as in knock it 5m ahead and sprint past? the difference between them is that the current two use pace and skill to get past a defender.
They are a significant upgrade imo, the confirmation will come when we promote, I am assuming they stay of course.

I don’t think we have enough proof that they are a “significant upgrade” playing in a division lower.
I suspect they will have some tougher times if/when we go up. Then we’ll see.

maybe, maybe not, but the point is, they don’t appear to be one trick ponies.

With respect, Barnes has proven himself at a much higher level than either of the current wingers.
Definitely true. But I think it's fair to say that our current pair are very good signings for this season. ( imagine if we didn't have them, would we be pissing the league?)

Of course he has. He's had some phenomenal games in the PL. Of course, he doesn't play for us now so he's completely shit and was never any good at beating anybody, ever.

Having one trick and being unstoppable at it is the benchmark of being a really excellent premier league player IMO.
No one could sprint and find gaps in the same way Vardy did
Trippier has the best free kicks of any right back
Berbatov scored ridiculous goals
Tim Cahill ghosted in.
Just a thought.

How many of them were wingers?
You’re going back 20 + years as well, not a great success rate of one trick ponies . ( not that I think your selection were/are one trick ponies )

Blimey I suppose I am going back 20 years. Point still stands though. You have to be “the best” at something to really make it.
