Surprised by Welbeck quick forward player who provides width. We have a bucket load of those already.

Where's the defensive cover ?

Wait till you see who we get in january

.jacksparrow.

Welbeck scored 2 goals in 40 appearances a few seasons ago.

Exactly what we need.

Totally unimpressed.
Feck off Wenger. Troll.

So you're saying he's better than Sanogo then?!

Lads it's welbeck or nothing. I'll take it at this stage.

Not that I'm happy with the signing, but I've always thought welbeck was a half decent player, not as bad as his reputation suggests. Not exactly the signing up front that was needed but its not a complete disaster, like having sanogo up front all year. Still though, it's wengers fault that he's been put into this position, a striker should have been signed a long time ago. Giroud luckily stayed fit all year last year, and this even goes back to when rvp was at the club. One injury from him and bendtner was in the team.

I just don't understand the thinking here, why spend 35m on Sanchez and ignore the other glaringly obvious holes in the team.

I woul prefer nothing to Welbeck, such a poor signing. All i does is stunt the progress of Sanogo and Campbell

king Henry 14

Well there it is. We sell united our best striker and two years later we replace him with a united cast off. Man City got some of our top players, Chelsea have fabregas now and wenger is going around with cap in hand looking for spare change from the top teams.really pathetic effort from wenger. I despair, I really do.

Hello Arsene. I thought you were in Rome?!

Honestly think Arsenal should test United's resolve with a bid for Mata. I reckon he's going to be the odd man out, isn't a Van Gaal type of player and would offer a hell of a lot more than Wellbeck.

Mata is the last thing we need!!!!

.jacksparrow.

Yes folks it's true.

Daniel welbeck.

Soups123

If he was backing Giroud and then Sanchez in time then I'll tolerate Welbeck as a stop gap.

I can't tolerate his failure to sign defensive cover , the man is holding the club back or playing sock puppet for the owner which is just as bad

DenMan

Wenger will get the best out of Welbeck imo! He'll score goals that our brilliant midfield will help set up! Walcott is back soon too! They'll have a great understanding! Great for England too! And people say we don't support the England team! Chamberlain, Wilshere and Chambers too! We're the future for England imo!

@Arsenal Reus, impossible, but @GuiIIemBalague: "Gundogan have reached an agreement. Subject to medical and personal terms. Around £25 M".

Would prefer Welbeck to Mata to be fair

Welbeck has to prove himself at Arsenal, you can see here and over there. He's exactly a signing that's won many over.

Please please tell me what it is your smoking and were I can get some?

Bobby Baccala

Welbeck is not a bad signing. Bar his finishing hes quick and strong, exactly what posters on here have been crying out for in a striker all summer.

He'll score goals anyway thats all we need

Alfred Borden

its a fake balague account

On another note Nat S is looking well tonight

How do people fall for these every single time????

kev250

As Denman just mentioned, Walcott is returning soon. A player who can play up forward. If we are getting a striker it needs to be an out an out striker. Welbecks stats show he most likely can not deliver that so what does he bring to the team apart from another forward?

Welbeck was played a lot out of position, to be fair. Let's wait and see how he plays.

tayto lover

First Silvestre.
Now Wellbeck.
I wonder would Wenger buy some magic beans from me?

AdamD

At least its not a ****ing loan. Didn't he score 6 in 6 last season playing up top when RVP was out?

Drexel

Doesn't look like a defender will be coming in.

Anyone in the youths that could.make the step up?

I'm gonna go out and a limb and say he'll do well with us, not great but I'm hoping he'll prove worthy to us Don't chew my head off yet, give it time before we judge him, forget about what he's done with United.

Lads Welbeck is going to surprise a lot of yous.

Plus he was played a lot out of position. I'm not saying he's a top class signing but I rather have him in our squad.

We won't see Walcott for about 6 weeks.

When he's playing week in and week out up forward, if he proves himself worthy then he will win many over.

It's a big plus. He can do it if he gets confidence....

Bit of luck bud. I'm really hoping for a CDM and a CB before it shuts but really think I'm asking for too much, which is a shame.

Bellerin definitely at right-back
Hayden possibly at centre-back.

After that, Ajayi and Plezeguero are the centre-halves, don't think they are ready. Not much after that in any position.
