its simple

here are top right footed left wingers who are remotely available (all rated 30m euros or more)

the first two are over £100m, Rafael Leão close to £148m (€175m release clause only good from July 5 to July 15, but payable over installments)

Rafael Leão
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia   

Luis Díaz    would never come here now, likely only would go to RM (no cance), Barca (they cannot afford him) or the Saudis, for a HUGE salary
Nico Williams  
Kingsley Coman    28yo, turns 29 next spring
Kaoru Mitoma  28yo,  turns 29 next spring
Ademola Lookman   
Donyell Malen 
Serge Gnabry    turns 30yo next summer
Federico Chiesa   
Jadon Sancho   
Ferran Torres  
Vitor Roque  teenager, Barca may sell, but he doesnt want to leave
Samuel Lino  
Simon Adingra  
Yéremy Pino  
Pepê    

I'd imagine a move for any LM/LWF would be dependent on Sterling being shipped off.

Doué's name has been doing the rounds. You know the age limit our squad seems to have now. 😄

I rate David highly. Rate him more than Osimhen who is at least twice more expensive. Way more complete player. Even in terms of goals if you compare.

Osimhen 4 Seria A seasons:

10, 14, 15, 26 goals. 

David 4 Ligue 1 seasons:

13, 15, 19, 24 goals. 

Get him!

 

Their profiles are very different. Also, I don't see the sense in comparing stats since David hasn't been putting up crazy numbers and plays in a worse league.

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

For a market devoid of world class strikers we have seen a ton of rumours and movement on that front. 
firstly while I have reigned to the fact that we will no sign a proper, experienced, well-established CF, I am happy we have distanced ourselves from that fella from Alaves. Also it looks like we won’t pay 40m for villas backup who I would not mind on a cut price deal. 
Sesko is would have been good value for money with his release clause but I am not exactly distraught we did not get him. He may have a high ceiling but right now he is a deluxe broja and I am not sure that’s what we need.

gyökeres I always wanted to see him in PL to assess if his pace and strength advantage that helped him tons in portugal holds here too. Obviously a massive gamble for arse based on 1 great season at age 26. 

Osimhen is just too expensive. I can’t see him being a total flop but he has clear weaknesses and he would probably end up a better mannered Lukaku who scores 15 goals and does little else. 

David I watched a lot back in 21 when he looked raw but a superstar in the making. So no idea if he trailed off or just no one cares about ligue 1 but I don’t think we could do a lot wrong by getting him for a decent price. French league strikers often adjust alright to PL with many teams over there too setting up quite defensively with big, athletic CBs. His stats imply he is somewhat consistent which is what we need most IMO

But we need more of a David profile. People often speak how we need typical goalscorer but do we?

Conte title season aside we just scored most goals in the last 14 seasons. All this with our best goalscorer in Nkunku not being available. Firmino was in the middle but was scoring less than Salah and Mane. 

If Palmer continues this way and Nkunku joins as expected David would be perfect in the middle because he offers so much more in every department plus will score decent number of goals. And more suitable for Maresca style.

The thing with all of these players you’ve listed is that k don’t see any of them as surefire upgrades on the wingers we already don’t think are quite good enough.

I’d rather we give Omari Hutchinson a legit chance to impress on either wing than buy one of these guys.

I think Désiré Doué (ambipedal BTW) or Morgan Rogers are worth a punt, but yes, I would be willing to try Omari at LW, despite him being primarily a left footer

we so so need to get Sterling the hell out of here, with his monstrous wages (325K to 350K quid per week, depending on what source you trust)

[mkh 272]

With the media now reporting that we want an LA instead of an RA, if Kavrat and Williams don't work out I'd take Doué.

Summerville is being chased by Brighton Liverpool and West Ham the most. Brighton are favourites at the moment!

[Beorn 11]

We have mudryk sterling , Hutchinson, nkunku and Jackson who can all play there , considering how forgettable the linked names are , it hardly seems an area for concern.

unless we are selling mudryk and or sterling, which would probably be a wise idea

Going to have to sell Mudryk at a loss to be honest.. I don’t think he’ll come good he should have stayed where he was for 3 more years developed his football more.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will likely cost at least £101.5m to £110m (€120m to €130m)

I cannot see the posion dwarf taking much less at all, maybe maybe €110m (£93m)

and his wage demands will be massive

[Gundalf 804]

Most important thing is the wage bill. Everyone above 150k is beyond reach for us.

[Vesper 28,768]

the ones they will not sell

Nos referimos a Ter Stegen, Pau Cubarsí, Gavi, Pedri, Fermín y Lamine Yamal. El resto, o bien están en la rampa de salida o se estudiarán sus casos en el caso de que llegue una oferta interesante.
