Welbeck hits the post against Citeh and it's 'Wayward Welbeck' from McNumpty: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29192068.

Scores a hat-trick in the CL and not a peep from McLOLty. He was reporting on the game too.

Not that you should be posting one of your rubbish, uninformative, pointless articles after every game. But you can't criticise a guy for narrowly missing the target one week and then fail to highlight his excellence another. Journalism .

Any Utd meltdown's after Welbz tonked it?

Seriously massive. Welbz thread on cafe is split into three camps. The "He's still shit and Falcao will score eventually" camp, the "told you we should never have sold him, especially to Arsenal, and so what if I cheer his goals" camp, and the "come on guys, can we all just be friends" cunts.

There's also a 4th "Welbeck forced the move and we had no choice but to let him go" camp, which absolves them of any kind of responsibility for anything, even having an opinion...

I'm not quite comfortable with singing....'he scores when he wants'.....but happy to see him go from strength to strength and to see fans get on his side considering the hysteria at the prospect of signing him shortly before we did.

Watching one of those player highlight vids on youtube, Welbeck's performance really was as close to a 10/10 complete CF performance that you could get. Won't be particularly memorable because although it was against CL opposition, Galatasary were very disorganised. When asked about if he had learned anything new about Welbeck since he joined, Wenger said he was surprised by his finishing ability, his technical ability and his pace. I'd add movement to that. He didn't get played much as a CF at Man Utd but the movement and runs he is making shows a real striker's instinct. In every aspect really - his touch, pace, strength...he's showing greater potential than he did at Man Utd. And that's not just down to biased opinions - Welbeck's using the momentum of joining a new club and the confidence of playing regularly in his favoured position.

Since the move, he has got 2 goals for England, 4 goals in 5 games for Arsenal (hit the inside of the post against Man City too) and his general game looks very good. The most exciting thing about it is that because he's surprising people with his technique and athleticism, we're yet to be able to judge what his ceiling is. Obviously he still has it all to do but the early indication is he's ready to become a top player.

Wenger will soon train that out of him or our staff will cripple him , perhaps Wenger try playing players in their best positions and get a few more surprises?

Well this is going to go down well...
