replacements - although I don't think he would want to go back.
FWIW I don't think Mundle is going anywhere so if we Sign Lauriente, maybe Bischoff is brought in as LWB/LB back up or doesn't come in at all

Are people writing Lauriente off because he's played one season in Serie B?

His stats and ratings are perfectly good in Serie A and Ligue 1.

Also we need wingers desperately, Mundle isn't enough, we need proper competition and depth, I also wouldn't rely on Mundle to play most games, considering he's just had 2 hamstring injuries not long after eachother
It's all about intent. We'll see how it pans out, but if there is truth in the idea that we're targeting 5 key signings to go directly into the first team picture then LW is at best the 5th on the list of priority - and that is probably being a bit generous. If we're going further than 5 - or we find significant contributors for lower prices - then all good.

I don't think he'd come in at all, although the fee would be pretty easy to almost write off with being so low.

We probably wouldn't want a right footed left back as the only other option as Le bris wants them to go on the outside.

I disagree myself, I think LW and RW are the most important as well as CM.

I'm not comfortable going into a season where we need pace on the break and to only have Mundle who can do that and he's suffering from some hamstring injuries, which are notorious for recurring

I'd prefer to keep him, I think he's one of a handful that could end up thriving in the Premier League given a bit more experience, can we have all three? <laugh>

Would be nice but squad probably too thin to focus on left wingers only - maybe the club could see the future sell on potential in Bischoff that makes it more than worthwhile

RW, CMx2, DC. All of those are inarguably more important than LW. Gets a bit murkier from there, but I'd probably rather spend big on another centre half before I spend big on another winger. Either that or a wide option who seems more naturally able to play both sides with complete comfort (albeit I'm very much relying on youtube so Lauriente may be more capable there).

Yeah Lauriente has played on the right too and CF before

Maybe it works then - although I'd be astonished if he ever plays a minute through the middle. Just seems a bit weird to earmark a player whose recent career was so heavily based on success from wide left to take a critical role wide right. Its a role he doesn't appear to have played in a very long time (if transfermarkt is to be believed). See how it all works out though I guess. There's definitely a world where it makes complete sense when we see it all together.

We should probably place some of our focus on versatile players, a winger who can play both sides a bit more naturally than Mundle and Roberts would probably benefit the squad. I'd still probably take all three if that was an option and find a way to either rotate or squeeze them in.

He will be taking over at LW from Mundle imho
