I dunno if I was unclear, but yes playing with width is the most basic way to vary your play, and allows you to come inside if you want, as it will be open. I am for us getting in a real wide player. I was going to mention valencia in my original post ... he is as one footed as kolarov, and has 2 speeds, walking and sprinting. But he is a danger out wide, and can ping in a decent ball. Improve them no end and allows them to do whatever else they want to do on the field. I did want to keep them out of it, though.
Who do you reckon was the last true wide man that we've actually had, and who was the last one we had that could actually cross? Guess it was petrov? wasn't that long ago. I don't want to open that can of worms but I don't remember him being that great of a crosser.
Anyhow, it would help stop teams just setting up a block of 10 in the middle infront of their box.
Kennedy was the last true winger who could beat a man, get to the byline and stick a really dangerous cross in - one of the best i've ever seen at the art to be honest.
