OK so we all seem to agree that we need a genuine wide man - but what type?
Do we want an attacker (winger or wide forward), a workhorse or someone who will track back and defend?
What are the key attributes we want, to the point that we are perhaps willing to forgo any other considerations if they are good enough?
I think it's too early to tell what Emery formation/positions Emery will be playing.
If Ozil is playing as the 10/AM, then I want a winger who is ready to run into space and track back, far less worried about their on ball ability....a la Walcott.
If Ozil is wide, and Ramsey is at 10/AM, then it becomes a question of are both Auba/Laca playing, or rotating as our lone forward? If they're both playing than I want a super sub that is focused on end product (William, if you may). If they're rotating, I want a winger who can drive us forward on one flank, where as Ozil will slow us down and create from the other flank (a la Dembele).
I'm just throwing out well known names of players who I think have distinct styles. Not actually wish listing any of those but Dembele 🙂
