Not going to respond to the whole post as you are talking rubbish. I will just point out a few massive holes in you logic though.

Cleverley, Smalling, Jones had Premiership experience before getting there chances. Evans had to do his education with the team and on Loan. So doubt Zaha will stroll into the first team

Valencia was the best winger in the league last season by a country mile so writing him off is just stupid. Young at Villa was constantly in the top 3 for assists.

Why you bother mentioning other players in a Wingers thread is beyond me!!!.

Bebe will be sold. SImple.

Absolute rubbish. The point at which you claimed that Valencia was the league's best winger last season was the point at which your credibility took a steeper dive than Valencia's form.

Giggs not a winger???

hes been alot better than nani, young and valencia and we all no that we cant play him in the middle anymore so the wings are his best bet

I am shocked at the basic knowledge of football in this forum.

y wat do you not agree with

WRainey Jr.:

We need a Beckham type winger/flanker... unfortunately, I can't name one player, in european leagues that can cross, pass, and hug the line like him. I do hope Zaha can develop like Bale and Ronaldo though, if given proper guidance, he can.

thats the thing with ronnie/beckham type players their unique

Here's how I see the situation with our wingers.

NANI: Still has match winning ability and the quickest feet in the league

VALENCIA: If he remains, it should be as a right back because he clearly - from the consistently poor performances he has shown this year - is not an effective winger. I'd rather sell him. I'd be surprised if we were offered anything over £10m.

YOUNG: Should be kept as a backup winger, and for experience in big matches.

ZAHA: Should be given multiple chances to excel next season, in the same way that Cleverly / Smalling / Jones and Evans have all been given games.

BEBE: If he continues the recent upward trajectory, then I think he could offer us something new next season. Almost like a 'new' signing.

GIGGS / WELBECK: Not wingers, but could be used as stopgaps. We SHOULD have four good wingers next season though, meaning Giggs and Danny can be used in their actual positions.

CLEVERLEY / KAGAWA: Not fast enough to play out wide, but could be used as the two central players in a midfield diamond in some big games.

...

...

I feel that if Nani and Young are retained, and if Zaha AND Bebe are brought in, then we will have two experienced wingers and two younger ones - with pace, strength and tricks. hat would put us in a position to spend REALLY BIG on either a CM, a CB or both.

He showed last year that he can be an absolutely outstanding winger, but of course, just because he's been poor this year means he'll always be poor. If he returns to his brilliant best next year, which is fairly likely considering how consistently good he's been for us before this season, then what's the point of putting him at right back?

With the additon of Zaha, I can't see Nani being here next season. Having said that, if we get rid of Nani we'll lack flair out wide unless Zaha gets a run of games to showcase his talent. Hopefully he has a good pre season. Who knows, he could find himself in the starting line-up if he impresses.

Next season I'd like to see Welbeck and Zaha operating on the wings. Imo, they'd bring a lot speed, strength, flair and creaviity to the side.

hows bebe doing at Rio Ave ? anyone been watching his performance's ?

Would have thought Zaha been brought in was virtually the end of Nani
