Daniel Sturridge didnt exactly set the world alight at City or Chelsea, but when he moved to Liverpool he looked a different prospect altogether when getting a run of games in his favoured position. I think Welbeck could work out the same way for us. Lets be honest what have we got to lose in taking a chance on the lad, he is honest as the day is long and will always put 110% in. Could be a very shrewd signing.

I think Sturridge will struggle this year without Suarez

Ed Winchester

Wellbeck is pure mule lads, let's not kid ourselves. A terrible signing.

There's a barrel of the stuff I break out annually for this day.

Joking aside I would be ok with Welbeck if we sort Dm and cb too.unlikely though.

Even if he does thats nothing got to do with Welbeck. He will have Ozil, Ramsey and Sanchez to work with and Walcott to come back.

salmocab

Welbeck is very uninspiring however he is an upgrade on Sanogo, We really need a CB just to get back to where we were defensively last season numbers wise, if we don't sign a defender then letting Jenkinson out on loan was mental on Wengers part.

Give the lad a chance. He is much better than what we have in Sanogo.

Drexel

Where are our defensive signings!!??

Maybe he is planning on using Welbeck as a DM. Didn't fergie get welbeck to do a man marking job in the CL on someone and he did very well

A goal and assist in 3 games so far. From what I've seen and heard, he's been linking up with Sterling very well, and now he has a new strike partner in Balotelli to take some of the pressure by occupying opposition forwards and vice versa. Scored in most games Suarez didn't play in too?

Hope you lot don't get Welbeck. Not sure if he'll ever be the 20 goal a season guy you's want, but his work rate, pace and movement is good. Pace is something United lack

Twatter has just exploded with Huntelaar to Arsenal, £13M.

Could be absolute garbage.

I'm not seeing it anywhere. I think it's more of a Goal.com/Caught Offside type of story.

I don't rate Welleck as a striker at all. Think he is scraping the bottom of the barrel if I'm honest. Saying that though, he is a huge step up from Sanogo.

Ridiculous that we have three centre backs at the club, and one of them is injured, but we still let Miquel join Norwich.

Wenger's actions in this window really should mean he gets a P45 but as usual he is his own boss so nothing will happen. An FA cup, as nice as it was really doesn't detract enough away from his failings as a manager both in terms of team set up, and transfer activity. I really don't see how he can continue to play Sanogo whilst leaving Podolski on the bench.

brianregan09

I know he's old now but i'd love Huntelaar no **** about him just a pure finisher

Money talks at the end of the day. Man utd were always going to be able attract players , one season out of the champions league wouldn't change that .

Remi, Cerci and Bacca aren't the saviours the media is making them out. Would Cavani have been nice ? Sure would, but PSG don't want to lose players and signing these players is difficult for a number of reasons.

Ozil signing was a great step and it was followed this year by Alexis who had a super year for club and country .

Clubs with the finances of city , Chelsea and utd will of course make big signings and have great teams, but, I think we have a really good, exciting team. Top DM is needed to top it off. Let's hope we can get something done.

No one is listing those players you mentioned as "saviours", they are simply Better and more experienced options than our main striker at this moment in time Sanogo

Trending on Twatter for me at least.

Watch us fcuk this up and sign no one. Wenger will say "we tried".

If we do sign welbeck it'll be for over the odds and basically we'll have funded falcao to UTD.

wonga77

I'd take Huntelaar, would have preferred him about 5 years ago but he could do a job for us

Lads Welbeck > Sanogo simple as that.

He's no world beater but he's better than what we have and better than nobody at all!

He's a English international, he's a premiership proven player and will be far more dangerous then Sanogo.

UnknownSpecies

Well, at least our main striker will have scored a PL goal before. He's pretty quick, might suit us better than United. Just need him to put in a shift until Giroud is back. Very very tough to stay positive about this one though.

That can't be the measure for improvement

Ken Shamrock

I feel sick, literally, welbeck is an upgrade on Sanogo, but not on Sanchez Podolski or Walcott. Give me Huntelaar please.

.jacksparrow.

3 clubs in for welbeck, I don't think we will get him.

brianregan09

On the Huntelaar thing ...Do you think Wenger learned from the BA thing last year and hedging his bets in case one falls though ?

Who knows we could end up with both

Also lads on Carvalho whats the big deal with him all i've seen of him is part of that rubbish Portugal team in the World Cup

NOOO WELBECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha its BS like I said.

Welbeck having no medical.

Welbeck is shít lads don't mind my other arguments.

Sanogo > Welbeck every day of the week. :pac::pac::pac:

omega man

SSN now saying welbeck had no medical.

Ed Winchester

The Sturridge comparisons are ridiculous too. Sturridge scored more goals last year than Wellbeck has scored in his entire career. We don't need another striker who doesn't score goals.

Wrong. That's all I read on multiple sites . Walcott back and when a couple more are up to speed fitness wise , Sanogo won't be a starter and neither would those three.

Moat_Cailin

Time to take a break with some corrie.

Glad we didn't get him.

*Footage is not from a Premier League match so hopefully I won't get sued for posting it.

Multiple sites? Please post where these players are referred to as saviours, I and probably a few others would be interested in this.

Not really. If you read back I made the comparison to before he joined Liverpool where he wasnt playing reguarly and out of position (Man City and Chelsea) where he scored 30 goals in 129 games, Welbeck has very similar stats at Utd where he is also been deployed out of position and not getting a run in the team, 30 goals in 136 games.

brianregan09

I watched the United vs Burnley game the other day and talking with my mate on facebook afterwards this is what i said

wouldn't have Blacklett, Anderson, Johnny Evans, Welbeck or any of them near us


Still not convinced otherwise

Alfred Borden

I cant believe Arsene is leaving us this short. Worse off than this time last year if you include walcotts and girouds injuries.

mosstin

Define 'active'.

It's still pretty early where I am and I'm just up, am I right on thinking we haven't being linked with a defender all day? Sigh
