by a back up winger and permanently play Rashford upfront
How good was this bloke...
You're debating with me on Welbeck's quality.... You're a joke. It's people like you and your expectations that has left us in this mediocrity. Let me remind you that this is MANCHESTER UNITED. We've had players like Scholes, Beckham, Giggs, Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Van Persie, Cantona, Keane and so on represent us over the years. There's a certain standard that every United player that dons the United jersey is expected to meet.
Yes bud you’re a footballing expert who’s view is all that matters. Carry on thinking anyone who disagrees with you is a joke. You silly little person.
Presumably you've heard of park ji sung, Quinton fortune, jesper blomqvist and many others who weren't first choice but provided valuable backup?
How can you even compare Park to Welbeck? Park was very lethal and had tonnes of energy and would run all over the place. Welbeck didn't do enough to make a difference in my opinion. You also need to realize that those days are gone when there were a handful of teams gunning to win the league. We currently have 6/7 teams who are actual contenders. Yes, City are far ahead but the teams are improving and we need to get better players in here to actually boost our chances of winning the league again.
You know all the teams on that list have squad players who aren't as good as the first choice don't you? And we had Dion Dublin, hernandez and a stack load of other forwards who weren't world class but played their part.
Haha... dude.... I am not the only person who thinks Welbeck is not a quality player and don't want him back. You could do a survey on the CAF if you wanted to.
First of all, Welbeck cannot keep himself fit
Agreed. More than enough work to keep us busy with elsewhere; fullbacks and midfielders the priorities for the summer.
Think both of them are as good or better up front than on the wing depending on how we play. Rashford is more than good enough to be our back-up striker although he has been going through a poor spell as of late.
Yep Carrick/Fellaini need replacing as well as a Valencia back-up/ successor, hopefully TFM can make that RB position his own.
And which games would you actually start Rashford at center forward. From the games he started there, it was clear as daylight that he does not have what it takes to lead the line for United. Good that we could change things and brought Lukaku in between to salvage the situation. He is not going to be 20 goal striker no matter what. The best position for him is winger forward like we are playing him now. Give him that responsibility as center forward and he will crumble.
feck off! No to welbeck
Danny Welbeck? Seriously?
He obviously wouldn't 'crumble' seeing as it's the position he wants to play and his best form for United has come when he was played there.
I mean, that's akin to saying all that's really missing from a defender's game is his ability to defend. If you can't score and create as a striker on a regular basis, you're not a very effective striker.
Forget one off performance against Chelsea who played with absurdly high line that game, I struggle to remember his top performances. I wonder how many MOTM performaces he got in your so called purple patch. His best form for United was not good enough. And if Rashford feels he needs gametime playing as center forward and he is not getting those game time here, nobody is stopping him to go somewhere else to try out.
Like welbeck...
Why would I forget his performance vs. Chelsea? They did nothing unusual that game, played their standard system, and Rashford gave a great performance, you can't just pretend it didn't happen because you don't like the idea of him being a good striker.
