Arsenal?
Welbeck will get the number 9 shirt if he goes their. My mate is an Arsenal supporter and keeps saying how awful their strikers are. Welbeck will fit perfectly into that team and Wenger philosophy. That should be the last team United would want to sell Welbeck to.If he was at another club, his performance will be more noteworthy and I am sure many of us would have wanted him at United. His successful loan at Sunderland and coming through our acedemy to make a breakthrough into our first team should provide foresight into that claim
If Welbz wasnt a manc or english people on here wouldnt have an issue
So we play our best football pre season with him in the team. Right now he looks the best fit for this Mata and two strikers system. I think it needs his pace. There are still question marks over Rooney and RvP's partnership and we'll let him go?
I'll be annoyed if this happens. So many more players that should be off before him. This certainly won't be the transfer window I hoped for..

If this really happens I think my interest in United will drop significantly 
. I hope van Gaal will deny the rumours, it really doesn't make any sense.

In which world?
They play one striker. You're saying he'd get a game regularly over Walcott, Giroud and Sanchez? They're all better players than him. Not to mention the fact that they also have players like Cazorla for the wings?Arsenal?

Like I said, he wouldn't get any more game time there than here. He's really not that good. hard worker, good lad, academy product, but I've never seen him as being anything other than a squad player, which he clearly doesn't want to be, so it's probably best for him to move on.
I'd say he's angling for a move more than anyone, let's not forget it's only a few months since he tried to feck off last.
He's an England international he won't want to put that in jeopady as well. If he drops too far down the PL that could be over for him as well.
This world only last season! Short memories, eh!
You might want to check up on the meaning of the word regularly then.
The fact that all the uk people have been reporting it suggest they were briefed.
I'd love him here, he'd offer a different dimension to Lukaku, and he'd fit right in. Doubt he'd be the main man or starting though unless we played a 4-3-3 with him, Lukaku and Mirallas as the attacking trio - Besic, McCarthy and Barry as the midfield.
That's a part of it but it's not the whole story. I doubt you'd find many on here who would care if Cleverley was the one wanting out.
I am not sure you understand Wenger's philosophy or is even capable of properly assessing a player's ability. From Bergkamp, Van Persie, Adebayor, Kanu, Henry, Ian Wright etc., wengers always loves target man upfront that had great technical ability. If Welbeck goes their, he would not be competing with sanchez or Walcott, but with Giroud. A player that Welbeck is comfortably better than.
I would say he or a striker in his nature would be the finally piece missing for arsenal in order for them to properly challenge for the title.
i can't bring myself to believe this, but if he does go, there is a higher chance that he would fulfill my hopes for him
With your outlay on Lukaku, I don't think you could afford him.
Well he scored in almost all successive games he played, not just 5 goals in one easy game which was already won. It seems ppl like you need to check how regularly he actually played as a striker which as has been pointed out again and again wasn't very often!
Probably not. Loan with an option to buy would be the scenario but you'll probably want to take the immediate cash. If Hull are about to spend 12m on Rhodes i wonder if they'll change their mind and attempt to get Welbeck for a bit higher. Would be a big step down for him though as he should be playing for a european club (although Hull might still make it).
...and then slip on his arse when he sees the goalkeeper
we will know soon if it is true and he leaves it will be the worst day since beckhams departure for me. It really doesn't make sense I wouldn't switch him for dimaria..
Say it ain't so. Please. Absolute joke if we let him go.
If he is going to spurs then fleece Levy for every pound.
People may not be troubled by seeing him leave, but they will be when we're late in a close match and in need of someone to press up high, retain possession, and be a general nuisance of the opponents. Welbeck IMHO is immense in these areas of the game and I can't think of someone off hand who can come off the bench and play this role for us. Yes, his finishing is not up to par for a striker but that is the one area I think is keeping him from being a complete player.
I know he is a local lad so this stings a little but if it means we get Di Maria or someone of that calibre then I'd take that in a heartbeat
Arrogant much?
He's not better than Giroud, that's ridiculous overhyping of one of our players. Nobody who doesn't support Utd would say Welbeck's a better player than Giroud. it's nonsense to suggest it. Now, that's not to say he can't be better than him in the future, because he's far younger, but right now there's no chance he'd 'walk into' that Arsenal side.
Besides, I'm not even sure Giroud will be their main striker this season. It'll likely be Walcott and Sanchez.
He could still do that with Welbeck in the side.
di Maria - Rooney/v. Persie - Welbeck/Januzaj
Mata - Ander Herrera
...
It's not like Januzaj given his age will instantly provide something constantly.Mata - Ander Herrera
...
I'd be really disappointed if he leaves as he offers something completely different to our other senior forwards.
I'm sure he's got goals in his game too but that won't come without a run of games (with an improvement in composure and confidence)... something he may not get here in the coming season with Rooney and RVP the preferred forwards and no European competition providing the opportunity to rotate.

at least he has pace what our other attackers (Roo, RVP) lack. I think it is a mistake to let him go!
If he's sold and Hernandez stays I'll be amazed. He's head and shoulders above Chicharito.
Even though I think he's got enough quality to remain in the squad regardless, I think its important to keep a good amount of Manc players in the squad.
This will be fun in 2-3 years when RvP is gone and Rooney is 32 going on 33 and can't be arsed, or has already asked for another transfer.
You pretty much just described Emile Heskey.
Back up for Mario and Sturridge???
Even an injured van Persie scored more than Welbeck.
I think he'd be perfect for a 433. He offers several different roles tactically so it seems barmy we are letting him go.
That is your opinion, but I prefer mine as I have a good track record of being right. When Welbecks start playing regular upfront for us or any team, I am sure you will come to a realization that what you said is wrong. It seem people have a short memory and only analyze players of their stats. Even then, I would not be surprised If Welbeck had a much better goalscoring ratio than Giroud 'when played as a striker.' Nevertheless, if Arsenal does not get a striker, it might be Walcott or Sanchez upfront. Although, I am sure Wenger would prefer a target man with technical ability leading his front line.
I love Chicha but I would rather we let go of him than Welbeck. Welbeck offers one thing which is seriously lacking in our other three strikers. Pace and the ability to use it with the ball at his feet. Why would we be interesting in selling one of the few attackers left in our squad who could start for us and has pace to burn when it's blatantly obvious we are lacking in that department.
Deary me, what a load of nonsense.
