Samuel Iling Junior - on loan to Bologna

[Risso]

He is closer to a striker than a left back in my opinion.

He's also listed as a forward for England U21s.

All the "well, he'll come back and be cover for Maatsen when we sell Digne" takes are bizarre. He's a wide forward.

He seems to have flitted between left of midfield and left wing. Two years ago it was more of the former, last season it was more of the latter. So sort of a mix of Jacob Ramsey and a left sided Leon Bailey. And about as likely to play at left back as either of them.

Exactly. I'm pretty sure we had a couple of half-hour spells in the second half of last season when we were chasing games where Bailey filled in at right wing-back while Konsa moved back into the middle when Cash was out.

It doesn't mean that suddenly Bailey is now our auxiliary right-back.

Yeah, I've found that strange as well. Emery likes to have 1 'real' (as in someone who holds their width off the ball) wide player and has used Bailey for that mostly but with Philogene coming back and Iling-Junior joining he's clearly adding more options for it, then McGinn, JJ, Rogers and Buendia are all good for his other wing where he likes to give them a bit more freedom to drift and find gaps (and the fullback offers the width instead).

Injury time too ftw (well, for the draw...).

[VILLA MOLE]

was he playing on the right for them
 ?

[eamonn]

Looked like it but cutting-in on his left which I guess is de rigeur these days.

[stevo_st]

Think it was where he played for the u21s as well

Former Wolves star (sic) Patrick Cutrone starring at the other end for Como as well.

He was on the left at an earlier point in the highlights package.

I knew the name was familiar but I couldn't work out why.
