He will learn much more in the reserves than sitting on the bench day out and in. A loan is not a bad idea either. The PL is where the BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD PLAY. They do NOT play in the reserves, and therefor you can NOT say he's GREAT because he can score a GOAL in those games. How clear can you make it? Put Wayne Rooney in the reserves and he'll break the all time record for goals if you like. What I have seen from Welbeck is a very very young Saha. There are several things missing from his game before he can start making a serious impact. I wouldn't say no to having him on the bench when we rest players for simpler games and then let that be the real test. In Manchester United there is NO place for a bad desicion like you can do in some fucing coca cola team. That is the difference between being number one and being a midtable team.

I agree with much of what you say....although I wouldn't compare him to Saha at all. Danny doesn't have Saha's heading ability at all and is much more skilful with the ball at his feet. Welbeck has a languid style of running similar in style to Billy Whelan if anyone and it almost looks lazy. He has an amazing ability to glide past people. His awareness and decision making need loads of improvement which he will learn with time. With Danny I am not convinced that loaning him out so young will help him.....he is more likely to get all his skill kicked out of him in the lower leagues. I would like to see him put on a bit of beef first. And remember, last year he was playing in the U/18's a year ahead of his age and this year he is in the reserves ahead of schedule.
