Given we’ve already got Ramsey, Buendia and Roger’s I can’t see Illing Jr on the wing.
Wingback sure, as part of a back five. Makes more sense to me to utilise him left back especially if Moreno and/or Digne leave. 

Yes. I like Jacob Tanswell’s writing but wouldn’t assume he has the inside track on this - unless he has some very good sources.

It's almost like in the team we have seen under emery the signing makes zero sense.

Reece James would be a crazy move. He’s the most injury prone player I can remember in recent times. 

True but when he isn't injured he is one of the best right backs in the world.

Chalobah's brother plays for West Brom

Maatsen is exactly what we need. A pacy, young left back who likes to get forward. Ticks all of the boxes for me. 

And cant defend

Worth a squad place for one of the 'great 8' as people say these days

Last game I watched him made 2 huge errors and lost his team the Champions League final

Won’t be Maatsen unless both Digne and Moreno are off. Would love Lavia. 

Lavia....wow forgot he actually joined Chelsea

Was he ever fit to play

He was incredibly weak when he got game time for Chelsea last season

A physically weak 52 year old  Daley Blind will probably start ahead of him for Netherlands

He’s 20. Had an injury ridden season. Poor guy. 

He went for £50m as a 19 year old, he’s quality and one season on the treatment table doth not maketh a crock.
