Making Plans 929 Posted August 17, 2013 MOTD - ok so he scored 2 goals but no mention in the analysis that he gave one away at the other end.Just one PL goal last season, 2 in the first game this season & suddenly he''s the greatest thing since sliced bread..

Gingerpele 0 Posted August 17, 2013 Sir Alex, the best manager ever in my book, and many others, rated him. Yes he''s had some flops, but Welbeck was fairly regular under. And RVP the best current out and out striker in the PL, if not the world, praised him.I know that''s a pretty lame argument to defend a player but I feel it''s important to consider, I''m not his biggest fan, but I think worse than the ''love in'' are the people who think he''s rubbish.

But you''re right anyway. Basically, you don''t play regularly for Utd and England if you''re not a bit good. And Welbeck is more than a bit good. Not sure he''ll ever be a real natural goal scorer but he''s a very talented player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
i,coopius 0 Posted August 17, 2013 For me welbeck is a slightly more controlled version of paolo wanchope. For thos that remember him. I seem to recall he said about himself ''how can defenders know what I''m going to do when I don''t even know myself'' . This fairly accurately sums up welbeck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PortlandCanary 0 Posted August 18, 2013 Gotta start building him up as the Rooney replacement. Personally, I think he''s a c@ck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted August 18, 2013 Welbeck had an excellent game yesterday and his finish for the second goal was beautiful. Welbeck and Sturridge could be a great pairing for England in the future, if Sturridge gets more ruthless.Don''t see what the moaning''s about here, but as we didn''t lose yesterday I suppose we need to hate on something.
