This.

A solid signing if not spectacular.

United fans are shitting it; I too, reckon he'll start scoring surrounded by our midfield talent and they'll be left with egg on their face. Happy enough with this given the dire circumstances, but we need a CB and DM NOW!!
I sincerely hope you are right VAVA

And totally agree on the last bit

Mate his first touch is awful. I watched a manc game other day as had a horrible feeling we'd be in for him. His first touch is shit, his passing and vision is shit, and his finishing is worse than shit.
He has pace but other than that I fail to see how he improves the team. Not going to look it up but has he ever got into double figures in a season?
Are you saying he's the English Sanogo?

£16m for the one goal in ten man - the worst fucking signing since Silvestre and a criminal waste of the money the fans give to the club

Absolutely disgusted - a panic buy to rival Santos and Park - just even more expensive

I wonder if Manure are going to do to us what Chelsea did last year with Ba. :shock:

It wouldn't surprise me!

Although sky are now reporting that a deal in principal has been reached.

Mate, if we offered £16m they will fucking drop him off at the door.

£16m for Danny Welbeck. I just read that again out loud and it hurts more with every reading

Can't believe people are happy with Welbeck. My main memory of him is slagging him off during England games to anyone that would listen (Admittedly not many people ).
I'll give him a chance but don't think he's what we need.

Sturridge was "shit" at Chelsea, look how good he became at the mousers.

I forsee a similar trajectory with Welbz.

If you call him Welbz one more time I'm giving you an 8 hour ban. :twisted:

After having a quick check.... in a team managed by Moyes don't forget, never exactly going to be attack minded.
Appearances 15 (10) 9 Goals 1 assist, shots per game 1.6, 87.4% pass success rate. Not brilliant but a bit better than I thought they would be.

And he just got into double figures 2011/2012 he got 11 :oops:

Why did Wenger extend his contract. I finally expected big things. Chelsea got Costa United got Falcao and we get the failure Welbeck. He is shit really shit
