The Welbz Thread (official)

I tend to think the Sturridge comparison is slightly lazy. Sturridge was unfortunate to find himself at 2 petro dollar clubs with a plethora of forwards. Sturridge was always a fantastic finisher. Even Drogba said he was the best finisher at Chelsea when he was there and I didn't think that was far fetched at the the time. Sometimes finishing alone is not enough, which is precisely why Giroud players over Podolski in attack.

Welbecks' finishing is no where near as polished or natural as Sturridge's but he does has his strengths even if Sturridge, he is not. He is more closely compared to Andy Cole, who had a knack for making the runs, but not a knack for making a whole in one.

They're both blackish and they're both English. How much more similar can you get?!

I feel more inclined to compare Welbeck and Sterling, they clearly both go to their barber and ask for the MC Hammer

I don't think Welbeck has 7 kids to 8 different mothers though tbf.

Is that an exaggerated claim about Radio Raheem or is that actually the truth?

I thought he had a solid debut, real shame he didn't put away his chance, nice idea to chip Hart too.

I like the way he held the ball up and he is strong and pretty technical too. I think he could turn out to be a pretty decent signing.

I don't think there's any particular issue with his general game, the issue with Wellbeck has always been his ability to put the ball in the net, I didn't see the match but it kinda sounds like he missed a good chance at the weekend which is his achilles heel.
