United have just given £275k per week to someone who's had 3 ACL injuries. Let that sink in for a minute...

If Fergie were in charge, Welbeck would have never gone to us, but I'm not yet convinced LVG knows what he's doing yet.

Fergie wouldn’t have sold him to a us but may have sold him to one of his coaching buddies like he’s done in the past. From what I’ve seen of Welbeck, he’s nothing special and I don’t think he’d have been a Man Utd great even if Fergie was there. That’s not to say we can’t get more out of him. He has the work rate and he has the pace, so he should be fine coming for the ball deep to link up play and also getting beyond defenders. It’s the striking he’ll need to work on but that’s an area Wenger is really good on fixing.
