The Welbz Thread (official)

[Bumble]

On the plus side though, as opposed to the Sanchez and Ozil signings where we expected fireworks. With Welbeck we just hope he can kick a ball straight and a control ball. So it is a pretty low base to begin. It also means we can stop the competition winner playing up front experiment.

Sanchez, Walcott, Welbeck and the Ox adds pace with Ozil just behind with the paces and Ramsey popping in the box with this lung bursting runs.

Although Wenger has obviously given up the idea of being defensive... did it for acouple of seasons and now he has got bored. Debuchy, Mert, Kos, Chambers, Gibbs and Monreal with any first team experience. Should really recall Jenks.

van Nistelrooy is a shit defender.

All this nonsense about Wellbeck and Sturridge is precisely that, at Bolton he showed he could score goals, Wellbeck has just shown he can miss chances.

Awful signing and pretty much everyone on here would have said the same before we somehow ended up with him, Man U must be laughing behind our backs at this deal, they sign a top class forward for peanuts whilst we give them an extra 10 million on top for a guy who can't score for toffee and who they'd have had trouble getting rid of for 5 million never mind 16.

We look like mugs right now sadly, Hernandez would have been a much better bet, we've signed the new Emile Heskey a player who gets picked for England based on some fantasy idea that he's actually any good.

He's not my first choice and I am not exactly excited about this signing but he is here now so I wish him well.

I did actually quite like the look of him when he first broke on the scene but his development has stalled IMO.

I think the potential is there but I don't think he will develop into anything more than a decent PL player who will bag 15 goals a season max.

I think it's crucial he is played through the middle as he is no use to us on the wings.

I would say he is at Giroud level, he's not really an upgrade, he just offers something different.

[GP]

He's not one to get excited about but he's better than Sanogo, surely?

The fact Utd fans are upset about it gives me some hope, at least.

I'd actually take the Falcao deal falling through if it meant Welbeck stayed.

Thats all that needs to be said. Now button it know-nothings.

Yep, on Podolski and another 42 on Ozil.

Welbeck is a bargain compared to those two.
