I remember the mid season break we took when he was sixteen! The buzz was amazing, shame how it turned out.
Danny 'Local Lad' Welbeck

I've never regretted selling him, he could score 2 hat-tricks today and I still wouldn't.
Because it's interesting watching former players? Doesn't mean I agree with those who didn't want him sold. Getting rid was the right decision.
Is he going to win you the league? No? Move on.
Bit over the top. Would we honestly have done any better over the last 2 years with him at the club? He'd be still making appearances off the bench now.
Just an average English player
I was worried about his knees when he was still at United and everything I've heard since makes me think he's heading down the same path as Ledley King. So, on that basis, I don't think we'll have any long term regrets.
Based purely on ability and potential I thought it was a stupid idea to let him go at all, never mind to a rival. Nothing I've seen at Arsenal has changed my mind on this.

If I remember correctly, Hernandez was also loaned that season. If anything that was a worse decision!
Some silly meme called 'salt bae' that'll die faster than the 'whip/nae nae' but it's not as shit as the 'dab'.
Welbeck is a better squad player than Rooney and Lingard. He should never have been sold, given his age at the time.
This thread will be full of rational posts.
From a human perspective, it's good to see him back playing again. The last two years of his career have been written off through injury, which nobody likes to see.
I think he wanted gauranteed playing time and hence decided to leave?
lingard is happy being a lingard. Welbeck thought he should be starting every week for a club like us in striker position.
This should be in the threat title so that everybody can see this and only then post. Will stop 50% of the bullshit atleast.
Now I want a steak!
The reversed video of him cutting up the meat is one of the strangest things I've seen in my life.
How about we share some memories about Welbeck at United? Like the time he took the lead against Mourinho's Real Madrid
He was so good in that game.

More interesting, which many people may not know is that his dad Stan used to be a bomb disposal expert. Stan. Stan Wellbeck.
I don't think so - not as a striker, at least. It's hard/impossible to teach that 'striker's instinct' that I don't think Welbeck has. While it's easier to improve players in defence/midfield as their game is a lot more regimented.
We had an ancient strike force and even Wilson was rated ahead of him. Lolz.
In reality, he should have been getting games ahead of Wilson and Falcao shouldn't have been loaned in.
But that's hindsight for you.
Still *** guy

Has he died?
I don't have the stats, but I'd guess he's played more out wide for Arsenal than he has through the middle. I might be wrong, but before all those bad injuries, it seemed like he was nearly always on the wing for them, and that was one of major factors he wanted to leave United.
It was a strange move. He was playing a lot of football here, his boyhood club.
TBF wasn't alive for any of them I don't think.
He's practically dead to me
In all seriousness I was just having a little nostalgia over some of his goals at United.
A bit like when a new thread is started about rooney and all the usual thickos turn up to slag him off.
Started for a team that won the league. Wouldn't make the bench for a team in 6th.
Football fan logic!
Well let's wait and see if he is an every week starter or just the occassional cup game.
Quite a few of the players that started for us under Fergie's last year wouldn't start for us now.
the fact Wenger rushed him back twice from long term injuries shows you how highly he rates him.
Decent striker who's not good enough to command a regular starting spot for a top side with ambitions of winning the league.
true but the problem is he isnt a striker.....
Please Danny, stay fit. You are very important player for us when on form.
These thread sub headers remind me of Trump's tweets.
It's perfectly fair since you made a sweeping statement.
Not even close.
Besides, better trying someone who at least once had it and could've potentially gotten it back rather than someone who never has and never will have it.
Letting him go was surely a mistake, even with his injury problems.
Falcao yeah that was a funny time.
