Very good signing, hopefully he's over his injuries and ready-to-go! Looking forward to seeing him play.
[Albion] Danny Welbeck, should we? [18/10: we did - one year deal] - *** NEW ONE YEAR DEAL ***

From what I read, he had a £5m buy-out clause in his contract. I assume he was on fairly decent wages, and I guess Welbeck may have bought himself out of the buy-out (at a figure significantly below £5m) to enable him to go elsewhere as a free agent, and receive a signing-on fee which covered whatever deal he did with Watford. Purely guesswork!

Have we ever had a striker once transferred for £18m

Just exactly what I was thinking. We obviously have no idea about the current state of his ankle but it can be fixed and get better.
Also for him, this is a great opportunity to get his career back on track again

Not at all happy with this signing. I still held hope that there was a proper striking option coming after Zeqiri. This hope is now extinguished.

Could be a great signing, really hope this works well
Wow, surprised by that. He looked good towards the end of last season, should be a decent option at least.

Fit and firing he will be a major asset.

Additionally this has the distinctive odour of Plan B about it. I'd love to know who the real targets were... maybe we'll find out in January I hope!!!

When have we as a club had 3 England internationals in the side? Mark of the progress that such a quality signing is being debated!

A 12 month deal.
Yes a stop gap between now and an “on plan” signing but nothing wrong with that.
If he is fit it’s a good deal all round & will help bring Zeqiri on

I'm pleased! Loads of experience at the highest level.
Our current strikers will no doubt learn a few things from him, and I can see him banging in a few goals too.

First to admit that I was one of those not in favour of bringing him in - felt it was restricting the opportunities for Connolly to play and develop (just my opinion, that's all) - but now he's here, welcome to Brighton Mr. Welbeck. I hope you have a great season with us.
