Poor mans Thomas Muller?
Actually, you might be on the money here.
Poor mans Thomas Muller?
No, not really.I never thought he'd be anything close to world class when he was here, but someone that would spend most of his career at United providing useful squad cover. In fact most opposition fans constantly said that too, and he was one who was berated for being in the England team simply because he played for United. It all changed when he left us and now suddenly everyone rated him as the next big thing.
However that didnt happen and he left. He's a useful outlet for Arsenal and is one of those players that is a useful(but replaceable) part of the machinery.
He's not good enough to hate imo, unlike say someone like RVP.
This is a guy that scored as many league goals as Fellaini and Smalling last season.
Show me what's wrong in what I have said. Did Danny Welbeck really develop in the past 2-3 years? Is he a good striker?You sound like Donald Trump. No insight, childish and your only rebuttal is insulting a player. As such, it will be a road to nowhere if I entertain you.
Read the comments from the time when the England NT squad for the WC was announced(your choice of online paper)No, not really.

And then from when he signed for Arsenal, and the narrative after that.
Ok Donald Trump. You lost my interest with your initial post.Show me what's wrong in what I have said. Did Danny Welbeck really develop in the past 2-3 years? Is he a good striker?
What's the point of writing an essay trying to explain a simple fact: that Welbeck has been a terrible striker and showed no real development in years (including before the recent injury)? I don't see the point of doing that, especially given how much this very topic has been discussed here.
Yep, the first bit seems to be going over the head of most Welbeck fans. I doubt there's many (if any!) who would say no to have him as part of the squad. No one is denying that.Nobody is arguing about being good to have in the squad. The questions is is he a top player? The only answer is no. Kane despite being a few years younger is already ahead of Danny on the road to being a top player.
The goal against Leicester isn't a moment of magic ffs.
Alright, then have a pleasant day.Ok Donald Trump. You lost my interest with your initial post.
Its amazimg how quickly people forget. He got the same kind of treatment as Cleverely and was generally derided. He wasnt as bad as they proclaimed him to be tbf.I agree. He was generally a laughing stock (to non United fans) when he was here but once he left, it seems the media and pundits really started rating him.
That comparison only works if Thomas Muller is Bill Gates, and Welbeck is a homeless dudePoor mans Thomas Muller?
It's lucky for Danny Welbeck his fans have the memory of a goldfish
Yep, looks like what we are missing for sure.

Or just bloody score at once.A 180 degree spin and shot is not an easy technique when you're being closed down by 2 or 3 players. Not a terrible miss by any means. Try to do it yourself in the split second he had.

... I believe that the intention at United is to get better quality than anything Danny could ever provide.
Future intention? Well, so far he's another example of a United player who left, only to be replaced by worse.

No.Is that 3 matches in a row now that he's scored in since returning from injury?

best player on the pitch against Everton, joy to watch.

I like Welbeck but Martial at 20 is twice the player. Welbeck doesn't have the composure to be a great striker. With Martial a one on one or a half chance will end up in the back of the net 80% of the time whereas with Welbeck it's probably less than 20%. Remember his glorious attempt at chipping Neuer?
Agree Martial is a better finisher, but you're overdoing it a little!
In PL this season
Welbeck 3 goals from 9 attempts (33.3%)
Martial 7 goals from 43 attempts (16.3%)
Welbeck is on a purple patch, for him anyway, over the course of a 40 game season I am sure his conversion rate would be greatly reduced.
4 in 9.
The pass was a bit behind him. It's a poor attempt though.Or just bloody score at once.
Yep.
From a rival PoV, who else fits that bill Glaston?
