Maybe Wenger can suit up himself?

Seriously though, what was he thinking not buying a replacement?

by Shed Tue 16 Sep 2014, 02:40

The same thinking he was using when he saw their striking problems from the last several seasons and answered them with....Welbeck.

by Kick Tue 16 Sep 2014, 02:46

But Welbeck has lots of energy and... erm....scores, occasionally.

And is ENGLIGH. Don't forget ENGLISH.

Automatically makes him world class.

Honestly, I would have taken him as my third CF, but not as an only replacement for a four month injured Giroud.

by Shed Tue 16 Sep 2014, 02:55

His record playing basically that same role for United is pretty poor.

Would have been a no from me.

When it comes down to it, how often would he play for us?

Drogba has played twice, off the bench, late on.

I don't know when we'll see him next since Costa is currently trialing for his new position as Alpha and Omega while Remy is in good form too.

I can't imagine we'd see Welbeck all that much so I would have been ok with him.

Easy to say that 5 weeks in.

Let's see where we are in January then come talk to me.

Regardless, it was an average signing for them.

And more than Remy Laughing

Whom they had 2 months to sign and didn't rofl

by Kick Tue 16 Sep 2014, 03:13

I saw a report saying they wanted to assure they were in the CL before signing him, in order to save a few Million, it horribly backfired as they still ended up spending more than that on Welbeck Laughing
