Welbeck told to

Page 2 of 4

posted on 22/8/14

Played centrally on a regular basis Welbeck could easily bag 15 PL goals a season for a mid table club but he's just not clinical enough at the highest level. I would still prefer to keep him as a squad player though.

Importantly Welbeck compliments both Rooney and RVP better than Hernandez which is important if we plan on playing 2 up front.

Would be a terrible decision to sell him!

.............

No, it will not. He doesn't score many goals and he gets even fewer assisits.

Also keeping him will hold back the development of James Wilson.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mate just shatt up. Put Sturridge on the left see how many goals he gets Put RVP on the left see how many goals he gets. The lad was the best 4th striker in the whole league last year. When he plays with wazza and mata behind, our team actually plays more attacking and intricate football.

Not sure what Chich has done pre-season for LVG to think it would be better selling Welbeck tbh
----------------------

I think that they might both leave to be honest. Even if they do, we still have a shed load of no.10s and 3 that can play as no.9s in Rooney, RVP and Wilson.

That isn't even including Powell and Keane.

I think he's might see him ahead of Wilson in the pecking order

............

No. Not after how slow he looked on tour. That was the first time I have seen Will Keane and I was not very impressed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I prefer Wilson myself too but Will Keane is way better than his tour showing VC.

Poor example. Sturridge has scored plenty for Liverpool from playing in wide positions.

You really should put your very tiny brain in gear before pressing the send button.

Scholay we very rarely play good attacking football full stop, let alone when Danny is on, given that he's usually selected to play as nothing more than another full back. His assist record speaks for itself

He'll probably stumble over his feet on the way out the door and get injured

For me, Chich should be going instead of Welbeck

Like others have said, he looks good In a Van Gaal system, is more versatile, and Wilson is more like Chich anyway

They might both go Macca. We have loads of options in the no.10/no.9 positions.

he may well be Macca, but unless he has the goal scoring abilities of an RVN, then with the pace he has he will find it very hard to be a success.

Further to that, the one thing we are short of is that burst of pace that stops defenders from pushing up. And Wilson looks to me like he has pace to burn.

Sturridge played on the right for Chelsea and scored just under a goal ever two games over a season. So you're wrong there.

...............

He didn't really think it through GT. Sturridge was the last person I would have used as an example.

If you can score goals, playing out wide will not hamper you that much.

Two certain RM players have scored hatfulls from playing out wide.

Number 9s
RVP
Rooney
Welbeck
Hernandez
Wilson
Keane
Powell


Number 10s
RVP
Mata
Rooney Kagawa
Welbeck
Adnan
Powell
Herrera
Fellaini


For me, you can take Welbeck, Fellaini and Hernandez out of the list and we still have plenty of options.

Also Wilson has been training with senior squad this week. I wouldn't be surprised if this news is true......

wouldn't care if he leaves really, don't rate him that highly for a striker. He's a hard worker though

People might laugh, but if this is true, I wouldn't be surprised if Real Madrid looked at him.

wtf how has this comment slipped past people on this thread. This comment hurts me. This comment is why United finished 7th last year. This comment is why there is evil in this world

posted on 22/8/14

Article has no quotes or even sources. Personally if we are going to sell him to a top club I would expect a bid of about 40m.

He is young, English and has PL experience and immense potential

With RVP's injury record, Wilson or keane would be thrust in should anything reoccur with RVP

I'd prefer to break Wilson in gently personally

Gonna watch him tonight against the Dippers U21 if he plays

Indeed. Wilson looks quick

Keane is a natural finisher too though. His development was stunted with a bad injury. It was pretty frustrating actually because he was looking really useful

Time will tell but like you, I do think we may have something special on our hands with Wilson - his finishing is technically brilliant for me and he's reasonably two footed too I think

Wilson will be back-up alongside Powell & Keane. Possiblly even Adnan.

I just think that we are overstocked in that area and if we are to see Wilson develop better than Welbeck has, we need to lose a few players. Otherwise in a few years time we could be having the same discussion about Wilson as we try to make room for the next bright prospect.
