Ed 02. With welbeck having only 18 months left on his contract, i think. Do you know wether he will be sold this January or offered a new contract. Rumour that he may be off loaded but surely another replacement for him isn't on the cards. Is it? Thanks for any info.

{Ed002's Note - You are right about the 18 months Steve and he is somewhere down the list of potential strikers for Besiktas (ironically Giroud was originally top of their list). However, I can't see Arsenal letting Welbeck leave if Giroud were to move. If Giroud stays then perhaps Welbeck will leave later in the window - but that won't suit Besiktas who have a pressing need for a solution.}

it's strange ed, I don't understand why year after year, big british players are linked with teams abroad but they always end up staying here. Is it generally the players refusing to move or are British teams seen as more difficult to negotiate with etc?

I like Danny a lot, but it looks like at 27 he'll never really add finishing to his repertoire. Much rather we kept Giroud (though I suspect it will be the other way around due to age and desire to start at the WC for France)

{Ed001's Note - it is because they are not good enough and there is little genuine interest until the current crop of youth players.}

I don’t rate Welbeck at all, him and Iwobi need to off loaded soon as possible.
