As a player/ striker he would be an improvement on what we have but would he be VFM taking into account wages and his injury record, I doubt it very much. He seems more of a Palace type signing to me.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Danny Welbeck, should we? [18/10: we did - one year deal] - *** NEW ONE YEAR DEAL ***

- Start date
I dont disagree.
My point being, Is Danny Welbeck good enough to play for Brighton Yes.
Can we afford him. Probably not.
Will he stay fit. Most certainly not.
What I have seen in other threads. Players like Welbeck and Giroud arent good enough and we would be made to even consider them. Which is utter tripe.

Running alongside the Welbeck story is the one about Balotelli. Apparently, he's left Marseille, he's available on a free and he's been offered to West Ham. His agent is touting him at £70K per week. 41 goals in 73 matches in the French top flight indicate he's still got it, and he's interested in coming back to the Prem. That's going to tempt a few chairmen.
Is it PotG?

Over paid, over rated sick note. That's a 'No'.
But nobody on this thread had said he wasn't good enough when you posted that, and since then only Megazone has - and he's a moron.

Danny Welbeck, should we? . . .
Welbeck is a brilliant player, massively under rated. He would be a fantastic signing for us but as said already a number of times, it won’t happen due to wages.
As someone has already said, this has West Ham written all over it.

loan; back to his original club; consummate professional; consummate professional; briefly fun then fell out with the manager; never played for a big club
My feeling is that some players strive to be the best they can, get to the top, but if they don't make it there they lose the motivation on the way down.. so someone like Vicente was a massive success at the top, and playing for lesser clubs at the end of his career is just a bit of fun. But Palace signed Benteke hoping to get the Villa version, but instead got someone perhaps thinking he'd had his chance, it hadn't worked out and the motivation to be the best dropped away
Its a massive generalisation I know, with exceptions all over the place, but I'd prefer to fill the squad with players aspiring to be Liverpool or Arsenal players one day, rather than ones who've been there and fallen back.
Maybe Welbeck would be a star for us, who knows, a lot to prove - I tend to like rolling the dice and hoping we unearth the next Ronaldo
But all coming towards the end of their careers, and all successful signings for us, like it or not.
And we could roll the dice with Wellbeck and unearth our next Glenn Murray, which wouldn't be a bad outcome either!

There has to be an exception to own 'no known players' rule...
...and I think you might have found it.
It also has a bearing on how many games he actually managed to play which isnt a lot is it.
No this is begging for a Villa signing

This is from a previous thread at the end of the season slating free transfers Welbeck and Giroud both got slated. People posting on this thread were some who said it. If I could give a shit id try and find it.
I definitely would have said Giroud was shitehouse and a complete waste of money.
(Just in case you have a change of mind
)
Well, if it’s absolute top class English Strikers who would struggle to be fit for more than half a dozen games on £3m+ per year, I’ll see your Daniel Sturridge and raise you an Andy Carroll!

About £100m of English strikers available ‘free’ this summer. The mental thing is 3 clubs will end up blowing £10m+ each on signing these lottery winners.
