Surprised everyone is so down on Toney, we need a goalscorer
Based on zero cover on RW, if it’s one or their other it’s Neto for me.
Neto in Jan, lets go
Pedro Neto translated into English is Peter Lidl.
Neto feels the better choice based in current season needs… RW and even LW cover would be helpful. Could also see a F9 role akin to what Trossard does from time to time…
Hopefully fully behind the injury curse!
Pedro, or whoever Mikel prefers at RW.
We got options at ST in Jesus, Nketiah, Trossard and Havertz. Hell even Martinelli can play there.
Make what you will of those options but they are options.
Now let’s list who can play RW instead of Saka: Jesus. That is all, and it takes him away from his best position.
Pedants will say Reis and Vieira can play RW too but come on, not without significant drop off from Bukayo.
I’m not saying we don’t need a ST, but for my money, a top class RW is more important.
Like both - but we literally have no proper RW depth outside of Jesus - who prefers to play the 9 anyway.
Neto can also literally create something out of nothing and is comfortable playing on either flank. Not a fan of his injury record though.
