Danny Welbeck Signs (dont moan)

[northbank123]

Thought he did well today. Their two CBs were just too solid to let him get a look in from balls crossed in from promising wide positions and naturally he faded. We look a lot more positive with him though.

Plus, his air shots are even much better than Sanogo's

Mixed feelings on him today -

1. I used to think that he wasn't good enough for us.....now I'm not sure if we are good enough for him The slow laboured lethargic team-play must be a nightmare for any striker with pace

But

2. We managed to make kaboul look like baresi, maldini, TA6 and paul McGrath all rolled into one today - making a donkey like kaboul look good is no mean feat I can tell you

Glad you are sticking with him Augie

Another Giroud level signing. I like the way he holds up the ball, he turns sharply and has a decent injection of pace. He'll be perfect with the rest of the flat track bullies ripping up Burnley and Sunderland, but in the big games where we need that one chance converted he'll do a Giroud. Already this season he's missed vital chances at Dortmund (shortly before they scored) and at home to City when it was also 0-0

£16m for a 12-15 goal striker, as opposed to the £50m it would have taken to get Suarez a year ago who would have scored 30, or £35m for Costa who would have done likewise

You get what you pay for. Anyway, he's saved us the absolute embarrassment of having to watch the Postie every week so can only hope he stays fit and improves every week

I like a lot of things about his play.

Whether he proves to be more than a "good" striker remains to be seen. I can't see it at the moment but I like his play and let's see how he does.

He's movement off the ball was RvP like today.

WelBEAST.

Yep. Danny Henry or Thierry Welbeck?

we'll see.

if he's given the right ammunition against the chavs, city, united, liverpool, everton etc maybe he can score consistently.

but like Giroud, i think its very likely that we will not dominate the midfield, will give away possession playing patter cake patter cake passing football, and he'll get to only feed off scraps.

[1989]

Giroud has never scored a hattrick for us. It took Danny 5 games to get his first.

[clockender1]

i've texted my BIL who is a manc fan ( a real one sadly), and pointed out that Welbeck has scored more goals this year than uniteds whole forward line.

i'm not sure if that's true, but you should read the language. shocking it was.

Bendtner got a CL hat-trick and he was shite.I will judge Welbeck against the big teams.Not the shite we played tonight

[SPUDMASHER]

Wellshit

I'm thinking more like........ best centre forward at the club.

The Mancs must be gutted.
