I know every Arsenal fan was dying for us to sign Ballo and most would have said Ballo over Welbeck.... however we are now seeing that if Liverpool had signed Welbeck he would have suited their system perfectly..... Why didnt Liverpool make an attempt to sign him, yes I know the rivals and all that but even if you made them an offer they couldnt refuse... say £25m I reckon they would have sold you him... after all you paid that much for Lallana, and other unknown players
I don't think Ballo is a flop however, I dont think he is suited to a lone striker as he is not prepared to do the donkey work.... so I think him and Sturidge could actually be a decent partnership, however if they both play the challenge is then not be over run in midfield by the opposing team...

Welbeck is a £10 mil player who trips over the ball a lot. He's funny to watch.

Is there a need to criticise another player directly because one of your players got criticism. What has Welbeck to do with this topic?

Welbeck scored a hattrick against a poor side. I am not convinced yet. I am also not convinced that he would have been better. Why dont people let the season play out a little before making conclusions?

And what did baloteli do against even poorer teams in ludogrets or whatever they are called? U barely got out of that game alive.

So we are using one or two games to judge players? Balo has been poor but its a long season.

I was on the fence when we signed Balo. I honestly couldn't decide if he would fit in or not. To be honest I'm less than impressed with what I've seen of him up to now; but in fairness I think we should give him time to see if he gels with the team and improves. Needs to up his work rate drastically though.

IMO Rodgers is making a mistake with the formation
Balotelli needs a strike partner

When would people learnt to stop being reactionary from 1 or 2 good performances. I was a huge champion of Welbeck's signing and I NEVER wanted Balotelli, but all this hysteria after the recent CL round of matches is getting irritating. No one has been proved right or wrong - yet.
