None of which are wingers, even Magaye was a striker before he came. We have two wingers in eth squad, OViedo and Miralles.

After watching Fellaini play as well as he has this year behind the striker I'm surprised people still think he's better playing deeper.
Oviedo's primarily a full back like.
The fact is while I understand there's differences between wingers, wide midfielders and wide forwards, they still play in the same position in the team. Xavi, McCann and Gerrard are very different players but you still can only have three of them on the pitch at the same time.
We're gone out in the last four months and bought four players who occupy the same place in the team as Landon does. Pienaar and Mirallas for the first team and Oviedo and Naismith for cover. Our need for Donovan is at pretty much the lowest it's ever been.
Personally if I was ranking the five of them, Landon would be third. But we've seen so little of Oviedo and Naismith that it's almost unfair to do so.
Isnt it nice to be arguing over how many wingers we have, this time last year im sure there was a thread on Mcfads Vs Osman.

Still haven't signed an actual right winger then?
We dont play with wingers mate, we play with inside forwards. Our width comes from our full backs. Just saying is all.
Super fan me.
Mirallas has done well enough there that I'm not complaining.
Like I said for the first time in about ten years I don't think Donovan would make our best XI.

Define winger...
Think he would tbf mate.
Who do you drop from our attacking four? Pienaar, Jelavic, Fellaini or Mirallas?
Prob Osman, Coleman has played on the right this season as well. Quality goes into the team.

Our width come from channel balls from Neville. Duh.
And shuffle Fellaini back?
Six months ago I might have agreed with you but I think we'd miss him up top, I really would.
Maybe so i like him there myself, but i think we could do a Ya Ya on it i.e. play deep and if we are hunting push him up - i think he may have to soon, i can see teams in the future doubling up on him to take him out of the game especially whe it comes to aerial balls and set peices.
The one massive dimension to our game that has been added this season is pace - The majority of our goals have come as a result of getting in behind - Donovan only adds to that. Remember knocking endless balls in the box for Cahill or trying to breakdown two deep banks of four with no pace. Im surprised people havnt mentioned it more - the pace in the side gives us a massive new dimension and really has added to what was good that was already there.
TBH mate if we had a front 4 of Nicko, in front of Pienaar, Belg Kev, Donavon would be awsome with Baines, Coleman, Mofro coming from deep for the second phase. I wouldnt complain.
