Whatever any of us thought about the possibility of signing him before this, be that positive or negative, he's an Arsenal player now and so we should cheer him when he plays.
Good luck, Danny

I'm just happy to see a total different option up front to get me excited and interested in games again. As long as Wenger plays him through the middle, I'm happy. Keep Giroud and Sanogo on the bench.

I expect the club to work on building Welbeck's strengths just like they did Adebayor and Giroud (and Sanogo, apparently). Wenger wants a strong physical presence upfront. Personally I would've given Walcott a chance, and if Welbeck doesn't impress then maybe be still might.
Yes, I've noticed the trend with the strikers. Welbeck is a tall lad and may be able to hold up the ball better and at least he's quick. I still feel Sanchez should have been given more games up front and feel it's more of a positional and movement problem rather than being physically able to hold up the ball. He's a battler with a great control. But is it worth turning a player like Sanchez into a striker because we're weak in that area?
Also, I have a feeling Theo will be on his way out of the club soon. He's out of contract soon. Will have a year left by the end of this season. I think Sanchez is his replacement. Also, Theo has to feel some sort of way about Wenger bringing in Welbeck whose less prolific but was in similar position at Manure. A striker playing out wide that wants a chance up front. Welbeck getting a chance before him may sting a little.
Funny, I was thinking that too. But then again, if he can find his feet quickly and we can get that front line firing and Wenger can get a bit more adventurous with his formation then there's a place for him. I'm also wondering if the FA and Wenger have something cooking. There has been a concerted effort of late to bring British (particularly English) players in and keep them at the club. It reminds me of Utd a couple of decades back. Is Arsene laying the ground for his next job once his contract here is up? Just a feeling I get.Also, I have a feeling Theo will be on his way out of the club soon.

Injured training with England today
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Trying to endear himself to the fans by learning the Arsenal way. Bless him.
People die every day.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Where would Theo go?
City would buy him for sure. Although not upfront.
