The Welbz Thread (official)

[Niall_Quinn]

Utd fans are doing a GW at the moment. From being pissed he left they are now very happy because he is shit anyway and was crap as a striker and was never going to cut it and will never be as good as Falcao who lied about his age and is really 30 and is always crocked and is escaping to Madrid the first chance he gets.

I'm glad I don't do transfers because I'd fuck it up terribly in the heat of the moment and then have to hide once realisation dawned. I think it'd be great to have Falcao up front this season and he's undoubtedly reached a higher level than Welbeck, but come next year I imagine Welbeck will still be here with Falcoa long gone or dead of old age. We got the better deal.

Course, there are worse ways to spend £50m...

Still think Sterling should have got on the end of that cross. Did he shin the first one? Hard to tell for sure.

Doubt there has been another 2 goal performance where the media has dwelt so heavily on a supposedly poor cross and an almost impossible to determine shin. If this game had happened two weeks earlier I wonder what the headlines and analysis would be today? As it stands, Cross and Holt have Rooney as MOTM. That ball by Rooney to Sterling is described as "a blizzard of passing" by one hack. Say he'd missed those two, like Rooney missed his chances. Can you imagine? The biggest joke though - talk is now of whether it should be Welbeck or Sturridge up top. Rooney is a given. This is why the outcome will be the same in 2016. We'll spend 2 years trying to prop an ageing Rooney up instead of building a new team.

Just like the old classic: "Too many foreigners in da game innit?", England's failings must be the fault of everybody else but the English.

On Welbo: Personally I'm in the cautiously optimistic boat. Of course he's not the name everybody wanted, and without the injury to Giroud this signing doesn't happen at all. That said, Welbo is not a stopgap signing, rather Wenger seems to have plumped for another project, shorter-term than Sanogo but still with an eye on a season or two down the line, I wouldn't expect a mass of goals from him this season.

Loic Remy and Welbo might on the surface have appeared to be 2 broadly equivalent signings but the age is the key difference. Remy would have been a stopgap, he's arguably the better player now, but in 2 years time if Welbo can develop, probably not.

Still feels weird though, some players you can imagine in the shirt.

Yeah, maybe Welbeck wasn't the big-name striker that we were all hoping for, but I have to say that, since signing for us, it has been really satisfying watching him blossom into the prolific striker that we see before us today - when you think back to that inconsistent kid who first joined us, he's almost unrecognisable as a player now. Nice one Arsene!

I'm also kind of glad we didn't go for Remy - there's always been something I've never really warmed to about him, although I'm not entirely sure what it is? Luckily I don't have to figure it out any more, because he's a Ch***a c**t, and that's all the reason required to hate his stupid face...

Also Wayne Rooney to Notts County.

That's some top reporting, right there.

Have a feeling this is the prelude to him taking the England job when his contract runs down. All the timings are right. One final suicidal mission for the old dog. Imagine if he bowed out by winning the world cup and trumped them all. Maureen

Actually this has to happen.
