Just what we need.

Not good news

 

[Sheebo]

Bad news. Weird how there’s reports of Bissouma training and playing when I was told by about 6 posters on NSC we won’t see him for a while

Gutted for Welbz, he's had such a tough time of it throughout his career, when he gets on the pitch he's shown just what a class act he is.

 

[amexer]

Are these a recurrence of injuries he has had throughout his career ? We took a chance with him and it is not working out.

More like sixty six posters, there was a whole thread based purely on the assumption that Biss wasn't going to be playing for a while. Good old NSC.

As for Danny Welbeck, yes a great shame, but hardly completely unexpected.

Well l don't think things have worked out too badly up until now. Let's face it, we knew he was never going to be fit enough to play every game Shirley? The odd lengthy absence was always going to be a distinct possibility.

Recovered from a knee injury and training are the only reports I've seen.

There was a standing joke for years whilst Welbeck was at Man U and Arsenal, that he often disappeared between November and March. Seems like this may have finally come to haunt us. Such a shame for him(and us)

 

[Icy Gull]

It was a risk, we all knew that and he has played a bit and been good for the most part. Is anyone actually shocked?

Good luck to him and hopefully they can sort him out so that he can keep playing, even if only for limited minutes. Quality player on his day

yes, we've had a good stand from him based on previous, and well worth it.

just as well we got that backup striker in the summer.

I must have missed him playing. Where was that?

Agree but thats the problem of only having 2 decent strikers. Can see one of u23s getting a game over Christmas

Yes, it is a shame - one less option for team selection. We are short of out-and-out strikers, but when we're playing three at the back, with wing backs, it's more a question of playing three attacking players up front - and we;ve got the likes of Trossard, March and Richards who can play in that system - pretty sure Moder and Mac Allister would be more than capable there too.
Welbeck's injury is not good news - but it's not the end of the world either.

 

[Easy 10]

Well, we knew the risks (but did nothing about it).

Perhaps we'll see him before easter.

In the, unlikely imo, event that we do let him play it would be a really bad idea in away games whilst this is ongoing. Can you imagine the stick that he is going to get?

Tent and a shotgun?

Bench at best in my opinion, although with Potter you never can tell. Personally l think Connolly will be our "go to" if we are a striker light over the Christmas period, or else we will just start games with a false number nine.

I’m presuming Sarmiento will be groomed as Welbeck’s replacement?
