Our new #9
He had his chance last year, when RVP was injured. Then when Rooney was injured for a while. Football is a cruel world but when your chance omes you have to take and take it well. Players like Wilson just have it. He had one chance in the first team adn he scored two goals. He came on against MK Dons for 15 minutes and did more than Chicha and Welbz almost scoring brilliant twice too. Sadly, we can't have link-up strikers in LVG's teams. The Link-up players must be finishers as well.
Finishing strikers have an instinct in front of goal. Even if they're played on the wing a lot, finishing is instinctual. Rene Muelensteen said in SSN today that he wasn't a finisher but more of a very good link-up player. He'll do well at Arsenal, but he's not going to turn into Henry.
Still he'll do well. Loved his attitude.
When will Blind's number be announced?
Suppose it will be no.15 but could be any from 14, 15, 17, 19, 22, 26, 27, 29

I think LVG told the players who would get games, and who wouldn't, then let the players decide what to do
That is exactly what happened as told to us by... LVG himself! Welbeck is the one that decided to leave. We didn't willingly bandy about his price tag. He's 23 and in need of game time.
The second paragraph is spot on. He isn't a natural finisher and that's what the top clubs want when they play 4-3-3.
Not having a great forward cost Arsenal last year and for me could cost them this year again. Welbeck could find himself in the same position at Arsenal next year that he was this because sooner or later they should bring in a big name striker in the vein of an Ozil or Sanchez.

Welbeck's mix of strength, technique and pace is very dangerous and hard to come by.. If his finishing was even just a tad better he'd be among the best in the world.. I think like Sturridge all he was missing was a regular run in the 1st team as the main striker to build up his confidence.. He never really got that and can't blame him for wanting to move to a big club looking for that.
Will surely be ahead of Giroud at Arsenal and no way was he going to get much game time with Rooney, RvP and now, Falcao at the club. He'd have to wait for one or more of them to get injured to even get a look in.

Why has twitter gone all quite? Where's Vidal? Is he not coming?
Who's this Vidal chap you speak of?
Rojo, Jones, Evans, Smalling, Blackett.. Got 5 there. Argue a case for Blind, Carrick and even Fletcher being used for cover.
He wont improve/have a chance to prove himself if he stayed here as 6th choice for a 2 man role (assuming we are going back to 4-3-3 or some variation of that)
Good move for him. Some on the caf think he isnt good enough. I think he might have a chance. A year of premier league football should be a good test.
Any news on Vidal, Strootman or Carvalho? Need to lay the groundwork for muppeting early on for the January window...
Did we get the Lukas Steegman transfer to go through?
Vidal has dodgy knees, so nobody wants to touch him, Juve obviously trying to get a market going. Sporting want to get rid of Carvalho but, despite dropping price, nobody wanted to spend that money on him. Strootman is a shoe in for January if he recovers from his ACL, although Roma claim he'll cost £70 million or something...
But Anderson Young Cleverley are?
Nobody wanted Anderson, we accepted bids for Cleverley but they fell through because of his wage demands. Young... obviously Van Gaal likes him to fill in at wing back.
No, they are so bad so we couldn't move them. At least 2 of them.
Still can't believe we've signed Mata, Herrera, Di Maria, Falcao, Blind, Rojo and Shaw in the last two transfer windows.
Here's hoping it continues.

Next transfer window: Strootman, Vidal and Hummels. Its ON.
Credit to Woodward too, he really delivered. Watching the space paid off.
I'm not sure he was ever going to be at the level we needed, even his debut last year was a bit of a surprise. Good luck to him, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on Leicester's games.
I'm not sure that it's that clear cut. Giroud may not be top level but he's a finisher, the one thing Danny isn't. Welbeck needs to show he's a goal scorer whilst Giroud is injured to ensure he becomes first choice.
I think Woody deserves a pat on the shoulder BUT the big 2 names who came (Di Maria, Falcao) were pushed out of there clubs which made it easier for Ed, to really prove himself he will need to buy a player a team don't want to sell! Still not taking away what he done this window.Next transfer window: Strootman, Vidal and Hummels. Its ON.

How does him leaving help anything ? You'd rather Fletcher, Anderson, Fellaini get minutes ?
Let's pray.
Good news. Was hoping for this. Nothing to lose. If he does well, we get a chance to exercise option if needed. If not, we have let him progress as far as he can by letting him leave for first team action than spending one more year at u21s.
Probably Giggs. He's always mentioned he thought some of the youth/reserve team deserved a chance sooner rather than later. Personally I wouldn't like to see him back until he has learnt not to give TV interviews whilst chewing gum, with his mouth open at that! Good luck to him and Powel at Leicester.
I think Fellani can actually do a job to be honest
I saw that, he came across a real tool.
Yeah, afterall that's what is important as a professional footballer. Let's hope that it's part of his development eh?
I mean who ever amounted to anything chewing gum in interviews?

Our Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done,
in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our Daley Blind,
And taketh away our Cleverley,
And others alike.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine will bring us the kingdom,
the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Young's needed at wingback for depth. I think he told the other two they can leave (Cleverley definitely) but they decided not to.
Yeah Young/Valencia were very impressive pre-season at wing back. If we stick with this system it will be very handy to have both of them covering Shaw/Rafa. That being said, Young needs to take a pay cut!
