i would love to have a dilemma like this, eg having lennon on bench. that is manu-esque. but the problem really comes down to priority. addressing the right wing starter, isnt a problem. the problem lies with the cover.
like what i said, the priority now for us should really be a CM(mod replacement)->ST(we only have ade)-> GK(brad is not gonna last) -> then to whatever position that we have to cover, or weak in.
if we sanction 17 - 18m, this guy HAS to be an automatic starter, even breaking our 17m bentley record. He is a very very good player, i agree, but it really isnt worth it when lennon is good enough to do a job, then you spend 18m just to get him to the bench.
i wouldnt mind having him as a luxury, but i seriously think that this is a player we should only consider after we clear up the bigger problems
Whilst i agree with most of this we shouldn't have players in any position in our team who are 'good enough to do a job' - we should have great players in all positions.
At the moment i think we can genuinely say this about: RB, 2x CB, LB, DM, AM, LW, ST
I think we still need great players at: GK, RW, CM
Now CM is certainly a priority and another striker is also pretty damn important, but sometimes you have to take what is on offer, we have a really good chance of signing Willian and as such we'd be fools to pass it up, even if that position is perhaps 2 or 3 down the order of positions that we need to fill.
