Big risk

Transfer fee and RVP's wages for 4 years will cost Manchester United a total of £65m.

On the one hand, last season he was the best player in the Premiership and him/Rooney could be a lethal partnership.

On the other hand, he's 29 and last season was his only fully fit season.

£65m is one hell of a gamble for him not to pick up any of his "niggly injuries" that keep him out for months on end.

"Yeah I rate 21 year old England International Danny Welbeck, still evolving as a player, you support Arsenal so you surely understand what that is all about. "

That's not even the point.
You can't laugh at Podolski, while you rate Welbeck who's a talentless oaf. Makes no sense.

I agree with you AU.

Podolski is better centrally. And Wenger was experimenting with him in the Pre Season.

I think he'll play there this weekend.

What surprised me about him was his link up play and movement.
He has vision too.

"I think Podolski will be a good signing too but I thought he would play on the left side of the front three with Giroud in the centre and Walcott on the right?"

Yeah. That's how we'll probably set out to play.

Welbeck a talentless oaf words fail me! But you're a Gooner full of hate at the moment, just like the bloke on the radio he thinks only Rooney, Vidic and possibly nani would get into the Aresnal team I think the last 7 seasons have proved which team has been better! By the way, who's next?? Song, Walcott etc etc......come down to Aresnal, the summer sale is still on

How does it feel to idolise a kid who can barely control the ball?
Welbeck's 2nd touch is a tackle.

^ you tell us to have Chamakh, except he isn't a kid. What about Bendtner? Ooh he is 24! Oh well I will tell you then. It feels great to be a United fan, it feels great having Welbeck as one of our many strikers. Just brilliant. Thanks for asking.

"You tell us, you have Chamakh" even. We don't want him.

Oh yeah and "dubbed the new wenger" I wasn't laughing at Podolski, I was laughing at what you said. You said he would get 10 or more goals. That is a bit like standing out in the rain going "I may get wet"! It just seemed like you had set your sights too low. Aim for the stars, take that risk, demand 20 goals, he is an experienced pro and international footballer. You need to change it because if he only gets about 10 goals, Giroud will have to hit the ground running and no mistake, you will struggle to stay up on that logic! I am expecting Danny to get nearer to 20 this year, certainly to improve on the 12 of last year. So that is all I was saying, you can have your opinion in Danny, makes no difference to me.
