Unusually I have actually seen Konrad de la Fuente play, as he came on as a sub for Olympique Marseille in our pre-season game, but I can’t say I noticed him particularly.

Christoph Stiepermann 1,261 Posted January 16, 2023 I think the old fashioned style winger who plays wide, gets to the byline and hits crosses in is pretty useless in modern football and we have enough already in Rashica/Placheta/Tzolis but the other type of wide player who is quick with the ball at their feet, skillful and prefers to cut inside and take players on (like an upgrade on Hernandez or a similar type of player to Redmond/Huckerby or in modern times Sarr/Zaha/Saint-Maximin) is exactly what we need you see a lot of other clubs have a lot of success with players like that. I know nothing about this player, but I'm not going to think of him as a winger just because that's how The Pink Un have described him. I agree with everything Parma has said in the past about the obsolescence of players like Tzolis, Placheta and Rashica who are all very much chalk on their boots wingers and if this guy is in a similar mold then I agrre with the thought that we have more than enough already. However if he's more a Hernandez type player but has a bit more end product then I think we're extremely light with that type of player in the squad and could really do with another option 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The winger isn't dead as such...their job has simply been delegated to the modern wing-back. They are the players that will go nearer to the by-line and put in those high and long, low % chance crosses. Inside forwards will operate either side of the front man, supporting and dove tailing with them. They need to chip in with goals, be direct, pacey and will deliver those higher % crosses that originate inside the penalty box that are fast, low and nasty. They will normally play inverted - lefty on the right, righty on the left - the ability to cut inside and belt one at the keeper being king. OTBC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say we're pretty low on the ground. Stesdy on there chap. Can't have facts spoiling things. Whereas in reality we are rather short of attacking players. Pukki, Sargeant, Idah and Onel, yet we still get comments on here about the defence. Defensive Midfield is covered by McLean, Sorensen, Gibbs.The idea that wingers are 'old fashioned' is absurd. It is not about having a player who hogs the toughlinemfor 90 mins, but a player who can use speed to get past the opposition and hit a pass towards another player accurately. That he will also come inside, as with Aarons and Giannolous, doesn't negate that ability or need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 371 Posted January 18, 2023 If its a winger we want could consider Paul Smyth of Leyton Orient. He is fast and very direct and scores goals. Only drawback is he plays Div 2, not a profile for a City recruit, Webber seemingly not interested in young English players. Would be cheap and fit into our wage structure, unfortunately left sided up against top rankers such as Rash and Placeta. Watch him get a move and tear up the Champs.
