Anyone?

What deals we've made over the summer. It pays to have a smart businessman doing your negotiating.
Devastated with this.
Really hope Welbeck has instigated this and insisted. Otherwise I'm very disappointed with LVG and the club. Horrible way to end the window.

Not only are we strengthening Arsenal, but we have once again shown ourselves in incapable of striking a good deal.
I am one those who is sad seeing a youth product and local lad go. He is or was United through and through.
Welbeck at least has pace what we really lack up front and he is still young enough to improve his goalscoring record.
What is when Falcao joins Madrid after one season, what is obviously his dream? Welbeck, despite being 4 th choice now could play a part when RVP is injured and we keep Planing 2 up front.

That Di Maria bloke was good tbf.
That's why we wanted to loan him out instead of selling him. Welbeck pushed for the transfer.
Welbeck can beat a man but can't finish, so what's the point in that?
True, but then we've never sold a superstar like Mata, Ozil or Fabregas in this new day and age of '£30-mil-is-cheap'. 'Spose Veron was and we sold him for £20 odd mil in 2003 to Chelsea having been not that good. The one true superstar we've sold was Ronaldo. Beckham for £25 was a lot back then too. Welbeck for 16mil, while being a certified shit deal for us, isn't surprising.
Might have something to do with the feck off wages we seem to give everyone?
He'll be the next Daniel Sturridge.
They've got Sanchez, they've got Podolski, J Campbell and even Sanogo.
Will Welbeck make such a difference? I'm not sure.
well soon find out if we've ballsed up!
I still think Liverpool is the spot to steal.
Starting for us with the quality of striker we have?
He won't bang them in for Arsenal. People thinking he'll be a Sturridge, he won't be. He's not ruthless enough and doesn't have a goalscoring instinct. Sturridge was always miles better.
He's 23 and was rarely given a chance to play upfront. I would happily take him over Rooney right now.
If we can't finish 4th with the players and manager we have, it won't be Danny Welbeck that would have caused that. We've signed players who improve us and offer us a cutting edge while throwing in a world class proven winger and goalscorer.
It's sad that Welbeck felt the need to say he wants to leave but it's life, there will be players who will take his place. Wilson is a far better finisher and has a lot more potential in my opinion.
Yes he does. There's not a lot wrong with his game that can't be fixed.
This will haunt us in the next few years when he's clicks with Arsenal. Direct top 4 rivals in desperate need of a striker should be made to bleed not get a bargain.
This can't finish nonsnse is going to make a lot of people look stupid.
Let's hope it's just a bullshit from BBC
I'd ask Welbeck or Balotelli but that might be a daft question on this forum given one's a red and the other has played for two major rivals.
I think Wenger will be happy here, a fast strong striker. And Welbeck will sleep well playing in the champs league with that midfield behind him.

Go back and watch some of our games like Bayern last year, compare the performance of Danny and Wayne and tell me who the passenger is and who is doing the carrying.
What bargaining power did we have here after signing Falcao when he is adamant to move permanently to Arse ?
Bambi Welbeck? love the Manchester lad....but he has frustrated so often.
good luck at the Arse. rather he went there than Spurs.

Jesus are you joking. He's a striker who doesn't score. That is the sole purpose of the sport for his position.
Ridiculously good signing for Arsenal. 16m for a player that can play at any level
I'm disappointed.
£16m 
Woohoo!
Woohoo!
He kept passing the ball out of touch and barely created anything. Di Maria gets an easier ride because he's new, but he really wasn't that great.
Welbeck has pace/skill/tactical discipline all of which Rooney lacks. He's very underrated because he was never given the time through the middle instead shunted to a wide role.
Good Lord. The overreaction from people on here because of the sale of a squad player for 16 million is priceless. We've brought in a far, far, far, far, FAR superior forward, and got 16 million for a squad member. Fair enough, local lad, but good lord.
Good deal, well done Louis, well done Ed.

I'll put him in my fantasy team now methinks.
A sad day when you lose a proper home grown player who always looked like he'd make the grade, but I can't help but feel some relief for Danny if this goes through. He's obviously been aching for a proper chance to prove himself in his favourite position, and he'll get the chance to do that at the highest level at the Gunners.
I think we'll end up with egg on our face looking back on this deal. He'll do very, very well.

Damn, that's a fantastic video.
Keane really was something else, loved his comments at the end.
Can we not just give them back RvP?
I hope there is a buy back option, just incase.
Yeah, there's some massive overreactions here. He'll get at most about 12-15 goals from them I'd expect, and he isn't guaranteed a starting place once Giroud returns for them, even though he has a better chance here than there. He's a decent signing and I'd rather we didn't sell to a rival, but I'd be surprised if he makes a momentous difference in the top 4 battle. I'd certainly rather we had Falcao and they had Welbeck than the other way around.
Assumptions he's going to "do a Sturridge" are a bit off the mark for me. Sturridge is a completely different player to him and is a much better goalscorer. He could do what Sturridge did, but it's a bit of a baseless assumption in some ways.
Honestly, if he wasn't a youth player then people wouldn't be anywhere near as bothered about this.
It's been a long time since I've seen you posting. All well?
But not score at any level.
Hopefully he is as poor as some of you say then.
Top 4?
Agent Welbeck.

You know apart from creating our only 3 chances, he barely created anything.
