Won't be the case once Calafiori is back in the team. We're asking Martinelli to stay wide because the LB doesn't go forward and provide width when it's Timber, Kiwior, or Zinchenko. Though I think Timber has potential to become apt at it over time. Cala does go forward so it'll be more like the White-Saka dynamic. Same with the LCM spot, if Merino can make that spot his (or we sign someone else) he'll drift to the left to provide width when the shape demands it also.We need a left footed left winger, not a right footer.
The use of Martinelli as a stay wide winger is a misuse, we shouldn't be planning based on that. And there aren't really any elite left-footed LWs anymore, everyone inverts to be goal scoring threats.
