So at present on the flanks we have Bale, Lennon, Townsend, Chadli. It looks we are about to spend £30m on Willian who can play either flank or in the middle. Then it looks like we plan to pay a similar amount - possible more - on Lamela, but he also plays on the wing? Maybe he is a Bale replacement or not. It would seem to me that its very strange to pay such a high amount for 2 players who play in the same/similar position? Or am i missing something?? i would have thought another large investment in a top draw striker would make more sense in case for example Soldado gets injured etc. Feel sure I am missing something obvious about Willian and Lamela..
We once stock RBs. Earlier in the off-season we stock CMs. And now the flavour has changed to Wingers or wide forwards.
