Okay, ignoring the muppets last attempt to salvage something from what looks like a post-Sneijder-trainwreck(referring to the Arsenal/Welbeck-links), this kid is going to be a bit special. I've said it from the first time he entered a first team match, you just see it in some players. Their confidence, that oomph and x-factor, that little something.. It's also why I've always said Welbeck is a better player than Macheda.
His awareness and first touch are amongst the very best in our squad, and he's a fantastic finisher to boot. Also, he's gotten a lot quicker the past two years and is really, really dangerous on the break. He could be pretty much the complete striker, and I will not be surprised to see him force his way into the first team more often than many believe this season. Poor Berbatov.

With the caveat that obviously I like seeing all of our players doing well, I take great satisfaction seeing Welbeck do well - I love it when a lad comes through the youth system and then goes on to do well for the first team.

If he doesn't feature for the senior side on Friday night Pearce has asked that Danny be sent back to the U21s for their qualifier on Monday as they've had a few injuries.

I doubt it too. Everything seems to move sooo slow in international football. You have to put in quality peformances for a year quite often before you get a look in, then you start with some sub appearances.
Welbeck will probably get 30 minutes off the bench. |

Rumour has it that it's going to be Rooney and Zamora.

Wonder whether Wellbeck would want to play for U-21 now he's had a taste of the real stuff, I can imagine if Psycho asks him to join up, his replay might be "Sorry Stew Pot,my work here is done"

So when will the ABUs recognize that we have a class player in our hands in the form of Welbeck?
Most seem to find it difficult to recognize his potential. And have difficulty comprehending him in the England team. It took nearly 18 months for Nani to be given credit as a player, his performances demanded? Would be interesting to see when the general media starts getting on to the Welbeck bandwagon. |

I think it'll be pretty quick especially after he scores his first England goal.
Welbeck is in a completely different situation to Nani, he's in nobody's shadow and doesnt have any part of his game that people might be upset by |

Welbeck is pure class and on his form this season, should ahead of Hernandez.
People will jump on the bandwagon soon enough, however, they will also jump off it very quickly. Just look at Rooney or Rio |

Interview in today's current bun. If I had to name my highlight of the season so far it would be Danny's emergence as a proper Manchester United player. |

Not his fault because at that point England were sat camped in their half with no intention of doing anything positive. So he was pretty much alone VS 4 defenders. Certainly not enough to label it a 'great' performance. He needs to start against Sweden. Lets see what he can do from the start and playing a good chunk of the match. |

He was recognized because Bent was so poor upfront alone Welbeck came on and looked a lot better even from his first three touches...
As Pogue said he wasn't happy... Who would be having to only chase long balls, and having been the only target to hoove the ball too... |

I'm confused, Welbeck was suppose to be the target man so how was his passing a bit off when he hardly had the ball to his feet ? There was one missed place pass when he was running down LW and was trying to have a go at Pique... The rest were mostly off his chest no ?

But he's been giving Welbeck playing time. He must be seeing the potential in Welbeck that we see. If Danny can get goals for United then I'm sure he'll get games for England. |

Did as well as he could given that Hart kept booting it up to him but it wasnt even aimed at him. His hold up play is very good and he gets himself involved and puts himself about. Will take a real end of season stinker and / or injury for him not to start.
Or capello to be a cabbage. |

Wasn't great but there was nothing he could do..Nothing more to say that hasn't already been said. Playing as a lone striker against Spain is hard enough when you're actually a hold up man, let alone if you're not...He did Pique for pace a couple of times. Probably the only "go on my son" moments of the match were his little sprints. Bit sloppy with possession, but Spain have a ridiculous work rate.
I've seen Barca live now twice (unfortunately against us) but this is the first time I've seen Spain (well, not true, but this Spain). It's the same principle. The amount of closing down is unreal. They somehow managed to have 3 or 4 players back at all times on just Danny, whilst trying to tiki taka their way through our whole team with their front 7. They put themselves about so much (and so well) that it is literally like they have 2 or 3 more players. |

I thought his outing was quite gutsy. Loved seeing him run at them (albeit only had about 2 oppertunities to do so)
It has become quite clear he has all the attributes to become a quality player |
