Morning Gooners and Devils....
Although I was dismayed about Welbeck intially I am more and more satisfied with signing him. He came on yesterday and looked decent however for Arsenal he is a low risk signing and here's why:
Cheap £16m, Long went for £12m, Lllalana went for £25m yet Welbeck has titiles to his name and is a regular England International, for an English player he is cheap
Ressale Value - Even if it doesnt work out Arsenal will easily recoup their money
Pace - He has pace to burn upfront which is what we need
He is young - has his best years ahead from him
Fergie Factor - Ferguson rated him highly and belived he could make it to the top so who are we to doubt him! Perhaps Wenger can finish the job of moulding him!
Proven Prem - Falcao although my view is summed up by he will need time to get to know his teamates
So in essence he is a low risk option for us, if it works we could have a sturridge mark 2, if it doesnt am sure Newcastle or Stoke willo buy him for £15m at least in a few years time
Dat guy Welbz

Don't you think he's a helmet for paying £16m for a striker who is worse than 2 of your reserve players?

I like to think of myself as someone with intelligence.
So if someone has a different opinion from myself, i dont automatically consider them an helmet
Especially if that individual has significantly more experience & expertise in that particular fried, when compared to myself.

Now you're happy he's at Arsenal. Very sudden change in opinion there.

Dont really know where you're going with this.
Like ive admitted numerous times, all fans are fickle.
You cant deny that majority if not all Utd supporters belived Anderson was superior to Cesc, how many still believe that now?
To answer you question: Considering Sanogo was 1st choice striker after Girouds injury and imo Sanogo isnt good enough yet.
Welbeck is clearly better than Sanogo.
So based on having Welbeck to lead the line instaed of Sanogo, im very happy

You're going round in circles
Who in their right minds out of all the strikers in the world, would want Welbeck?!?!?
Have you ever looked at Darren Bent & thought i want this guy at my club?
But if its a choice of Sanogo or Bent, then Bent please

So you are looking at Welbeck and saying that you do want him at your club... because he is better than what you have. So that contradicts your statement "ive never ever looked at Welbeck and thought, i want this guy at Arsenal and never will"

As a new signing i'll wish him well, cos if he does well i'll happily be labelled a hypocrite.
But i'll reserve judgement like i do to all players that join my club, until they've actually played a few games.
If he turns out to be as useless as thought he was while at Utd, it would mean my initial opinions of Welbeck were spot on.
Likewise if he turns out to be a revelation, then i'll happily admit that i was wrong

Not really good riddance but don't think he was ever United material...just the fact that he was a local kid...sort of wish him luck..BUT not against us!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's face it - He's going to score against you the first match we play you.
Will lead us to a glorious 9-1 defeat.
---------------------------------------Ya silly fing...prepare to get another 8-2 beating-------------------------------
