Trigger Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Suprised at the different opinions here to be honest. I think Richarlison is one we really just have to wait and see on. I think he definitely has more talent and potential than most of our other wingers. Vlasic has shown nothing to me to make think he's ever going to be more than a solid bottom half of prem player or top Championship level player. Works very hard, Tracks back well, but doesn't really any creativity, invention ability to go by a player going forward. Lookman has all the talent in the world going forward, but is lazy and inconsistent at tracking back and needs to mature in his decision making Bolasie since his injury hasn't been the same force going forward to me, and has never been great tracking back. Walcott is good all round for me and our best winger..... when fully fit. I'd rather be investing in younger potential that still is just on the verge of getting in first team rather than paying £30M to £40m for 28+ year old in their prime that are difficult to move on if they don't perform (e..g. Bolasie, Williams_) whcih according to Fat Sam is what we should be doing! Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re crossing pronouns. The “he” in bold is for Vlasic but it directly follows you talking about Richarlison. In the previous post, “the lad” directly follows a paragraph about Vlasic, but you’re referring to Richarlison. Regardless, my point still stands. Vlasic will likely get used on the wing. Richarlison is a better option on the wing, I agree, but maybe not a 50 million pounds better option and definitely not a 50 million pounds better option than Lookman, who is a natural winger, and who needs game time to develop.

Couldn’t disagree more. Lookman hasn’t been given a decent run in the team and therefore had tried ‘too hard’ in order to keep his place. I believe he’ll be a brilliant player. If you had a nickel for every mistake he made for Everton last season you’d have less than 20 dollars and I’m guessing that won’t make you rich! nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I don’t see how anybody can compare him to anyone. He is 21 and went from a full Brazilian league then strait to the prem. he had a dip. Of course he did. He’s a kid. Like I’ve said before, we bought lookman for £11 mill eighteen months ago.

All the players on the list have pros and cons you can mark against them so its all swings and roundabouts. Overall though I thought Mirallas was the most interesting.
