[Albion] Danny Welbeck, should we? [18/10: we did - one year deal] - *** NEW ONE YEAR DEAL ***

[WilburySeagull]

Last season:

Lallana: 8 starts in all comps, 14 appearances as sub, 1 goal ( v Manchester United).

Wellbeck: 10 starts, 10 sub appearances, 3 goals (v Swansea, Norwich, Arsenal)..

Why are you comparing these two? We didnt bring Adam in as a striker whereas Welbeck....

Okay, it's The Sun, but they are currently reporting...

"West Ham are priced at 11/2 to sign the former England international, as they lead Aston Villa, Newcastle and Fulham in the bookies' market."

Time to close this thread?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

James said we have absolutely no interest in Welbeck.

Interesting, the Giant Peach has said otherwise

Daily Mail reporting that we're interested. But I guess they will be linking us with any strikers that may be available.

Danny Welbeck, should we? . . .

Ideal for a one year deal if we are to resume our search for a ‘Nunez’ in January. We’d not really want someone like Josh King who would want to be here for 4+ years on a King’s ransom would we?

Deacon Blue?

One hit wonder? Hardly!

Dignity"
"Loaded"
"When Will You (Make My Telephone Ring)"
"Chocolate Girl"
"Real Gone Kid"
"Wages Day"
"Fergus Sings the Blues"
“I’ll never fall in love again”

To name but a few

(I’m a bit of a fan seen them must be near 20 times over the last 30 years!)

Neither Deacon Blue, nor Danny Wilson were one hit wonders. Nor were they indie bands in the true sense of the word, both being on major labels. James were an indie band (although I think that Blanco y Negro was one of those indie labels set up by a major). They weren't bland back in the day. Stutter is a fine album and their 'One Man Clapping' is one of the great underrated live albums. Johnny Yen and Burned were particular stand outs. Skulldugery on their first album was a song about insects eating someone's head from the inside. Definitely not bland back then.

By the way, it seems clear that, barring a bad injury before the deadline, we won't be signing anyone from the EFL, nor any free agents.

I click on the link hoping for Danny Welbeck speculation and end up pondering on whether Danny Wilson’s A Girl I Used To Know Qualifies as a hit.
God bless nsc.

But I meant 'The Second Summer Of Love.'

We must have crossed paths at one of those gigs!

Definitely not a one-hot wonder, but Chocolate Girl was awful. I had to look it up - it didn't make the Top 40.

Love Deacon Blue not as much as Duran Duran but still a big fan .

Not one hit wonders, but I'm guessing a lot of people only know the woo woo song and won't know what it's called either.

Somebody else said they had more or less identical records last season so I thought I'd look it up and see what the facts were. Force of habit.

You misread - we have *short strikers*.

Danny Welbeck, should we? . . .

The Sun now picking up on the Mail exclusive:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/12918236/danny-welbeck-brighton-watford/amp/

Not sure if that makes it less likely?

Whatever, I’m in as this would be a great stop-gap to protect from injuries/suspension until January comes when the window will re-open and we can chase the likes of Edouard again plus have possible options on Andone and Tau.

Welbeck also offer something different to what we already have.

Good King was mentioned too. But we’ve seen so many of these articles all summer and it seems it was only Nunez we were seriously interested in (he just scored after coming on for Uruguay after 2 mins but eventually disallowed by VAR for a handball in build up btw)
