Everyone going on about Shaqiri, who in my opinion is another Mirallas with a bad attitude. Mentioning Lookman and Shaqiri on the wings. I just want to know, what has Walcott done wrong?

I thought he was one of our best players since he signed, always wanting the ball, always attempting to move it forward, quick skilful with a few goals thrown in.

This is why I think we can make do with what we have on the wing. Lookman and Walcott will do.

The priority for me is a CB and a LB, then if we can a CM.

Fair shout Blue Tommy. Walcott could even go inside alongside Tosun? Either way, a squad needs more than 11 players these days. But I take your point. Walcott was a great signing under Allardyce. (that should get the pigeons fluttering)

Don't think anyone is pushing Walcott down the starting line-up.
Shaq is twice the player Mirrales could ever be but I agree his attitude is a stinker

Lookman is still a baby so if anyone expects him to start 38 games, they should be pointed in the direction of the internet and be forced to read up on the game before embarrassing themselves with waffle and tosh.
He is going to be a star but he will be on the bench for large parts of the season. And frankly he should be buzzing with that. Do you think We only need 2 wingers for an entire season?

Stay clear of Shaqiri lazy and bad attitude.

My two original points were that nobody has mentioned Walcott as an option in the few posts below, and that I don't believe Shaqiri is the answer.

I wasn't suggesting that we have only 2 wingers all season, nor that Lookman can last a whole season (I do however believe he should be given a good run of games to see where he is development-wise) . I just think that this position is less of a priority than others. Bolasie can fill in and do a job when Lookman gets tired (obviously if we sell him we do need a replacement) and we have Vlasic, and even Dowell and Calvert Lewin can do a job out wide if necessary (although not ideal) .

It is going to take 3 or 4 transfer windows to fix us, so we need to look for replacements in the most problematic positions first (for me, CB and LB, followed by CM) . That's not to say that, hypothetically if a loan or transfer for a player like Rashford (who would solve cover out wide and up front) came up we shouldn't go for it, just that it's about prioritising.
