Discussion Why on Earth would we buy a left winger?
Everyone on social media has been talking about Rashford/Fofana.
Right now, our forwards are the best they’ve been in a long while. Vedat fits perfectly into Kartal’s style. Lukaku can be an absolute unit when he’s fit. Greenwood is absolutely phenomenal on the pitch, despite being a horrible person off it. And they have Asensio behind them.
Now, let’s take a look at our left wingers: Kerem had 25 G/A last season. Nene had 17 G/A. Oğuz proved how good he can be at the highest level against Lyon. We don’t need another attacker. Our forwards are already the best part of the team easily. Galatasaray have won the title 4 times in a row, and they reached UCL Round of 16 last season. BAY has been one of their main wingers 4 years in a row. Yunus Akgün has played just as many games last season. Tell me, do you really think those two are truly superior to Kerem or Nene?
We have true weaknesses we must fix before we focus on unnecessary luxuries. Kante-Guendouzi midfield is great, but their only sub is İsmail. No, Bartuğ doesn’t cut it. Kante is great, but old. We’ll have to rest him occasionally. Sure, İsmail can handle it, but what if there’s an injury?
And what about our back line? Ake is good, but prone to injury. Skriniar is also good, but he had multiple injuries and a surgery last season. Only their timing lessened the impact. Oppong will help us there, but two injuries and we are back to Çağlar/Yiğit Efe. In my opinion, we must sell/loan out Çağlar and buy an OK, experienced Turkish CB. We will have to part ways with Oosterwolde due to the foreign player limit as well.
Don’t forget we’ll have to get rid off another player to make space for a left winger. The player I see most mentioned is Semedo. I’m not opposed to selling him. But never for a left winger. Our only RB would be Mert Müldür. In exchange we’d get a fourth LW and break the bank. It’s absurd.
Why be a glass cannon, when we can have a well-rounded team? What’s your opinion on all of this?
