Tell me about him Clarence because that clip has me very intrigued. I've never heard of him!

Just watched some vids of him - looks an exciting prospect. Certainly has the touch and agility to suit the style we intend to play. Right kind of profile if he’s to come in a provide cover and an alternative to Martinelli and Saka

He really does look interesting. Youtubing him he reminds me a little bit of Tomas Rosicky - albeit a turbo-charged version.

End product looks a bit lacking but nothing that can’t be developed.

Would love to get him and a midfielder

The promising part is he takes set-pieces, and you can see ball striking quality there, and also when he switches play. If he can get his foot through the ball, he can be taught to make the right runs and finish reliably enough.

More like Hleb.

Don’t think he resembles either

Looks alright. Doesn't massively do it for me. Seems more suited to a wingback roll in the prem.

If we are going for a winger instead of a CM, he needs to be really top top tier

heard good things about mudryk, but I prefer us to get a real hitter with a bit more of a resume behind them

I think we need both. CM should be a starter but if Pepe goes we need a back up RW. A young guy with potential for the right price would be ideal.

Probs get in an unknown or two bit for the winger and midfield additions I’d be happy with a pick n mix from these pools

Winger: Diaby, Gakpo, Mudryk, Pino, Bowen, Sane, Berardi

Midfield: SMS, Paqueta, Maddison, Caicedo, Tonoli,

That's the conclusion you get from watching his highlights reel? That he is suited for wingback role?

Right now.. Could be yeah. Looks like his stand out features are that he is quick, good carrier of the ball and tenacious.. far from convinced any of his tricks would work in the prem, especially the way he runs past players like they are in slow motion  but hey, maybe he is the white Usain Bolt. End product/decision making looks questionable as well from other clips but he is still young.

Actually thing a lot of wingers could have had better careers if they dropped back into a wingback/FB role.. The position has evolved some much now.

Anyway, I've seen him for 5 seconds, im sure he could probably play on the wings eventually for a decent club, just more highlighting that he if we want a ready made winger to come in and have an instant impact. Doubt this is the guy.

One of the key things for me for whoever comes in needs to have consistent quality end product as something like that does not get taught over a few months.

TBH whilst I love pace in attacking roles, I'd much prefer to sacrifice some pace to have the ability to retain possession whilst running at Defenders as seen from Jesus for the opening goal v Bournemouth, or any of the slaloming runs seen from Messi. An ability to change gears quickly with a burst of acceleration to go past defenders and/or break into space.

Mudryk is most likely not going anywhere. The player is very open about his career, said Brentford Juventus and Leverkusen have bid for him but he said he wants only Leverkusen which would be a smart career move. However Srna has changed his mind about selling him and he's staying there now.

As for comparisons he's basically a white Diaby, very similar player types. Low centre of gravity, great dribbling, rapid comfortable with either foot only thing he's lacking is scoring himself but neither did Diaby before last season.

really shoulda gone for this guy
