He needs to work on his composure, I like him and hope he succeeds at the club
I think he is a good player but i am not convinced he can score 20 goals a season for us i hope he proves me wrong
He has everything except the composure and finishing (kinda important to a striker!)
He is a proper handful with genuine pace, I always think there is a place for a player like that in the modern squad game but 20 goals a season? nope, 12 assists, perhaps, throw in 8-10 goals and I would take that with the other forwards we have

--------------------------------
i was gonna say , its like talking about a young defender who you hold in high regard and saying he cant tackle and has no composure, welbeck has improved abit but i feel he would have been better off on loan the last few years(like sturridge at bolton for example)
he's the Phil Jones of strikers
In my opinion Welbeck should be made into a inside forward. He has pace and the ability to beat his man and clearly his composure is not at its best inside the box.. maybe his best position is tailored in the side left role.
Oof iv always felt this will end up his overall position. If moyes can get an end product out of him then he will b one hell of a player I think
i like Danny... but i have doubts over whether the composure will ever come. Most great strikers have good finishing ability from the start and its the other aspects of their game (movement, timing etc) that improve over their career. Its one thing saying give him time etc... but if he starts costing points in a title run in, he'll get hammered.
The lad does have great pace, strength, ability to run with the ball ... i just don't see him becoming clinical enough to be an out and out striker... If anything he looks even less dangerous playing up front than he does on the wing.
nothing wrong with the role he has been playing tbh... no he's not an out and out left winger... but he's decent, puts in a great shift... and in certain games, like Madrid away, he's been superb at carrying the ball, easing pressure etc
OOF
Have you had a life-changing experience of some kind, or is it me? I keep reading your comments and agreeing with them.
I also believe Welbeck could be a very handy inside forward. Alternatively, he could be the kind of centre forward whose role is as much a facilitator as finisher - playing with his back to goal and playing in others, making lateral runs that drag defenders out of central positions and create pockets of space in the middle for other forwards / midfielders to move into.
I like Welbeck as a player. As he matures I think he could bring some of the same ingredients that Saha brought to our attack: mobility, strength, intelligence. Saha was a better goal scorer than Welbeck right now but I think Welbeck will prove to be a better all-round footballer. He needs to work on finishing certainly but I'm quietly optimistic he can justifying staying at United for most of his career.
He's no Demba Ba, best striker in Europe, Welbeck is Grimsby Town quality
Maybe Sir Alex knew what he was doing by playing Welbeck as in inside left last season.
It was never going to be an instant success but the boy needs time.
Welbeck has the potential to move up a couple of levels.
He can score goals, we know that from the 11/12 season. If he scored a couple of goals, early on this season... Who knows what could happen.
He is still a young guy and a confidence player.
So he's like a young Kalou?

....................................
High praise indeed, I echo your thoughts that he has a bright future at United....
Last season he was pants. And dont give me this 'oh well he works really hard for the team rubbish', he was just pants. Im willing to give him another season though.
Worst three players last season
Valencia
Giggs
Welbeck
Not 'golden boy', more like teachers pet (with the approval of most fans) The guy is homegrown and went through the academy, so you can understand him being a local favourite....BUT....now teacher has retired and it is whether the substitute teacher will need his red rosy apples or not... we shall see!
