I for one am happy to see a Welbeck join. I think he will bring more out of Ozil and Sanchez than Sanogo and Giroud. He is also a hard worker and will allow us to press more efficiently higher up the pitch. His youth means he is Less financially risky than Falcao and less risky in terms of mentality than Balotelli.
I will certainly be supporting him and it is a shame to see the reaction of so many fellow 'fans'. It is not Welbecks fault that Wenger has failed to sign a CB or DM which is where the frustration seems to be coming from.
I think we have had a poor window and Wenger hasn't justified passing up on Fabregas with his subsequent actions. But Welbeck has improved the squad and the first team (at least until Giroud returns)
With Welbeck, Sanchez, Walcott and Chamberlain we can set up as a very quick counter attacking side!
Pleased with Welbeck

It looks like you may get your wish anyway. It's being reported Falcao failed his medical so we won't be getting Welbeck. Have fun watching Sanogo up front for the next 4 months if this is the case. Good night.

Wolf... well I don't agree with any of that either...
He's a pretty good player, give him a chance and I think he might actually surprise you.
Sturridge looked similarly poor to Welbeck when in similar circumstances to Welbecks...
Who's to say Welbeck won't blossom like Sturridge when in similar circumstances to him?

You would rather rely on Sanogo than have Welbeck?

I'm sorry but people only compare the two because they are black, English and round the same age. Welbeck will never be like sturridge, totally different players. At the end of the day a club like us who need a wc striker shouldn't be wasting time with what we already have - average cräp

Well yeah they're both black...
Both around the same age
Both English
Both Strikers
Both had good loan deals and then struggled at their parent club.
Both had good strike rates up front.
Both were underrated because they would get shunted out to the wings.
Both needed to find a club with less competition for strikers... Sturridge blossomed...
Would not bet against Welbeck doing the same.

Myth that rvp won the league as the previous season we scored more goals and conceded a lot less. Saf won us the league.

TBH I do feel we could have won the league that season without RVP.... though if RVP had gone to City instead then they may have won the title.
