I had hopes that he'd turn into a good striker when I heard we first signed him. He has the physical attributes for it. But those hopes disappeared after watching his first run of games up front for us. His movement around the box is worse than Giroud's. Easy to mark out of the game and isolate. Zero intelligence when it comes to movement.
He can't strike a ball properly and gets his footing all wrong when in on goal. It's one thing looking inconsistent and rusty in front of goal, but Welbeck looks as though he has never leaned how to finish properly which makes him a blunt knife up front. Garbage player.
