Don't wait for me!
I’m sure it’s been mentioned already but maybe he’s holding out (if he is) to see if we sign anyone better. He needs to start at his age.
Oh agree. That’s why I’m saying for football reasons we surely win. The only reason he’ll be choosing another team will be for financial improvements. I don’t see a better placed club then us, ie a top 6 side, coming in for him.

He might have different ideas though. He might understand that he's already set up for the rest of his life. He might want to play as much football as he can, at the highest level that he can.
I do realise that, at the moment, your interpretation is the more likely.

I don't think that is true, is it? I thought it was established on here a few years ago that in football, it has become a "thing" that players coming to the end of their contracts at clubs, get an additional month's pay if they haven't already signed a new contract with another club (goodness knows why that became standard, but I'm under the impression it has become the norm).
Am I wrong?
You had your honeymoon before you signed your marriage contract? Good man, always best to have a trial period

No you are right.
However I’ve only ever heard it applying to players who have been ‘released’
So I don’t know if the same applies if you have been offered a new contract and not signed it ?
But it absolutely exists in some form.

What was the injury he sustained at the Man City game ? Could be that's holding everything up , nobody knows but it would be nice to get his signature for another season at least .
Starting next season without Wellbeck and not adding to what we have is a tad risky .

We wouldn't have made contact with Welbeck's agent as he was still under contract with Watford when we missed out on Nunez. There is very little chance he was a potential target until he was released from that contract on October 5th. From the time he became a free agent to him signing with us was less than 2 weeks.

He did well for us last year. I doubt that we are offering him top dollar and my guess would be a two year contract. I imagine he is considering his options.

They cant really add him in that until he's officially our player, even if a deal was 99% done.

Yeah, that's true. Although Andone, Tau, Zeqiri, Caicedo & Karbownik are all contracted for next season and have been left off too so not sure what the criteria for being included is.
Danny Welbeck signs a new one year deal 
https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/2177528/welbeck-signs-new-deal/
Brighton & Hove Albion are delighted to confirm that Danny Welbeck has signed a new one-year contract with the club.
The 30-year-old initially joined Albion in October 2020 on a one-year contract, going on to score six goals and assisting three times in 24 Premier League outings.
Albion head coach Graham Potter said, “We’re delighted that he’s with us for next season. Danny has demonstrated what is expected of a top professional from the moment he arrived here. As soon as the season finished, extending his stay at the club was a top priority.
“He is a brilliant role model to have around the place and his experience at the very top end of the game is invaluable for helping us continuing to improve as a team."
Welbeck began his career with boyhood club Manchester United, going on to win the Premier League, the League Cup and Community Shield both on two occasions, as well as the FIFA Club World Cup.
He departed for Arsenal in a £16 million move in 2014 where another trophy followed as the Gunners lifted the FA Cup in 2017.
His time at the Emirates came to an end in 2019, before spending a season with Watford.
The striker also has 42 England caps to his name, scoring on 16 occasions.

Wow, I'm very surprised that he has signed only a one year deal with us at this stage of the summer. Surprised but delighted for us.

That's cheered me up. An important part of our jigsaw.
Danny brings a sense of stability and provides valuable experience.
Good work Brighton.
