these could be had for less than 40m quid a pop, some far less

we need winger depth, especially for next year when Puli and Ziyech will be gone for international duty

 

Hirving Lozano

Gabriel Veron (I think he was one of the 'young South American players' that we were supposedly going to buy in summer 2021)

Leon Bailey

Silas Wamangituka (has scored a brace in back to back games, including destroying Dortmund) 21yo, 1.89m, strong as a bull, super pacey, huge upside

Ousmane Dembélé (Barca is saying 40m euros takes him)

Moussa Diaby

Jesús Corona (name discount?)

Ismaïla Sarr (as long as Watford do not get promoted)

Riccardo Orsolini

Jens Petter Hauge (7 goals, 3 assists for AC Milan, in only 639 minutes)

Samu Chukwueze

Jérémy Doku

Dembele is the 2nd best available winger after Sancho, not sure if he is willing to come here as a sub.

But Dembele is injury prone. Do we really need another one of such player?

If he can sort his injury problems like Robben then the answer is yes.

he is a sub now

and he could, if he reaches his potential, bench Pulisic, especially if Puli is going to be perma injured

that all said, the ones in bold are more to my liking, especially Lozano (huge marketing boost too, he is a massively popular Mexican national)

You might as well say the same about Pulisic too.

And don't think Robben ever sorted his injury problems. He usually played a few games, got injured, returned and played a few games and then got injured again. Rinse and repeat. 

If we are going to buy a winger, I'd rather we just get someone who has a clean injury record, or close to one at the very least.

Robben never truly (sustained) sorted his injury issues

The problem with Lozano is ADL won't let him go for a mere €40m lol.

Is Lozano really a good option though? Has only scored 11 goals and provided 3 assists in 49 appearances for Napoli.

he has been really good this season when I watched him (maybe was somewhat lucky timing as well)

scored 2 braces out of the 4 league games I watched him play so far (against Genoa and Atalanta)

I want to swap Pulisick for Hazard, I think he'd jump at the chance to come back here.

And for us to get rid of sicknote.

This is where we are at now, huh, calling Pulisic names just because of his injuries?  Said it before, people keep on talking about it like Pulisic wants to get injured on purpose. I mean sure, we are all frustrated as fans to see someone keeps on getting injured but you can bet that no one is more frustrated about it than the player himself. I don't think Lampard and the club have given up on him yet.

And swap Pulisic for Hazard? Hazard also has been having his own injury problems at Real Madrid and given his age, I'd not take him back at all. Plus, his time at the club here is done, over. People need to move on from this idea of having Hazard back.
