Not irrelevant at all because the media are the driving force behind this idea Welbeck can't finish. We didn't hear a word about it from them before the transfer. Listening to Utd fans, one minute they are gutted he has left, then they slowly move to the view he's no good anyway. That hateful coward van Gaal then pitches in with his Manchester Utd "standard" bullshit.
This is a kid who just got both the goals in what will probably be England's toughest qualifier - when the spotloght was bang on him. How's that for composure? Point proved. The media would still be gushing if he was still at Utd. Instead they mention he's kept his Utd wash bag. It's comedy.
Looks at where the media focus is - Ozil, Welbeck, Wilshere - all with big question marks attached.
Rooney the fraud - MOTM.
If we are to do any serious analysis then the media bullshit has to be filtered out. It may be irrelevant but it's at the heart of all the bullshit and the fuel for all these myths.
