For me, he's a better goal-scorer than both of them, but I'm not sure I'd say that he's so much better that he could win them the league? For us, on the other hand, the gain will be how much of an upgrade Danny Welbeck is on Yaya Sanogo (a striker so shit that he doesn't even have a goal-scoring record yet!), so I think we're looking at making potentially bigger strides as a team from our signing, even though, player-for-player, Welbeck isn't in Falcao's league (yet ;) )


Fair play to you then mate, if you've rated him for some time - you may exclude yourself from that bewildered minority / majority that I was talking about, who have had to take a crash-course in Danny Welbeck this last week :good:

Don't get me wrong... I've rated him for a while (a few others, syn and marc overmars I think, vocally did too) but I don't think he is away beyond the level he has proved so far and his scoring record often made my liking for him look sheepish. We will see what he can do with a run of games though....

I tend to think the Sturridge comparison is slightly lazy. Sturridge was unfortunate to find himself at 2 petro dollar clubs with a plethora of forwards. Sturridge was always a fantastic finisher. Even Drogba said he was the best finisher at Chelsea when he was there and I didn't think that was far fetched at the the time. Sometimes finishing alone is not enough, which is precisely why Giroud players over Podolski in attack.

Welbecks' finishing is no where near as polished or natural as Sturridge's but he does has his strengths even if Sturridge, he is not. He is more closely compared to Andy Cole, who had a knack for making the runs, but not a knack for making a whole in one.

They're both blackish and they're both English. How much more similar can you get?!

I feel more inclined to compare Welbeck and Sterling, they clearly both go to their barber and ask for the MC Hammer
