The Welbz Thread (official)

Arteta or flamini have to be there in place of wilshere. They are far from the ideal option bit they are at least disciplined enough to sacrifice for the team, wilshere isn't.

Agreed, we need Arteta/Flamini for balance. Ramsey and Wilshere should be competing for the same spot until one of them inevitably gets injured for 6 months and makes the decision for us.

Doesn't make any sense for Arteta or Flamini to start in that formation, it would kill the counter attack. It would be the wider men in the three that would be expected to drop back while Ramsey and Wilshere moved centrally when we were defending. Arteta and Flamini would be okay defensively but we'd lose the attacking purpose of the formation going forward (at speed). Maybe Arteta could do it (don't think so really) but certainly not Flamini. Face it, he's cover for the defence this year anyway.

Me too, I like his workrate and his pace. He is obviously still quite raw but the potential is there. He could turn out to be a decent signing!

We've worked with worse! In my opinion, Welbeck's technique looks better than Adebayor's ever was for us, and his work-rate and attitude are on another level completely - if we somehow managed to get 30 goals out of Ade in a single season, then I don't see why we shouldn't be quietly confident about Welbeck breaking the 20 barrier on a regular basis, and maybe even getting more on a good year?

And compared to what we currently have in Sanogo, who doesn't even look like a footballer, then he's an infinite improvement!

Certainly should play pub teams at Emirates with this line up & drop the need for a DM. At home against the pub teams the ball spends 80% of its time in their half, this is where you need your players.
As I think Sanch has better work rate, I'd play Rambo on his side of midfield allowing him a bit more freedom to make his forward runs. So its a simple swap of Rambo & Jack for me.

[Master Splinter]

He'll do just fine for us. Extra motivation for him being a Manc to ruin City next week as well on his debut.

Fair to say we all secretly rated him anyway but only poked fun because he didn't play for us.

He has motivation to do extra well against Citeh, Liverpool and United.

Stunning foresight from Wemger.

Also, I don't recall ever laughing at our Danny.

[Master Splinter]

Agreed, he'll fit right in.

I figured this out - he's not Sanogo, it isn't my money being spent, he's still got about 60 days credit with the media while the Utd AFFECT wears off, he's not Sanogo but most importantly he's not Sanogo.

So in the end, good signing.

I think people may also be forgetting the fact he's not Sanogo.

You said affect instead of effect.

What a retard .

Of course, I always rated him.

That's I coined the phrase 'Danny Welgood'

Because he's well good.

Isn't it our normal formation?
