How far away from the first team is Wellbeck?
I was a little surprised to see Campbell starting ahead of him against Newcastle.
I probably shouldn't have been and I know Campbell's older -- but I'm not a Utd supporter, I get all of my information from RedCafe, and my impression was that Wellbeck was simply better. So what is the situation vis-a-vis those two? Does Campbell's start mean that Wellbeck is firmly and officially behind him? What will Fergie do? What would you do? |

As for what is going to happen to him, he is currently injured, so I think he might stay put for now. I reckon he will be sent out on loan soon though, either at Christmas, or next summer. |

I'd fucking take him on the wing in a heartbeat at the moment. I reckon him and Brandy would be fantastic on the wings/striker positions in a 433 actually.

Welbeck has the talent I think but he´s not physically ready, he struggled for a while when he first started playing for the reserves because he wasn´t as dominant physically as he had been in the U-18´s. He was getting better towards the end of the season but he´s still not ready for first team football, despite his talent. He needs a full season in the reserves, with the occasional Carling Cup game.

And maybe a spell on loan will improve him as much as it did Cambell. |

Which might explain why he's just had an excellent season in the Championship, after scoring shit-loads of goals for the reserves while Welbeck has... er... played a few games for the reserves. FFS, you're hard work sometimes, you know that? |

Wouldn't surprise me if Welbeck skipped the 'loan stage'. Fraizer's the better player now but I wouldn't personally say there's a huge amount in it. Welbeck undeniably the more talented as well.
