Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[Özim]

He hasn't played in his preferred position for a proper run of games.

Give that to him and he'll come good I believe.

I doubt he will either because in reality he's not good enough and his finishing isn't up to scratch, if you're going to play up front you need to take your chance when you get it and score goals, he just doesn't and so I see no future with him as a striker.

He never got his chance at Man U and won't get it with us, there's a reason he never established himself up front for Man U they never felt he was prolific enough and I've seen nothing to suggest different since he moved to us.

Fair enough. You're entitled to your opinion.

However, I trust both Fergie's and Wenger's opinion on Welbeck ahead of yours. Fergie clearly saw something in him and so did Wenger - he still does.

Welbeck is a good squad player and that's it. He had a good run upfront last season and didn't set the world alight. He's lucky he got that long because at most big clubs he'd get a game or two maximum. We've passed this development stage of waiting for people to come good. If we want to push on we have to join the rest of the soulless, mercenary clubs and buy in players that are ready to go.

I think his goal tally for us last season was an embarrassment frankly

Eight goals? That's two million a goal so far, and putting it really into perspective he scored a hat trick so only scored in six fixtures.

[Munchies]

At least with Welbeck, if he does get sold, we'd get the majority of the £16m back

Walcott has done nothing to warrant the new upgraded deal. He was injured for 18 months and has probably only had one good season with us.

Guess Wenger won't be signing another striker

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbz was worth it for the Old Trafford win tbf.

He can Sanogo it from now on if he wishes.

His goal tally was bad but he did play a lot of games on the wing and it's not easy to get goals from there.

He really should have made his case to play up front but he looks lost in the middle. He isn't a physical presence or someone that can link up play like Giroud and his movement is really bad. He's got pace but we can't use it because he has no idea how or when to make runs like Theo. Reminds me of when Podolski would get games for us. Just looked lost. The fact that he hasn't featured at all in our previous season prep is a blow for him as well. I was hoping he'd at least get up to speed with our game and improve.

He's got an up hill battle for next season. Wenger gave him a lot of games over Theo and that won't happen this year.

Akpom to Hull on loan.

I'll throw myself under a bus if we sign Sergio Biscuits.

And how much do you think Theo is worth in an open market? A packet of peanuts. He has his faults and is far from perfect but I don't get why some fail to see/acknowledge his qualities and value.
