The Welbz Thread (official)

[Niall_Quinn]

Because Henry and van Persie were prolific when we signed them.

Well if he becomes prolific between now and the next game, agreed, bonus. We had Bergkamp around when those other lads were finding their feet.

Been saying he's a decent player for ages. But he's not ideal because his finishing is far from prolific and he's as clumsy as Adebayor. Positives are that Wenger's got a couple of forwards in Welbeck and Sanchez who'll press from the front. He's an intelligent player and likes one-touch link up stuff that he probably wasn't suited to at Man Utd. Not sure we can use him as the battering ram that Wenger likes using Giroud for, but he hasn't had a chance in that role yet.

It's a fairly low-risk signing. If it all goes south he's a young, England international forward so the same guys that keep buying Shane Long will sign him for £15m. I don't expect a lot of goals from him but hopefully he's a useful cog in the line up and we can start clicking with good movement in the final third.

Doesn't that all translate to tippy tappy?

The new Thomas Muller.

[Syn]

The Manchester United and England striker wants to play a more central role for club and country. “I’d like to play central,” he said. “I’ve been playing on the left for a while and it’s got to the time where I want to stake a place up front.”

Always been a major fan.

[Marc Overmars]

Always been a major fan.

It's fair to say we all have tbh.

Wonderful signing.

Why did he come here then? We play everyone on the wing.

[LDG]

It's safe to say it's the surprise of the window. Nobody saw it coming.

And by surprise, I mean like rape.

[Niall_Quinn]

So I suppose he'll get injured for the rest of the season playing for England anyway.
