I doubt anyone would want Soucek but I also think most would swap Alcaraz for him given the chance.
Moyes would want Soucek. Don't be under any illusions about that.

Yeah sorry I thought that was a given, I meant supporters. No doubt Moyes would want him here.

To sign players the CLUB want. Might be for now or for the future.
But to have a plan looking further than the next game.

So to some extent, yes.

Wan Bissaka
Soucek
Bowen

I'd be happy with Wan Bissaka at RB, providing we buy an Antonee Robinson type to overlap Grealish. We'll never play with 2 attacking full backs and Wan Bissaka is pretty much exactly what Moyes will want at RB (obviously he signed him so that's not an earth shattering prediction).

I'd have Bowen over Grealish, especially as this means Ndaiye stays on the left.

I doubt anyone would want Soucek but I also think most would swap Alcaraz for him given the chance.
If we’re going to have an attacking FB on one side and a more defensive type on the other I don’t see the point in buying Wan Bissaka, we might as well keep Myko & buy an attacking RB. We might spend on two first choice FB’s but I can’t see it tbh

Buying an attacking RB wouldn't resolve the issue of Grealish having no one overlapping him though.

If you're going to unlock Grealish then having an attacking LB is non negotiable imo.

Agreed.

We desperately need someone who can play in all the space Grealish inevitably creates.

There’s a whole bunch of creative potential to be realized there.

Also having someone overlapping means they can't double up easily on Jack without leaving the full back free... Absolutely has to happen if we do intend on keeping him.

Has it been confirmed Grealish is staying?

Wouldn't it just be easier to pass on grealish unless we get a spectacularly good deal

I think he will go a big team unfortunately. He is a fantastic defender!
