Quite possibly your worst suggestion ever since advocating for replacing Wenger with Owen Coyle.

He's past it. His hamstrings and his enthusiasm for the game have gone. Wenger woz right.

The whole Welbeck situation is very weird.

He was only meant to be out for a few weeks initially before it spiralled into the ridicolous situation it is now where he probably won't play football for the best part of 16 months if he's lucky, with very vague medical reasons given for his abscense.

Don't want to start some "Rosicky a drug addict" type conspiracy here but it wouldn't suprise me if there's more to it than a simple physical injury.
