Manquillo of RB/RWB?

He is okay as a RB (defensive in nature, like most Spanish RBs), but no where near good enough in attack.. and a WB needs that to excel.. Same goes for Flanagan, though Manquillo has a bigger upside as a RB, IMO.. I think both Wisdom and Ilori are both capable of playing as the RCB in this 3 man back, though Wisdom has fallen out of favor w/Pulis as a RB at WBA and Ilori has been injured a lot of this season at Bordeaux..

Borini only if there's a proven replacement for him which I'm not sure Ings truly is. I'd consider the economics of that (wages and fees).

I think their talents and upside are about on par... If we can get anywhere close to the £14mm that Sunderland offered us for him, with the price of Ings being £3-4mm (on top of it, he's home grown)... I'd take that deal everyday. I think its clear that Borini is NOT in BRs plans moving forward..

The one wildcard I'll throw out there for a fourth striker is Jerome Sinclair, though he probably needs at least a season on loan... He's been a standout for the U21s..

edit: And to be clear, I don't really care one way or another if we sign Ings. I think he would be a good, home grown, squad player at a good price.. I'd rather Berahino, if talking young and home grown, but he would command a fee that I don't know he's worth...
