So, is he back being best player in the world again?
But, but, I keep getting quoted - "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in".
You made a point which i effectively countered with facts. Since you didn't want to address that, you used sarcasm.I didn't say you said that. I was being sarcastic.
Napoli wanted him? Oh, he must be world class then. Feck sake, you can't be serious! (First I've ever heard about this Napoli interest btw). If he was rated, why were only Arsenal interested in him? All the other clubs in Europe full up?
Wow, Guardiola and Klopp mentioned him in pressers when talking about the opposition they're about to play? Oh, yeah that really means they rate him?! Fecks sake, have a word.
Ask any oppo fan on the continent if they rate Welbeck, and the majority will tell you he's average.
its worse than the Pogba or Morrison threadThis is fast becoming my favourite thread it has made my day for sure.
The idea that we've strengthened Arsenal is a bit strange. I'd much rather they have Welbeck than go after players like Mandzukic, Benzema et al.. who actually score goals.
Sure but a single result won't define a side. Villa are what they are and stealing a result at Anfield won't change that.this is the same Villa side Liverpool lost to.

It showcases how united fans are divided on Welbeck. There's no middle ground at all
erm.. what?
I dont care where he wanted to go. Its like Sir Alex not selling Heinze to Pool even though he wanted the move, we should have told them to do one.
He is world class for the next week, then he'll go back to cocking up a half dozen chances every match and scoring once every six weeks.So, is he back being best player in the world again?
I'll give you that one.
Around 20 goals every year he's been at Real, despite not being the main man for them is a good record.erm.. what?

Villa seems to have no idea on how to play if they go down. Like against Liverpool, all they did was score early and retreat deep into their own half.Sure but a single result won't define a side. Villa are what they are and stealing a result at Anfield won't change that.

Napoli wanted him? Third best club in Serie A. Oh, he must be world class then. Feck sake, you can't be serious! (First I've ever heard about this Napoli interest btw). If he was rated, why were only Arsenal interested in him? All the other clubs in Europe full up?

Surely the fact that Arsenal chose to sign him means they felt he would strengthen them?
The team wasn't productive so changes had to be made. It made no sense in keeping the players that didn't produce the desired results as a team. I guess he had to be sacrificed in order to get different players because United obviously needed a change. It was either that or keep losing every game.

What the feck are you on about? Your fachts about a non existent interest from Napoli? Your fachts about Guardiola and Klopp mentioning players of the opposition he's about to play? Okay mate... :benitez:You made a point which i effectively countered with facts. Since you didn't want to address that, you used sarcasm.
you can't change the term "rating" to fit your argument. Rating a player doesnt have to mean that you think he's world class. Just that you think he's a good player, hence "you rate him!".
Judging by he knee jerking on this thread. I can't begin to Imagine what will happen if he scores against us at OT or at emirates. This thread would literally break the whole internet.
Good luck to him but Danny will never be a top quality striker, who cares anyway he has gone now get over it, we have 3 world class strikers that could easily bag 25 goals a season each we also have the exciting Wilson coming through too.
My own opinion after watching him time after time is that while I'd rather keep him, I had no qualms if he decided to leave. Better option for him, better option for us. We could do better than him, he could do better than being the fourth/fifth choice striker at United.You've come to this conclusion based on your poll of majority of fans on the continent or because of your personal view on Welbeck? A player can be highly regarded by fans/coaches without necessary falling into the world class category. Welbeck seems to easily fall into this category. Most people without a personal bias recognize that he's a lot in his locker but, so far has not had a chance to prove if he'll be a top level striker. Thus why most reasonable people are waiting to make final conclusion on the player.
It's early days, just because he scores or just because he misses a few will not prove anything one way or another.
At the end of the day, he didnt score enough. And while we can all sit here and say he would have BECOME a world class striker we need to be more ruthless and cut the fat from the squad and fill it with proven players who will take us back to the top. Now it might looks as though i am suggesting we should discard giving youth a chance im not but i think we need to re-establish a good first team whos philosophy will filter down to the kids.Always going to happen. Every time he scores he'll be the next Henry and when he's rubbish he'll be a busted flush.
Bottom line - he wasn't as good as what we had. Van Gaal was correct in his assessment and is entitled to make that call.
THere you go again making up stuff to fit your agument. Nobody said anything about world class or even top player as rating a player doesn't mean you think he's world class.What the feck are you on about? Your fachts about a non existent interest from Napoli? Your fachts about Guardiola and Klopp mentioning players of the opposition he's about to play? Okay mate... :benitez:
And nah, you know what I meant. Stop being pedantic. Obviously no one doubts he's a good player. Top player? Possibly one day. Top top player? No. World class? In your dreams.
No one other than Wenger and Pochettino wanted him. Tells you a lot about how much people 'rate' him.
wouldn't that mean he's rated??Obviously no one doubts he's a good player.
The idea that we've strengthened Arsenal is a bit strange. I'd much rather they have Welbeck than go after players like Mandzukic, Benzema et al.. who actually score goals.

Yeah, wrong example.
Sarcasm ?absolutely disgusting decision letting go soon to be the best striker in galaxy to top7 contenders. Fecking hell
Pedantry at it's finest. So every good player is 'rated'. There's tonnes of players like Welbeck in Spain, Italy, France. That's what I meant. If Welbeck was being sold, how many big clubs would be after him? Well we already found out the answer. One and that was fecking Arsenal.THere you go again making up stuff to fit your agument. Nobody said anything about world class or even top player as rating a player doesn't mean you think he's world class.
Napoli did admit about inquiring about him and both Klopp and Guardiola singled him out so make of that what you will. As your original point was about nobody on the continent rating him.
and if you say wouldn't that mean he's rated??
