Non of this makes sense.. all summer Arsenes been saying he'll only buy players if they can improve the squad.. Turned down chances to buy Remy, Falcao & Balotelli and then settles with Welbeck.

Welbeck would improve the squad. Would Giroud frighten Bayern's defence like Welbeck did? His pace, energy and ability to close down are fantastic. Great on the ball as well.

His striking record is poor due to being played out of position. Last season he played six times through the middle... scored 6 goals.

Welbeck to Arsenal is madness.
I know he never really played his best for us but this could backfire if we don't make top four.
Waiting for the media to say how wonderful he is now he is going to Arsenal, when he played for us they did nothing but slate him.

The guy has MoM performances against Real Madrid and Bayern and you would think Arsenal have signed Bebe looking at twitter. :joker:

When Arsenal went down to ten men at home, you had nothing upfront. Welbeck would of brought that. He was the only player against Bayern that scared them for us... and we have 11 men.

He also made Xabi Alonso look like an average player against Real.

I've always rated his work rate and pace.. pace is exactly what we need. I'm chuffed we're potentially not going to be putting up with Sanogo for another 4 months, Expected more from Arsene though.

He's never had a proper run of playing through the middle. Arsene giving him that chance will see him prosper, imo.

Totally gutted. I'd drop one of Rooney or RVP for him in a heartbeat.

Yeah. I would legit give them Rooney instead lol

This £6m loan fee is ridiculous though, would much rather he came on a perm deal.

He wants the perm move apparently. He's breaking my heart here.

NO! PLEASE NO! D:

Frimpong has gone to Russian premier league newcomers "FC Ufa".....

Schneiderlin now and i'm a happy camper

Nobody happy with the Welbeck deal lul

I like Wellbeck as a squad player but not as our new number 9. I agree with what Thierry Henry said about him during the world cup. Henry said he found it frustrating to watch Wellbeck as he gets the ball in good areas where if it was Henry in those areas he'd knock the ball past the defender and go straight for goal. Welbeck like to check back, look for his teammates etc. Wellbeck is a good player but I dont think he's a number 9 for a top club.

He's never been given a consistent chance to be a Number 9. When he has, he's done well. 6 in 6 last season is a great return.

This puts a dampner on Falcao. I'm gutted.

Please don't be true.

He's going to go, but imagine we pull the plug last min to troll :joker:

Carvalho bid from Arsenal rejected.

Now theres a ton of people saying Huntelaar to Arsenal.. these next 4 hours are going to be horrible.

If you get Huntelaar why the heck would Welbeck want to join you.

There isn't really anything concrete on Welbz joining us yet

SSN said he was having a medical... but that's been refuted by some. Hope Sky's sources are incorrect.

No Medical apparently and talks still going. Arsenal want perm deal and we want loan.


Ask for 30m or Wilshere and 10m to get back at their **** earlier in the window
