How about not doing the same as we did with Paco by choosing the 5th choice on our transfer list when the others rejected? How about moving Vidal to his original winger position, sign the RB we want and promote Palencia so we're sure to have enough available RBs?
Or how about promising Jordi Mboula preseason with the first team before he decides to sign for Monaco? Maybe he will be an instant hit with Valverde, like Munir was for Lucho?
We could also just use Rafinha and Denis as regular wing backups, but I guess they want wide attacking wingers instead of inside playmaking ones.

Who is our 4 RW choices who have rejected us? We signed Paco late in August and we are in 8th of June?
And if we are planning to sign a starting RW,I am not sure Vidal is good enough. I mean he can work as a Pedro-esque type of RW but the sample size for him with us is small tbh,I won't blame Valverde if he wants an upgrade.
How did that work for us? We have done such thing with basically Munir and Bojan and both proved to be a mistake and both had much more experience with B team,even Messi didn't play as little with B team before moving to 1st team.
Never mind that this will be an invitation for every kid in La Masia to do the same.
If what we want is a back up,then I am all for that. But it seem more and more that we want a starting caliber RW ,and if this isn't the case I doubt the rumors about Riyad and Dembele is true

^ I agree with your thoughts, I was just theorizing, and it will look stupid to sign a 19yo winger from the bottom of Ligue 1 when our own young winger joins the French champions.
Currently the names look like:
1) Dembele
2) Deulofeu
3) Costa
4) Mahrez
5) Sarr

How is his contract? He seems the kind of player that will force his way out.

Well, the entire Leicester team looked crap as they're heading towards relegation due to Ranieri.
Their current coach, Shakespeare, changed back into the same tactics from 2015-16 season and he, Vardy etc. started to perform really well.
Mahrez is a very good player no doubt IMO.
Well, he's been vocal on this regard as he released a statement for asking Leicester to leave the club recently.
Also, Mahrez spoke about his future in an interview few days ago.
"I made it clear to the chairman that I would stay another year and that he would let me leave.[...] For me, it's time to go. [...] There has been contact from several clubs but I'm still at Leicester so let's see what the future holds"
