Danny Welbeck £16m... The same price tag as Mario Balotelli. Crazy.

Definitely. Abel Hernandez and Gaston Ramirez are two great signings for them.

16m seems pretty fair for Welbeck, Balotelli was going cheap because hes a nutcase. Ross McCormack and Shane Long both went for 12m, hes better and younger than both of those players.

Lets see with Welbeck, hes a very technically sound player but has no record of scoring goals which is bread and butter for a striker.

Take away the fact that he plays for Man Utd and you may just have another middle of the road English mid table striker.

Tom cleverly not moving. Still a utd player. Sigh

Probably his agent at play. If he stays with Utd until next summer he will get a massive signing on fee and deal from whoever wants him on a free.

In fairness it's not as if he has been playing in a great team with great players. He has looked good last season playing in a shambles of a team and was very good this pre season also. He is quality and it's Utd's loss imo. He will thrive under a manager like Wenger.

Insect Overlord

Just under 1,000 people viewing the forum at the moment. Big night.

Also think welbeck would shine at Arsenal. Decent signing for them, but not one of world class stature that would make them competitive in all competitions. Arsenal's defensive midfield spine is their biggest weakness.

Yep! Didn't see it confirmed so left it out. They'll not be in a relegation battle anyway.

Sandro is a cracking signing for QPR.

£16m is nowhere near a fair price!

We're selling to:
1. A rival that can prevent us from gaining top 4
2. A team in dire need a striker
3. A team who plain out refused to do business with us on Vermaelen

And he's a young Englishman. Surely all of those combined demand a much higher price than £16m...

theoneeyedman

Wellbeck will thrive at arsenal. Very raw but has loads of pace and with santi and ozil pinging tru balls in he'll score lots. He'll miss a few but will score more than giroud

You owe us still from Silvestre

Anyone here know why Micah Richards has gone to Fiorentina ? Surely some English club would have wanted him

Ben Arfa, Ramirez and Diame

Pretty good day for Hull fans.

Some serious pond life out in force on Sky Sports News tonight. Part of me feels sorry for those reporters but the other part of me says good enough for them for creating this hype and day of transfer farce.

ASOT

Arsenal / United should really have signed Sandro.

Point 3 Arsenal didn't point blank refuse, but wanted a swap deal with Smalling.

Great day for Hull, I am just glad they didn't go back in for Rhodes!

On the other point I agree, they created the Circus so it is their own fault when the Clowns turn up!

Danger781

Cleverley staying with United. He wouldn't reduce his wage demands for Villa / Valencia, and Everton only wanted a loan while United were keen to sell.

Sad times. Another few months until he goes on a free anyway.

£16m is a great price for Utd.

Seems to be more of them this year...

And Falcao aside, it's been an overhyped last day.

What is it with fans to start spouting stuff like swear or rude stuff on TV as if they are big men. Its gone a bit embarrassing

Degag

Even though all those fans are idiots, it's Sky's fault for giving them the platform to be idiots. It wouldn't be too hard to do the interviews from an area that the fans can't act the bollix or be heard on microphone.

Harry Palmr

Ramirez to Hull on loan to buy.

kronsington

Sky really need to reconsider the policy of mixing with "fans" outside the grounds for future deadline days. It's pathetic, shambolic, embarrassing and distracting.

Kerrydude1981

The reporter at Arsenal had to move into the stadium,maybe that's the way forward

£16m is a great price for Utd.

His international record for the period where he was starting games as a central striker was 8 goals in 17 games. At international level that is a fantastic return and shows his potential.

Last season, for the brief period he got a consistent run in the team he scored 6 goals in 7 games with two assists. He only started 15 games in the league and still scored 9 goals.

Tell me again how he doesn't score many goals.

imagine if the falcao deal was just a publicity stunt..... :rolleyes:

i'd imagine his medical will have to be pretty stringent given his recent injury.

Alot of money at stake to just push ahead without being absolutely sure.

In 163 appearances for Utd he has 34 goals. £16m for a ~ 1 in 5 striker, lol.

To be fair they asked Premier league clubs for safe areas this year, the clubs don't want them there either.

So why do they do it?
because we the people want them there

Why have Utd strengthened a rival? Stop laughing! Welbeck could be the one who nicks the point that keeps Arsenal in the top four at the expense of his old club

Podolski is a much more useful player. If Welbeck takes his potential minutes it's probably a good thing for Utd.
