Just you wait and see...I don't want him to go but that genuinly had me laughing
16m sounds about right.
How? How can you possibly be more gutted about this.
Ugh. Just when I thought it was off.
He's apparently been the one pushing for this deal to Arsenal. Only thing disappointing about this is that if we don't sell to Arsenal, they're stuck with Sonogo till January.

He sure is.
Still, it's an unnecessary risk. He's clearly talented albeit probably nowhere near as much as some caftards think.
It's because he is one of our own blah blah.. the sort of thing that's held us back for years. We've tonight swapped a guy who doesn't score goals for one that does whilst promoting the best prospect in our youth team, I fail to see what the fuss is about.
How do we manage to over pay for all our signings but get pissed on by buying clubs whenever we sell a player?
The same amount would probably get us Carvalho & most likely Vidals left-leg..
He suits Arsenal to a tee. Great for Danny, great for Arsenal, might not matter to United, he clearly wasn't in our plans if we're going the Falcao route and are fine with him going to Arsenal.
Absolutely gutted.
Absolutely gutted.
We'll see won't we.. Give me Falcao over Danny Welbeck all day long.
16m? Is that it? Why don't we seem able to sell players for decent prices?
So are we getting a good player?
What are his strengths and weaknesses?
What are his strengths and weaknesses?
Welbeck's been wanting to leave for a couple of years now. Seeing Sturridge scoring for fun at Liverpool would have just compounded his feelings. If he's adamant about leaving permanently to Arsenal, not a lot we can do.
Love it if we pulled out last minute leaving Arsenal with nothing.
We could've hurt Arsenal. We could of made top four easier.
I'm now sat here hoping Danny is a failure. Hope he does as well as Silvestre.

But disappointing if it happens but if he wants to leave then better to sell rather than have an unhappy player. Bit disappointing from Danny if he does want to leave but nevermind.
A good footballer but his finishing leaves a lot to be desired and to those saying he wasn't given a proper chance he had a full season up front with Rooney in 11/12 and he scored 12 goals in all competitions. Not quite good enough when it mattered but it's always disappointing when a youth product departs.

Strengths: everything
Weaknesses: not being a foreign 40million pound player so not rated by idiots.
Well, he has to think about himself and his own career. A move to Arsenal could see him really fulfill his potential. He will start there every week.
Loved Danny. Fee seems about right.
Why sell Welbeck? I would much rather we sold Mata or someone who has been awful for us.
Should have gotten more for him, imo. He is not even 24 yet.
Ludicrous.
For a non-scoring striker, £16m is great business.
Arsenal are desperate though.
Hes english, hes young, hes an international striker, hes being sold to a rival. That should make it around 25m

He has wanted to leave us for a while now. Once LVG told him he was not one of his key players, its easy for him to make the next mental step and totally divorce himself from us for a fresh new start.
A great personality with a romantic story but sadly not good enough for what we require of him right now. I think Arsenal will help him get to the next level that he could not achieve with us for several varied reasons. However, I don't think he has what it takes to make it to top player status.
I wish him well.
saw it coming. He wanted out last year and this year too. 4th striker and 16m is not that bad. I like him as a player, but people are sad because he came through the youth system. I rarely have a favourite player, seems like Danny is a fans favourite, which is understandable. With Shinji, was disappointed with the price and obviously wasted talent.
Strong, fast, athletic, good at holding play up, good tekkers, but for a striker, can't hit a barndoor with a banjo. A much better athletic Heskey, if you like.
He has not showed it at United though. Flop so far.
Christ, I didn't really give a bollocks about Welbeck leaving, until it was to Arse, cause now there's the possibility he will actually become a top player at one of our direct rivals and not a club below us. I'm gone from wishing him a good career, to wishing him failure, sadly.

Homegrown Man United player overrated on a Man United form? Never.
Will Welbeck's value on FF automatically go up when he signs for Arsenal? Or do they just do it based on form?
He's feck all like Heskey.
He wants to go.
Jury out - he can hardly be called a flop with the number of goals he's scored, but he's not lit things up with the magic he is capable of. Still relatively early days though.
But I would rather seem him got than Danny.
