yeah, i dont know why we're looking so far.
guy can play RW and LW equally well and people here want to throw money and buy oldies like Nolito

Nolito is not an oldie. And you don't want only Denis as the only back-up option upfront when the season gets tough and then we complain that why there is not enough quality players on the bench. You know, same old story repeated.

Yeah last season they didn't because we had no backup. Munir and Sandro were not at a good enough level to even come off the bench for them.

In the 2014/15 season Pedro played in 50 games whether it was coming of the bench or starting in "easier" games. So yes we do need someone to rotate with MSN, last season was a disaster in that sense.

Also there is no chance Rafinha will start playing on the wing, it just won't happen.

Denis then

we dont need to spend mamoth amounts of money to find a person to rest msn vs almeria, sabadell etc
or when we are maintaining a 4-0 lead
it's an utter waste of money

Have you thought of the chance of one of MSN getting injured again? What if this happens in the late part of the season if we are in a Champions League Semi Final... you want to start Munir or Sandro then???

Also resting MSN is the key to them being fresh all season.

It's also presumed Denis is returning as a midfielder.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that we will sign Nolito. I dont want it to happen, but I think it will happen.

He was really impressive last night. Slaven Bilics analysis of him was eye opening, his off the ball movement was superb. He is the perfect signing for us atm. We don't need to sign a player like Vietto who has more room to improve, as he simply won't get the game time to do so. We need someone at the peak of their game as cover for MSN (which btw we definitely do need next season) and Nolito fits that description. Plus, he loves Lucho and used to play here so...I think he'll be a steal at just €18 million, considering he is starting and scoring for Spain atm.

The problem is that he can only play in the 5 games where Neymar is out. I am sure Lucho will try to play him out of position as RW and CF though. And if there is big competition from other clubs, we might have to give the 30 year old (he'll turn 30 a couple of months into the season) a massive contract as well.
