BOOOOM! 2-0. Looks like we've signed the best striker in Europe. Thanks Mr Gaal.

Of course he has. His final ball and finishing is woeful at times.
It was an absolutely ridiculous decision to sell him, and now we're going to watch Arsenal reap the benefits that should be ours. This thread is going to be bumped a hell of a lot over the next 5 years, I guarantee it.
LVG has massively massively ballsed this one up. Terrible decision.

Jesus christ, do you realise the player you're talking about is part of your username? Falcao? who cares if he's five years older, Welbeck will never get anywhere close to his level. He's also scored around three or four goals since coming back for Monaco.
Happy for him. I hope he does well and doesn't pick up too many points while he's at it. I was upset at the time and I sort of still am but with Falcao in, ultimately I think the move made sense to all parties.
I was against us selling him but some people were overreacting. Nice 2 goals but as some people said, he used to score a few for England but then missing chances for United. Who knows, maybe he'll be a hit at Arsenal, but maybe he wont. People take for granted he'll score 15, 20 goals for Arsenal.
If Falcao, RVP and Rooney outscore Arsenal strikers, including Danny I wont care how good was his year at Arsenal, even if he scores about 15 goals or whatever number.

Feck sake. So obvious we're gonna regret this hugely. I had just gotten over him leaving and then he reminds me again.
Indeed. I genuinely believe he has more to offer than either RVP or Rooney right now and would have partnered Falcao better than both if we are to remain with two strikers.
well our current strikers with welbeck sold, do seem to come across has the foolish man who built his house on sand, both rooney and RVP not quiet the players they once were, we are not sure how falcao will fair after his current injury. Even if falcao has a stellar season, I cannot see united paying 50 million for someone almost 30, so we got a problem next summer.
Hodgson has faith because he doesn't have anyone better. We have
I'm well aware that Falcao is vastly superior to Welbeck at his best (which I'm hoping he still is) but it's still hard not to critique certain aspects of this. I don't like that we've sold a 23 year old talent like Danny to a direct rival at all.
Yeah. Typically brilliant work from him. It's nothing new though, he's always been such a handful to play against and that little passage was quite typical of him.
His composure on the ball has always been spot on which is why I've rarely doubted it would eventually come together in the final 3rd and take him to another level
Exactly my point. People overreacting. Welbeck outscoring Falcao, Rooney and RVP?
Really..?
Which is what we should have done.
The same set of fans who cheered when they thought the deal wasn't on.. Christ you'd think they've just signed Lionel Messi the way they are behaving on twitter.
I don't think there can be any denying this. I think there's another English chap playing striker who should've been sold instead. Welbeck has all the ingredients that a striker at United need, minus the clinical finishing, but playing alongside RVP or Falcao, I'm not even sure that would be such an issue.
Great sale!
Just when I was about to get over it he goes and does that. I used to love it when Welbeck scored for England, proving the doubters wrong and all that.
Next game can't come soon enough.

He scores for England, he always did when he was here. Lets see him score for Arsenal. I doubt he'll score more than 10 goals this season to be honest.
The fact VG was determined to try and fit in 3 one paced players in rooney RVP and mata, when none of them offer anything with pace or power, welbeck I could see atleast being a better option than RVP atleast, especially with falcao signed
Well he probably could, we'll probably rotate between all 3, Arsenal might use him as their main striker all season.
Far-fetched maybe but not unfeasible.
This is going to be fun.
So did United.
I'm gonna say it, but Welbeck is now a better player then Rooney. Seriously.
Yep... still think we'll regret this one for years to come.
Well done Danny. Big mistake letting him go.
In two years we will probably pay ridiculous money for another striker, yeah good philosophy..
Indeed.
We probably would have kept him if he wanted to stay, but he didn't, he wanted to go to a rival, what can you do? the bottom line is, we got the better deal and as I've said before, these two goals tonight prove very little. I'm not scared in the slightest.
Why are some people still discussing him as if he misses great chances every week? He doesn't, and he hasn't for over a year now. It's lazy rhetoric based on mud that has stuck.
Strange mix of being absolutely delighted for him and heartbreak 
Big mistake to let him go
Big mistake to let him goMaybe I misunderstood and thought he said he'll outscore all three of them combined?
I highly doubt it.
the true plastics
That, is as yet, unproven.
He'll be first choice up front. Our three will be competing for spots. Rooney will be playing pretty deep most of the time. Welbeck will suit Arsenal's style of play and they will create a bucket of chances with Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey, Ox and Walcott. I'm not saying I agree that Welbeck will outscore them but it's hardly that outlandish a claim.
This place is unbearable.
Yup. What really fecks me off is that you could see it coming together last season. Which makes the timing of his exit so hard to take. Either Van Gaal didn't listen to the right people or the right people gave him the wrong advice. I guess this is the sort of thing that happens when you get on the managerial merry-go-round. Really cocking annoying though.
No I meant individually.
