All this knicker twisting about wellbeck. He kept Rooney out of the utd team when they outplayed Real in CL, ferguson rated him big time. Likewise Falcao is crazy expensive with his injury record, even Real thought so plus Remy would also not have had any resale value. 16mill for 23yo ENGLISH player is pretty good. He's not going to be our star man but doesn't mean he won't add very useful depth plus help make our attack more coherent in giroud's absence.

Would have loved falcao (300k per week) or cavani (200k per week) but we don't seem to be at that table unfortunately.

Well said he's not a bad player at all! A lot better than sonogo and may prove proper competition for giroud.
One thing is he may not be world class but he works very hard for the team and could play where ozil is currently deployed meaning he can finally play in the no 10 with sanchez through the middle in some games

We are at the cheap crap reject 4th place trophy table and always will be with wenger!

People forget we have Ozil, Sanchez, Ramsey, Walcott and Chamberlain amongst other very good players. Yes Welbeck isn't the best player we could have got but he is better than nothing and will add depth, versatility. Just because not every player in the squad isn't world class it doesn't mean we can't succeed. Utd showed this for many years.

I think he will shine
