The Welbz Thread (official)

[BOBN]

People don't need to be told though, do they? They need to be able to have their own opinion just like you have yours and then everyone can agree to disagree if need be. This isn't an exam with a score at the end, it's an opinions forum.

No, never. People will never be able to write off an 8-figure signing made by an experienced manager like Wenger without having their thoughts and feelings trampled on.

Its thick, end of.

Trample away, but telling people they don't have a right to an opinion is an entirely different thing.

The same people underrating and slating Welbeck are pretty much the same who said Theo was shit or still believe we can compete for the like of Falcao or Cavani in a typical bidding war.

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.

Ok they can have an opinion but its an utterly worthless opinion.

But I will retract that statement if those who say weve wasted 16m can demonstrate why they dare to believe they are in a better position to judge a player than Wenger and his staff.

I dont mind people saying they dont believe he'll do too well, or theyre underwhelmed. But "16m wasted" before hes kicked a ball? Cretinous tbh.

I think he has the potential to, in the next few months, offer us something we haven't had in a while. When players like Ian Wright didn't even play in the PL until 26-27, I think it's crazy to right off players who have been played out of position and still provided at top clubs at the age of 23!

I'm actually excited about this signing, as he's a lot of what we don't have, he's british, we got one over spurs by signing him and united fans and former united employees are distraught that he's left. Combine that with the fact that if he crashes and burns we can flog him to Fulham for pretty much the same price we bought him for. Win win win win...

And it keeps Sanogo one step further from a starting position. Unless Wenger decides to play Welbeck wide and leave Sanogo in the middle. I'll piss myself laughing if that happens and then call an ambulance for Arsene.

I wouldn't put it past Arsene!

Yes, I think he has the potential to offer us something different to what Giroud and Sanogo and he damn well should.

Would never have been my first choice and I think we’ll still struggle in tight games if his control and finishing aren’t up to par. But he has the work rate and pace so he’ll get chances and create chances for others.

Shouldn't we have our own GHELish name for him, rather than using theirs?
