It's early days, but I thought Alysson seemed to be better suited to the EPL and the way we play than both Sancho and Bailey. If you look at the teams UE plays, he does not seem to favour an out-and-out winger, preferring a more physical and versatile player (if he wanted out-and-out wingers I think we'd have had Kadan Young in the squad, and possibly Ben Broggio, rather than being loaned out).
Rogers is the obvious exemplar (and Diaby was also a version of what EU wants as a 'wide' player - someone who doesn't always play wide). He tried it with Guessand, he's now got Alysson. That is the way we'll go, I'm guessing - and, yes, if we had Bowen he would fit the archetype perfectly. Jimoh-Aloba might also fit the model of 'winger' in Emeryworld.
