Why are people talking about N'Goy as a potential wide player?
He's an out and out striker, full stop.

N'Goy actually looked very good on the left in Switzerland last week.

If we could get Ashley Young for Arnie's wages but at a fraction of the price I'd be quite happy. Sobhi and Verlinden aren't too far from stepping up, Young could be a decent stop gap.

How much would Mario Lemina cost us?
Between Ramadan, Berahino, Shaqiri, Diouf, Bojan, Crouch and The young guns - Ngoy, Matthews, Campbell, Verlinden, Telford, etc, Maybe we are good enough going forward.
Perhaps the funds are best spent with quality defenders and players who can lead the transition from defense to attack.
I've been harboring a man crush on Lemina since his "skills" video floated on the Oatcake about a year ago. TransferMarkt suggests Eur 8.5, but who knows. Just a thought.

I've been banging on about Promes on here for other 12 months now.
Even last week people were suggesting to me that he was way out of our league.
It's all about timing though isn't it? These things CAN happen.
If we used the Arnie money (and actually probably a bit more on top) it would be an incredibly astute piece of transfer business to bring him here.
He is exactly what we are missing at the moment.

Interestingly, there is a younger, more rough version of Promes at Ludogorets. Virgil Misidjan. Only 23. Similar profile but not quite as good, yet. Remind me, which team in Bulgaria do Bet365 sponsor? www.ludogorets.com/en/sponsors/

Ramadan is not a replacement for Arnie. If we dont reinvest the 20M from Arnautovic on a proven midfielder who can chip in with goals and assists then we will be up against it.
Promes, Yarmolenko and Chadli would be ideal, All three would fetch a big price tag though.
What about Dominico Beradi from Sassuolo? Left footed forward, 20apps last season and 5 goals 9 assists. Quick and direct and would be a great addition.

They're a very well run club but we're already partnered one who knock spots off what we do with fan engagement, interaction and social media. Yet we don't seem to want to learn from them.

He's more of a striker but if he's available we should be after him.

Out of interest what things then do they actually do better? Not just generalisations? Thanks. Ned Orlando? Their matchday is like a carnival, they go past what is expected but they had to, to keep the fans. So there's pubs, fans groups, they have a walk to the ground but like how they do in Germany. They really try to engage with their fans. And it is because they have to, to keep them but it's good to see. Phil Rawlins was or more importantly seemed to be on hand to listen to concerns and to head it up and to be positive. The social media covers all areas. Ours covers the first team and that's it. And it just seems like there's more going on with it. I think it helps that there's a general feel good factor around that club anyway but I think they harness that and actually generate it in the work they do.

Quick and direct and would be a great addition. Ramadan had a better assist to minutes played ratio than MA last season. His first in England and at only 19 years old. Who knows what he can provide with a run of games. The lad is obviously a huge talent who was playing regular before his move. He needs to get going again and let's hope and see!

The stuff we've chucked money at (the easy option) the ground, the training ground have improved. The marketing, the social media, the ticket office etc haven't improved much/if at all.
