That's a worldclass piece of showboating, Messi or Storey just glance it in without getting feet off the ground (in fact RvP more or less does this only adding the exaggerated and unnecessary flip once the deal is sealed). He was pretty shit in the world cup.

That mockney hasn't heard of gfycat?
Even if RvP isn't world class anymore it still doesn't change the fact that both Rooney and Falcao should start ahead of Welbeck in the front two positions anyway. He wanted and needed to play regularly and that simply wasn't going to happen here.
As for the future, I'd like to think we'll be able to find a better striker than Welbeck when that time comes anyway.

This is genuinely true. And considering the name alone contains two of the worst things about the entire internet; bad spelling and cats, it would only annoy me.
In fact, it already has. feck you.
A good, sensible post. Pity there aren't more of these about in this trainwreck of a thread.
Yeah, we already have an English (British-European) superstar, we need a South American one so we can sell some shirts there ?
Agree with what you said though.
Because he wasn't willing to play a bit part role anymore and the arrival of Falcao was curtains for him. From what I have heard, we tried desperately to get him out on a loan deal but he wouldn't budge. Still massively disappointed by the money we got out of you specially with your obvious desperation in the striker department.
Thats the key issue though ?
My opinion on Welbeck makes perfect sense because I've seen him play an abundance of times for my club.
Only if you know your arse from your elbow.
He scored a hat trick against a shitty defense that let him run from behind - I'm not surprised. There are not that many defenses like that in the PL thou. It was the right thing we let him go, but we should've sold him for more money and not to a direct rival. Woody should've done better...
Didn't Suarez fail to score against any top 4 last season?
High five..
again be more logical with the criticism. he got behind City and Dortmund too, he just didn't convert those chances. Are those shitty defenses?
Happy for him, knew he'd score goals. Wish we still had him 
Something like that, I know it's very cruel but I couldn't give a feck about it. Utd is the priority and will always be. I don't understand how people say if we don't get top 4 anyway, we weren't good enough. We aren't competing in a league different than Arsenal, if they get the spot that we want and Welbeck has helped them get there, then it'll feel really a really stupid mistake. Everything is connected.
It's a win-win situation. We should be happy for Danny, but I hope he doesn't score on us when we meet.
For those who insist Welbeck can't score goals... in your face!
I couldn't agree more with this.
Its not only about the hattrick, I think he scored around 6 goals in all competitions (including internationals) already over past couple of weeks. He managed to score more than any of our players so far this season.
And yet still has a better goal record in CL than Welbeck.
Christ almighty, is there a re-sign clause in his contract? 
In all seriousness the Gala defence was so shite. Now I can only hope he plays a blinder against Chelsea at the weekend revert back to his usual self.

Or a hattrick against Olympiacos in last 16 to send his team to the quarter-finals. He was very good even in our last game against West Ham tbh and scored 2 in the last 2. Yes not in form over a year....
Stop dreaming about Welbz
He wasn't good when he played upfront the season we lost the title for a point. He scored goals, but didn't managed to win us the title, Wazza was to alone upfront. We saw the year after that Fergie bought Kagawa (in order to play Wazza as the main striker), and then RVP, and this guy won us the title.
Welbz can score goals, and he's on a side that is playing well and together since 3 years now, but he'll not become a new Henry like they all said.
So the question is debatable, but I think that it was better for us and him that he left. Excepting the fact that he's an academy player and a Mancunian, he wasn't good enough for our standing and he rarely proved us that he can be a top player and the leader we needed for 6 month or a season long. He no more than an other Sturridge. He'll play well when the team is going well and he'll be shit when the team is so
As far I'm concerned, I rather have Falcao than him. This guy wins you title when he's fit, Surrounded by RVP, Wazza, Mata and Di Maria, I think that we'll have here players that can win you games and some that can win you trophies, and Welbz is not part of these categories
I mean that SAF loved him because he was home made and he was English, he supported him, like he supported Fletcher 10 years ago, but Welbz failed the last 2 seasons even when RVP was injured or Wazza out of favor from Fergie. So he had his chances playing 9 or 9,5
Stop crying about players who left the club. We have Falcao, RVP, Rooney, Mata, Di Maria, Januzaj and the young Wilson to be excited this year and once the team will gel result will come and we'll be more than happy

Spending a fortune to replace Welbeck with a less versatile, older, slower striker who will expect to start every game (alongside another older, slower striker who Van Gaal will evidently never drop) really sorted out that imbalance, right?
Falcao isnt't that bad..
And I guess scoring goals from left right and centre means he's less versatile than Welbeck.

Great effort and nice finishes from Welbeck, very happy with him putting away his first hattrick for us - hopefully there are many more to come.
Mind that time Bendtner scored a Hatrick against Porto? Where was the mass hysteria that night? Infact wasn't he younger than Danny when it happened too?
If Welbeck can go on to become half the player Henry was we will be laughing.
If you want to treat yourself to 15 minutes of pure awesomeness, just watch this:
Unfortunately Welbeck isn't getting close to that level of talent. But if he continues to work hard and play the way he has been he will be a firm Gooner favourite for many years.

Maybe Welbeck will come good, I dont know, but to make comparisons with Henry already is pure madness. But journos need to make a theme out of nothing I guess.
amazing what a move from United can do for the medias perception of a player.
Falcao can score with head and both feets, has killer instinct and as we all could see he is really good in buildup. He assisted 2 in the last 2 games. Really less versatile striker than Welbeck.
And he is not slow, infact he is quick enough to run from the middle of the park to score a goal on numerous occasions.
And yes he is 4 years older than Welbeck not 10 years older. He was scoring goals for fun at the age Welbeck is. One hattrick against very poor team does not mean Welbeck in a top player. Even Bendtner scored hattrick against a lot better team than this Galatasaray team.
Dont understand the need of some people to downplay RVP and even Falcao just to make Welbeck a better player in their eyes.
I think James Wilson could go a long way in mitigating the loss of Welbeck. I reckon Wilson's rise was a strong factor in LVG looking to offload Danny in the first place, and from what I've seen I think his inclusion in the first team will be a certainty. It's a real pity that he got injured when he did, as I believe if people in the game, and in the media, could see the potential that this kid has they'd come to understand the logic behind the manager's decision in letting Welbeck leave.
Really happy for Welbeck doing so well for the Gooners, but with all due respect, at the moment comparing him to Henry is ridiculous. Thierry Henry is/was a very very special player. A perfect complete attacker. One of those players, who I always dreamt of seeing in United's shirt.
For me he is now a player for a rival team, I hope he doesn't score another goal this season.
For those saying we shouldn't have got rid of him, who would you drop, should we have sold Wilson, not bought Falcoa, built the team around Welbeck, let him rot in the reserves?
Welbeck was never going to be first choice at United, he wasn't even going to be second or third choice, we currently have Rooney, RVP, Falcoa, Wilson and LVG sees Januzaj as a forward. What do some of our fans do, cry a little river over Danny fecking Welbeck.

We should not have sold him to a rival
We managed to avoid this forever basically....until now?
I agree about that, but it's happened now and he was never going to go to a mid table Club.
Every team in the PL is a rival! We could have sold him to Leicester and it would not have made much difference.
