Aidan Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Brands isn'tt stupid enough to sign an injury prone player at his age on 100k+ per week. Shame about his career I like him as a player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Everton are leading the charge to sign Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck on a free transfer, reports claim. Welbeck, 28, is leaving Arsenal after five injury-plagued seasons with West Ham, Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Wolves all credited with interest. But the Standard say Marco Silva’s Toffees are front-runners. It’s claimed the Merseyside outfit are prepared to increase his £100,000-a-week salary should he pass a medical. my main issue is his fitness. Well, it’s one of several main issues but I’m just baffled by this link. No way I’d have thought would be looking at him (if it’s all true) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makis Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Welbeck is hardly shit. He's a good player when he's fit but that seems to be a rare occurence. His injure record is enough to swerve him, there's absolutely no need to be stupid and call him shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes and no rubes. DCL may continue to improve as a footballer but scoring goals is more a natural gift than something you can train for. When the ball is pinging around the penalty area and suddenly falls to your feet, you have maybe half a second to react. A Jimmy Greaves will have it in the back of the net. DCL will look up, look around and wonder why his shot is blocked. Having said that, I don't see many games and quite often only see the highlights, but he does squander a lot of chances. The most worrying misses are those that go straight at the goalie, headers and shots. It indicates that he doesn't even know where the goalie is - something every decent striker should be aware of at all times. Even worse, it may indicate that he does know where the goalie is but isn'tt capable of finding the space where the goalie isn'tt. I really hope the lad makes good but I do have my reservations.

AlbanyNYToffee Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 This is West Ham and Newcastle written all over it, not us...hopefully. I'll take West Ham since they are likely to pay higher wages and Arnautovic will want to the China cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Welbeck is a good striker, but like others have said, his injury record is scary. If he can stay healthy then he'd be a good striker for us. I just don't think he'll stay healthy, so a no from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Ive always maintained he would be a good striker given a run of games but he's injured all the time. Brilliant athlete, that game he played over 2 legs for man United vs Bayern I think it was - was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 On the basis that, when fit, he’s much better than Tosun, Niasse, Sandro and DCL, I’d have him in a heartbeat... fitness is the huge issue though! In my opinion, it’s a risk worth taking if we sell Tosun and Niasse (hopefully Sandro too) but we’d need a 3rd striker too. DCL, Welbeck and a first choice striker would be fine by me.

Finn balor Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I agree he’s an upgrade on Tosun and niasse but £100k a week? I don’t think that’s healthy for the dressing room him getting so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 God no! He's awful. Don't know whether he's a striker who can't score, or a winger who can't cross. DCL is better, I've never watched Henry O before but I'd rather risk him or another kid than bring Welbeck here. I know Walcott isn'tt popular but I was happy we got him over Welbeck, at least Walcott has clear atrributes (pace* and finishing). I don't even know what Welbeck excels at, he's quick but not the fastest and awful in front of goal. *I know pace isn'tt a skill (it's a natura ability) but in the league at the moment it's important.

Deacs Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Certainly not the sort of player we should be considering if we want to beak into the top six. nutmegwolf203 and pete0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 He’s a shit striker. His goal record proves that. If he’s fit, he’s an average forward at best. He’s also not the level we should be aiming for. I don’t think he’s an upgrade on Sandro, let alone the others.

All these "decent" striker comments were making me feel like my head was going to fall off. Makis said Welbeck is hardly shit and I'd have to agree with him on reflection. He's actually very shit. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
