Racist.
Definitely stronger. He's built like an absolute brick shithouse. I am not a short lad and I remember coming face to face with Seb Ryall who plays for Sydney FC who (I thought) looks like a unit on the field and he's 5'11" and standing over him going. Man you're shrimpy! But when I ran into Welbeck in Sydney he is an absolute powerhouse and I was in awe.
His upper arms/shoulders are fecking massive, like carved ash.
edit: For the record I am 186cm and Welbeck is 185cm.
Well we appreciate your concern...
Giving an opinion is fine - being an obsessed tosser is not.
I would say Zaha is more a Henry type player.
Does anyone else think Welbeck's problem with finishing upto this point has been his balance? He often stumbles or gets his feet in a bit of a twist in front of goal. If so, then it'd fit with what SAF said on numerous occasions - that Welbeck was still growing as a late teen/early 20-something, and he'd become a top player in his mid 20s.
I agree, but I thought he kept his body in a better balance in the matches against Scotland and Swansea. The one time he didn't against Swansea he lost the ball and Swansea scored. And he got himself in the box more. He was by far the best player on the park against Scotland.
It clearly isn't, if it isn't conforming to the rimming quota.
It's no more obsession than you or Drainy hopping on every little post I make.
Haha Haha Haha Haha Haha
Pg 168 was a horrible read, you cnuts.
Danny you beauty, keep up this level of goal scoring consistency that you're developing.

Its shite like this that attracts that very attention.
Lynk is acting like such a cock. He gives it the big one when Welbeck has a poor first game after the summer break "where are all the people who say Welbeck is a striker now?", then he actually plays as a striker in a competitive game for us and looks like he could be class there, now he's ironically calling everyone RAWKites while acting the victim..
If you come into a thread bombastically stating shit like that a player lacks all the traits of a top striker, expect to get stick when the player proves you wrong. Trying to act more moderate now and shifting to 'well he's still inconsistent' when most players at 22/23 are, might fool some people but us 'obsessed' people won't forget what you said.

I really hope he can kick on, he's had an outstanding week. Was class yesterday and can be a monster of a player if he remains composed in the final third.
Roy knew.....

ha. they probably all did. best player we've produced since what, Scholes?
doubters have gone home
Roy. Such a kidder.
Welbz. Very comfy baller.
Seriously, when is he going to get banned from this thread? If Welbeck maintains this great form for a season and Lynk is still railing at him for no reason, it will surely start to be little more than spamming - repeatedly stating the same viewpoint regardless of what's actually going on.
EDIT: Wait, did they already do it?
Also with regard to your point about inconsistency at 22/23, it merits repetition that Welbeck has scored more goals/game than Shearer had at his age.
Yep that's true, I think the formula with everyone fit will settle into something like this: winger---Kagawa/Rooney---Welbeck/Rooney.
I really hope Welbeck keeps scoring. We've all said for a while that if he can add goals (and general composure in front of goal) to his otherwise near-perfect set of strengths, he'd be one hell of a player. But you don't really clock just how good until you see him actually doing it.
Just like Heskey, eh?
Oh Danny Welbeck, you're the love of my life
Oh Danny Welbeck, I'd let you shag my wife
Oh Danny Welbeck, I want a high top fade too...

Evans? Again. It's too early to say things like that.
You're the one focusing on me rather than Welbeck.
Again, it's fecking rubbish. It's me defending my original argument from 4 pages ago against people like you, than me constantly criticizing Welbeck. But I doubt that matters, you probably didn't even read it.
Except that Heskey can't really score though.
No way. Rooney was on a different level and I think he will be remembered as such when both their careers end as well. IMO welbeck will end up a very good player but I don't he'll ever be a special footballer right up there with the best.
I would imagine that Van Persie would be much better technically at the same age?
His sliding tackle on Canas made me think that he really meant to sort Canas out after his tackle on Cleverley
Fast becoming one of my favourites and there's nothing better then seeing a homegrown player succeed here - he's a local lad on top of it.
He's a joy to watch. If he can sort out his finishing, he will be devastating.
I know its only one game, but there is lots of potential in the Welbeck - RVP partnership.

That's an amazing stat. I suppose I didn't really notice him until he got to Blackburn (apart from that famous hattrick of course) so it's easy to imagine he hit the ground running.
As to Danny, I avoid posting in this thread because I'm so desperate for him to succeed it blinds me to his weaknesses and I could only possibly come in here to rant against his detractors. It's great to see him scoring though. The more ammo the better though, for him and us.
I don't understand what's not to like about this lad TBH. It's baffling how many United fans set out to give him as little praise as possible, no matter how well he performs. Obviously no player is exempt from criticism, but you hear some fans almost getting joy out of seeing him misplace a pass, or put a shot wide.
Scored a similar goal in the friendly against Belgium last year, but on his left foot.
Absolutely. We should all be in his corner, rooting for him to succeed. That would give me 10 times more joy than going out into the market and spending 40m on the next Gotze/Reus etc etc. There's nothing wrong with signing "marquee" or talented youngsters, but I want players like Welbeck to succeed more.
I think most people would agree with this.
The perception I get is, I think some of Welbeck's detractors, thinks he gets a easier ride, simply because he is a Manc. Because of this, they tend to think that the goodwill and the willingness to want him to succeed, and maybe being, more protective of him regarding criticism, they tend to perceive this as Danny being 'over rated' by fans or, favouritism by fans, and within the club . There is another group who are just indifferent to a Manc succeeding here anymore then someone from South America or Asia. They do not take anymore pride that Welbeck is from Longsight, and has come through the academy, then they would if he was from Lahore or Lima and cost £40m.
Yeah, agreed.
I'm not even from Manchester, let alone Europe, but I love nothing more than a academy graduate coming through and making a name for himself. I don't really have a bias against spending money on someone either, as long as our club benefits/succeeds. But I can't so exactly why, but I take a shit lot of pride in our club "producing" the best players.
I'm not going to lie, there was a stage last season where I doubted whether Welbeck's going to make it - he was competing against Chich, RvP and Rooney. SAF pulled a good one giving him time out wide. His ability though, I've never doubted. His strength and pace is just so much for any defender to handle.
He just needs to stop those silly skills he tries when the ball ends up running out for a goal kick
If Welbeck carries on like this it worries me for the future of my mancrush Hernandez 
But seriously it'll be fantastic to see him carry on like this, a really likeable lad and to be fair it's been obvious for some time that he is a quality player. He also has a deceptive amount of pace, which people don't always recognise because of how long his legs are. He really tied that defender in a knot before Rooneys pass for his second goal too.

Absolutely. I'm not even from Manchester or England, but just to see a local boy who has supported United throughout his life succeed at this club gives me satisfaction.
and hopefully the flip side is also that he'll have much more loyalty then hired guns (it''s not a guarantee but there's more of a chance of this happening with a local United supporter than anyone else!)- Status
