I like him and feel he'd do a good job for us a player but his injury record is concerning. I'd take him in a heartbeat if he wasn't so injury prone but him and Lallana in the dressing room would potentially be too much of an expensive risk for us.
[Albion] Danny Welbeck, should we? [18/10: we did - one year deal] - *** NEW ONE YEAR DEAL ***

This. We'll have our pick of overpaid under-achievers in 3 weeks time. Or at least those that don't fancy being uprooted from their comfy lifestyle by their commision-hungry agent to a country where they don't ever speak da lingo and where they might run the risk of having to eat some of that foreign muck that passes for food over there. Oh, and to have to conduct themselves like Elite Sportsmen. Which is just about every country other than here really

We have 30 days until the PL-EFL window shuts so no need to be so hasty.

Seems to be the type we would take a punt on in the hope that they stay Injury free.

You're mad. Origi is a much better player and even if only as good, age is on his side. Best we will get out of Wellbeck is a few Murray (last 2 seasons) moments.

Ings was a sicknote until he wasn't anymore!
Man U, Arsenal, England..... His ability is not in question. He'd be fantastic if he's still hungry.

All down to that Inner Engine. Some players have it, HAVE to win everything right down to the pre-season team bonding crazy golf. Other players are quite happy to self-furlough for as much of their very short, very privileged career as they can get away with

Few last season's moments?
Leeds just spent 36 million Inc add ons on a Spanish international 29 year old with questionable injury risks.
Seems like Wellbeck a former England International has been around forever but he is also just 29.
He looked fit, sharp and injury free at season end. If he stays that way 10+ goals no problems.
Only unsure thing is if he'd be a free or cost as wiki has 'undisclosed' contract length at Watford.
Could be a very smart piece of business
100% this get him in .... Not much downside as a season long loan

Why not get Sturridge whilst we’re at it, then the three of them can reminisce on their England days whilst in physio room (ibelive West Ham want rid of Wilshire as well so make it a foursome) earning a fortune!! Still if ( and we’re in apples and nuts terrrority) Welbeck is fit then potentially a great buy / loan

It doies depend on what we are looking for .. if its cover for what we have, he would be amazing IF he plays. The fact that he is still at watford really does tell a story. He cannot be your permanent solution, BUT he could be an asset if you only expect to get a small number of appearances from him. I know many on here were a very clear "no" when I tentatively suggested him when Watford went down, but the context may have changed if we havent been able to secure the ones we wanted as long-term..

Anyone of the bottom 6 after Oct 5 will likely feel the same.
