[Albion] Danny Welbeck

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Mr Lion says:

Never thought I would be happy to hear that a 33 year old Danny Welbeck has signed for another year, in the year of our Lord 2024, but its fair to say he has been fantastic and beaten all my expectations when we orginally signed him.

Mr Lion says:

He's waited until Naylor has said that we are in negoiations with Danny over a new deal, so when the deal is announced he can use this post to make it look like he's ITK and beaten everyone to the scoop.

Is this the same Mr Lion fella that drives around in the Bentley?

PS great news about Danny if true, he is a fantastic team player and great ambassador for the club and role model for the younglings!!

He might not be prolific (not many strikers are) but offers more than just goals.

I doubt it, that Mr Lion has to be in his mid 70s by now.

Really a quality player, you can see why he played at the top level for so long. He rarely has a game where he doesn't contribute something important.

Very much this. Class act and comes across well in his interviews.

Just for the equaliser against Palace this season he deserves a new contract.

Mr Lion's a twat.

Lion vs Shark – the one they've all been waiting for

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Older player, playing regularly and not looking out of place, costs us nothing in a position we don't have much depth and very little experience? Next this Lion fella will be saying bears are likely to deficate outdoors and to watch this space for confirmation!

Well, he’ll finish his career having made more league appearances and scored more league goals for us than for any other club. Who’d have thought that when he joined us?

I love Welbz. He always creates something for the opposition to worry about and works for the team. Ferguson could not have a better role model to learn from.

Agree - seems a genuinely nice guy as well....so important to have players like him around a young squad.

....and he's going to get someone fired sooner or later.....

He also looks to have been really supportive and encouraging with Joao Pedro, always congratulating his assists to others

 

[Hugo Rune]

I get the impression with Welbz that out of all our squad, he’d be the hardest for a baddie to bait into a fight. At the same time, once he’d engaged, he’d finish the baddie the quickest.

I certainly hope Danny stays for at least another year.

Our other strikers are very inexperienced and need to be taken out of the firing line occasionally. Danny is the perfect player to be swapping in with them.

I think said Mr Lion owns multiple Bentleys in different colours. The Bentley-driver and twitterer deserve one another.

Welbeck is class and always has been. The most under rated English player of recent years. I was so happy when we signed him and I’m delighted how it’s gone.

Desperately hope he does stay at least another year, we need him.

Slightly OT but reading Naylor’s article in the Athletic today about Lallana, I would expect us to make another Welbeck/Milner/Lallana type signing this summer too.

Lion vs Shark – the one they've all been waiting for

Having looked into this, I gather the winner of such a contest would depend on whether the fight took place on land or in open ocean.

I'm not charging for this insight.

This is the most significant statistic - more goals for us than in his time at arsenal and man utd. He has far exceeded my expectations when we signed him and shows how well he and the club have maintained his fitness and physical condition.
