The Welbz Thread (official)

[I am invisible]

Van Gaal showing what a tiny "man" he is. Fergie was the enemy, but you could never imagine him stooping to the level of this pygmy.

Sounds like someone's strainin' to do some expalinin' to the OT faithful to me! Whatever though, Louis - you're only making yourself look small-minded and petty there, and a little bit silly too, in comparing Welbeck's scoring record to that of van Persie/Rooney/Falcao, when it's pretty widely accepted that he's never really been given a proper run as a CF in his time at Man U (and wasn't even guaranteed a starting place in any other role either)?

I'm sure Welbeck won't give too much of a shit either, if some old bloke that he's worked with for a matter of weeks doesn't rate him - when you look at the outpouring of opinion from other current and former players, team mates and coaches, you have to say that van Gaal's opinion falls in the vast, vast minority. As you say, he should just pin it to wall, use it for motivation, and live for the day when you can ram it down his throat...
