I love Danny but those 6 months Sturridge put in at Bolton, Welbeck is yet to do that.

Do think he'll be good for Arsenal though. Not happy were selling him but at least it's fair to him.

That's true, I did forget about that. I just have a feeling that he's going to be brilliant if played up front. Can't blame him for wanting to leave, I'll always like him. Just sucks we're making all these signings and we've had to get rid of him and Kagawa, two of my favourites.

Sturridge demonstrated his talent prior to his move to us though. He scored 8 goals in 12 games at Bolton on loan and looked class. Welbeck hasn't shown anything close to that.

He also went through a period of being very prolific for Chelsea too before falling out of favour when AVB left.

CDM: Arteta, Flamini
CM: Ramsey, Wilshire
CAM: Ozil, Cazorla, Rosicky
RAM: Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain
LAM: Sanchez, Campbell
CF: Giroud, Welbeck, Sanogo

Would be happy with this. Arsene seems transfixed on using a central player on the left though. Gnabry to go out on loan, Diaby to be Diaby.

edit: Keep forgetting Podolski exists...

emotions aside, welbeck is a useful tactical weapon, as seen as his best performances coming in the champions league, and di maria aside the only forward we have with any pace. that said, 16 million is a lot for a utility man. even if selling to arsenal leaves a bad taste, especially if wenger manages to coax the best out of him.

As a striker not being able to finish is a slight problem...

Yes, which is why I pointed that out first, but Welbeck does offer other options to a team. Mainly good pace and strength.

I remember the Champions League match against Real Madrid for instance. He was the main player in that game that was a real threat for United. He has those matches sometimes where his pace and strength really does cause problems for the opposition.

Ornstein has spoken, he's an Arsenal player.

Serious question though...after complaining about how 3-5-2 is the only way to get all of the best players in the same system - how is it going to work with the addition of massive wages Falcao?

Is this the only way?

We should just do a Real Madrid and have world class quality on the wings and a CF who facilitates them.

In a way, we're already on that path.

He can threaten all he wants. Means fuck all when he can't score.
 
AC Milan News ‏@Milanello 7 sec

Bonaventura was shedding tears of joy when he signed the contract with Milan earlier this evening. @giacomobona

oh

lol

Happy for the guy. 4 out of his 14 Serie A goals were vs Inter, seems about right.

For an English international at a big club?

Nah, sounds around right if not a bit on the cheap side.

Plenty of other, better options this summer.

God I actually wish we signed Balo.

Never gonna happen.

Fletcher is vice captain ain't he? Also people cum in their pants over carrick. I honestly think he'll stick with 3-5-2.

Arsenal need a centre back desperately.

Wonder who it'll be.

Considering how they resolved the striker situation I wouldn't be overly optimistic if I were an Arsenal fan.
