If Welbeck does a Sturridge, LVG will have a shit load of criticism.

At least it's only Arsenal - won't be that difficult to get him back.
Really?
Flop? Involved in 12 goals in 18 games so far since joining us. Not his fault there is feck all movement around him so far, but that will change very soon.
slightly, just slightly into hyperbole mode their pal.
He wants to play football. Fine - loan him out with a view to taking over from RVP if he proves himself. Or, if RVP is as injured as people say, just keep him and play him. He scored 6 in 6 or something when RVP was injured last season!
True, but I didn't mean style of play. I meant more as in he doesn't score goals type of player a la Heskey.
Don't understand strengthening a rival we were all laughing when RVP signed for us, okay if he had to sign for Arsenal why the hell only £4M more than sodding Ross McCormack.
Reading this reminded me of back in 2007 when people were talking about Welbeck being our best prospect and being a very promising forward, particularly when he first appeared in the first team during the 2008/09 season. Now, it's Wilson's turn to show that promise and potential. Let's see if he can realise it or go down the same path as Welbeck.
Gutted. Interested to hear Rene's thoughts seen as he coached him from a really young age.
I don't think he is. The problem I have with this transfer is that we are strengthening a side that we are in direct competition with for a Champions League spot. Giroud is out until the end of the year/beginning of next year and they're stuck with the erratic and inexperienced Sanogo as their first choice, so why give them Welbeck? For all his flaws, Welbeck offers Arsenal better link-up play and hold-up play than Giroud and Sanogo and gives them a different dimension in terms of the runs he makes. He obviously has the right to leave the club if Van Gaal has told him he's not a key player or whatever, but selling him to a rival (in their current position) shouldn't happen.
Are people seriously saying we should have sold Juan Mata rather than Danny Welbeck.. I am done.
Fecking infuriating we've bent over and given up Welbeck for so little. He'll do a Sturridge and become a star at Arsenal - all he ever needed was a chance. We'll find a way not to sign Falcao permanently and end up regretting this.
Brilliant work by Arsenal. Welbeck is the sort of striker who can add some heart and grit for them as well as being very all-round. Terrible, absolutely shockingly poor decision from us to let him go.
We have got rid of Kagawa, Welbeck, Nani and Zaha - Our four best wide options of the last year. Now we can't even play with wingers if we want to if we have an injury on Januzaj/Di Maria.

I don't know why he wants to go, probably not as big a fan of the club than I thought he was.
I'm furious, everyone is going to see him kick on now. He has all the skills his game just needs polishing by playing upfront week in week out. He may very well end up being the reason why we don't get into the top 4. Strengthening a direct rival makes no sense t me, hopefully they don't get a dm or a cb.
He should be worth the same as Luke Shaw.
I'll hitch my wagon to this statement. We saw it ourselves last year.
I'm going to "I told you so" all over the place when he clicks for Arsenal.
I'd rather we sell Rooney. Please don't be true £16m is such bad business.
Err, he doesn't get to play much at a crucial age for his career.
I don't want to make a rash decision to bring him in right now, only for him to get injured before his next game.
Bags of pace, one of the fastest in the league, which is exactly what you need. Great link-up play. Hard working and good at winning the ball.
Weaknesses: Loses his head in front of goal and can look sloppy at times. A little erratic.
Mata has done nothing at this club, but I guess it's the other players fault that Mata has been hiding?
Agree with this completely.
He wants to go, though I would rather have sold him elsewhere.
For all of you saying that £16m is a good fee, they wanted £15m for a 29 year old injury prone back up defender, yet we're selling our rivals someone who's 23, home grown and lots of potential for a million more? Yeah that's a shit deal whichever way you look at it.
Woodward is useless at selling players it seems.

No he won't, and no we won't, £16 million is a good price.
He's been here six months ffs.
He does everything but finish.
You said it man, totally agree.
But he does when he gets a run of games when he's in form. He did so last season before he was dropped by Moyes for RVP and Rooney who weren't exactly playing at their best.
Fair cnut Welbz. What's fecked me off about this transfer is a couple things. 1) Welbeck isn't shit. He has just suffered from not being played week in week out (see Sturridge) - although the jury is out, now he'll be playing regularly at Arse 2) He's English and a boy-hood United fan!!!
2 has definitely made this transfer 10x worse. It's the equivalent of signing Wilshere.
We got Falcao though! Spanish is officially the no.1 language of the first team.

It's not only about quality, there's image and sentiments too.
I fail to see any similarities between Danny Welbeck and James Wilson. The later is a fox in the box, he is a natural goal scorer.. Danny whilst shows good attributes in some areas never struck me as someone who will score you bags of goals.
Look at all the tweets. They keep mentioning BBC when clearly BBC hasn't announce anything about that 16 million deal.
He's a potentially world class player who plays the game as though he's tethered by a bungee cord 30 yards away from goal. Constantly dropping back, avoiding the direct option but bringing others into play. That's not necessarily a bad thing, mind you. He's amazing at everything else so he's never hiding from the game.
Yeah, and I rather we kept Welbeck because I don't see Mata being a good player for us, not needed.
