We're strengthening our direct rivals with whom we're going to compete for 4th place and needed a striker badly. Fecking joke. Woodward is an idiot.
It really is a hard one to understand. He'll be superb for them.

This. Let them struggle in their search for a striker and play Sanogo up front, who looks like a donkey. If Arsenal don't get a decent striker then no top four for them. We just helping them.
Meh. If a club tell a player he's not wanted then he has the right to agitate for his preferred destination. They've no right to dictate where he goes.
Where will Welbeck play then? Giroud isn't much but at least he's scored 20 goals in a season, I understand Giroud is injured, but when he's fit again I expect it to be a decent battle.The same Hernandez who's just moved to a team where he's likely to be on the bench?
Hernandez.
What makes you think Welbeck will be good for them? He has been struggling to score goals for us the last couple of seasons.I understand the argument that he might suite Wenger's system but still I do not see him scoring 10+ goals for them, forget him being their top goal scorer.
Really? I'd be laughing if we got that, and so would most people. He's a good player, but £24m is fairly extreme.
And his move is nothing short of farcical. At least Welbeck is after a move that will benefit his career. The former is a waster.
This is the worst day of my life.
He'd be better than Sanogo.
You'd think if he's been told he's not in Van Gaal's plans here he'd be actively seeking a club where he'd get a regular game so he can make the best of it and hopefully develop his career. If he doesn't find a club tonight what's he going to do until at least January - hang around not getting a game?That is something I will never agree with
Another weirdo.
You think Arsenal getting Rooney is preferable to Arsenal getting Welbeck?

I knew him as a kid, we were in the same year at primary, even kicked around a tennis ball around the yard a bit with him (easier to sneak in than a football, it wasn't allowed - concrete yard). He's a good lad.
Erm...yes for me
I think Welbeck is a cracking player and I love seeing youth products in the side.
And the added issue with him moving to a league rival makes it a million times worse. So erm...yes. Just yes
Agree. However I also can't get on board with being upset with a player for wanting the best move for his career either. As if he's meant to say "oh thanks Van Gaal for not wanting me in the squad. Hull City on loan for a year? Oh yeah, no problem, I'll just give Wenger a ring and tell him I'm not interested because the club would rather I move to a shit team instead".Find it really strange the way people see this sort of thing from the players view. Like they want good things for footballers who aren't Manchester United players (any more). Can't relate to that mindset at all.
What about him? It's not a good move for Hernandez.Hernandez.
Medical done, but a deal is far from done.
I imagine we are playing hard ball, and rightly so. I hope we are making ridiculous demands, Football Manager style.
Were you happy when Heinze wanted to go to Liverpool? Fergie would never sell Welbeck to Arsenal. He'd tell him to feck off.
He's 23, England international. Every other English player is worth more simply because of that, same goes for our players. Clubs are willing to pay £8 million for Cleverley lets not forget.
Cut up rn lads, best move for everyone but I love Danny .

He does have that right, and we have the right to be pissed of with him for doing it.
Job security - the knowledge he's not just going to be punted back to a club that doesn't want him at the end of the loan period if he doesn't cut it while on loan.Can someone explain - from the player's perspective - why a permanent move might be preferable to a loan? Signing on fee?
Not particularly. But that's because it was Liverpool. I don't have the same feelings toward Arsenal.
Plus, Heinze wasn't told by the club he wasn't wanted. He wanted to go himself.
