By far the most amusing surprise of the transfer window was Welbeck to Arsenal.
Arsenal fans, certainly on this site, have spent the past few years claiming that Welbeck is an atrociously poor striker. For some reason they have had a personal vendetta against the guy .
Just watch the mugs now, I promise that after one game they'll be calling him world class
Pound for pound, they are still the most fickle and contemptuous fans in the league Only group of supporters I can think of who made their own players cry by booing them Yes, the Mousers are most deluded I know .
Oh, they have also spent over £80 million now, which should finally end the myth the goo.ns don't spend money.

Is Welbeck now world class?

Why are Liverpool fans so concerned with Arsenals dealings?

Why single out Liverpool fans? We're all having a laugh!

There’s no doubting that Welbeck received criticism from many Arsenal fans, however this derision was similarly replicated by numerous United fans.
The way I see it if a languid Giroud can contribute 20+ goals a season there is nothing to suggest a quick and mobile Welbeck cannot provide similar. Especially in light of the creative players behind him.

As i said on an earlier thread : 'I suspect we will have iterations of articles like this with each Welbeck meagre exploit in Arsenal colours - especially if it coincides with troughs we experience.
The fact is: the lad is gone! We should move on! He has.'

Hope you enjoyed your summer. You seen the new Liga thread for the season? Won't be around today as it's my eldest's birthday, but hope to see you round to hear your opinions on how we (Madrid) have made a mockery of ourselves. Again.
Btw...Champ10ns!

Nothing RM does this days surprises me in the slightest. Though, i had to check that the Hernandez story was not an April Fool joke.
Tbf, this time i doff my hat to Uncle Flo. Getting 'silly money' for Di Maria (and Alonso) effectively funded J-Rod. And Kroos is a fine addition.

One thing's for sure, Arsenal have by far and away the quickest team. They'll blitz teams with their pace... it just remains to be seen whether they can capitalise on that advantage.

But Madrid would have been better off keeping Di Maria and Alonso and not signing J. rod

Maybe MUDD, but Kroos is better than Alonso of 31/32. He is a proper midfielder, Angel is not.
Bale effectively replaced Angel. Kroos replaces Alonso.
J.Rod, another vanity purchase! All in all, not that bad actually.

They could have signed Kroos and kept the other 2

OP I don't think you should be calling out people's fickleness considering you can go from the verge of a breakdown to billy big bóllocks during 1 game
