£16m is a fair price for Welbeck in today market. I'm surprised Utd have accepted a fair price from Arsenal though. Even if not by much, Arsenal will be better off with him and it'll only make Utd's task of qualifying for the CL harder.
He's not joking Purd. Pigeon gives one regular player a hard time every season. The abuse he used to give Kuyt was far worse the anything you've seen him say about Allen.

And for every Balotelli there's a Shane Long.

Or an Andy Carroll or Torres?

Welbeck is **** he's just a hard worker who can only score when he's in the 6 yard box.
Soldato
Yeah I think Welbeck could do alright, although very understandable why Arsenal fans might be disappointed having flirted with names like Cavani and Falcao all summer 
Basically kind of player you want if you're looking to stay in the top 4, bag a domestic cup here and there but not really challenge for the titlWAIT A MINUTE

He was technically challenged but he would've been one of the first names on the teamsheet against the top sides for me. Every team needs a player like him and at the moment ours is Henderson who, in my opinion, is just a far better player than Kuyt ever was
Caporegime
Yeh, I think he could be a good player. He's always done well for England and is a clear mark up on Sanogo.
Manchester United's forwards meant that Welbeck would either have to play the waiting game (again) and be a bit part player or move away and play (hopefully) regular football.

Why can that only be a good thing, remember when the same was said about Chamakh and more. He's a free transfer so it's cheap... nope it was high wages and we got saddled with him for years, not good enough to start, not good enough to be really good cover and not the right type of player. He scored some goals but we didn't win titles because of those goals and we had 4mil a year going out on him rather than a player that is actually good enough.
Another player to make up the numbers is fine IF you have great players already. Welbeck may be even worse than Giroud, signing a crap player for £85k+ a week to be short term back up to a striker who himself isn't good enough to be starting can't only be good, it's anything but good. It's a panic buy that will once again leave us with long term financial consequences.
The team is crying out for more players with Wilshere's current drive, the ability to take the ball from midfield, driver forward and then produce crosses/passes into strikers or attackers we have already who can finish. Welbeck is yet another player who has no final ball, is pace and no control or quality. He's absolutely not what the team needs at all. He'll get a few goals, but he won't be the difference between the team being good or great, he'll be yet another average(at best) player who prevents us actually signing a great player.
He was pretty gash in pre season and he's had bad games but he's nowhere near as bad as pigeon makes out, many a game he came on when we began losing control of the game for 5-10 mins in the second half and completely changed it back in our favour. Although Brendan never identifies when to make a change either apparently
