His choice. We wanted to loan to Spurs, he wanted to go to Arse. We honoured his wishes. Both are understandable positions.Why to arsenal? Are we nuts? He seems tailor made for them.
Are you like a United lawyer? start acting like a normal fan and call this a shit deal.His choice. We wanted to loan to Spurs, he wanted to go to Arse. We honoured his wishes. Both are understandable positions.
Erm, it's a shit deal. The club are cnuts. How dare we let a player who wanted to leave and who we weren't playing leave, and to the actual club he wanted to go to, because...Football's shit? Also I love Danny so I wanted him to go and sit on the bench for a couple more seasons.Are you like a United lawyer? start acting like a normal fan and call this a shit deal.
I'm dreading the inevitable "Danny Welbeck - Arsenal Player" thread.
All because falcao was available on a loan.The thread name should be Danny Welbeck - 2001-2014
He was reported as wanting to leave well before that.All because falcao was available on a loan.
Staggering short termism.
End of last season if I remember rightly.He was reported as wanting to leave well before that.
Indeed. Though they'd began to gather traction properly in the last few weeks. It's even quite plauisble Falcao was done because Welbeck (and to a lesser extent Chicho) wanted to leave.End of last season if I remember rightly.
Even earlier than that, like around the times of the Olympiacos games, IIRC.End of last season if I remember rightly.
Can't imagine much of a better reaction to loosing your squad rotation strikers by instantly landing Falcao.Indeed. Though they'd began to gather traction properly in the last few weeks. It's even quite plauisble Falcao was done because Welbeck (and to a lesser extent Chicho) wanted to leave.
Could well be. In any event, I'm not going to wail and gnash my teeth over it. Shame we couldn't palm Anderson off on Wenger too.Indeed. Though they'd began to gather traction properly in the last few weeks. It's even quite plauisble Falcao was done because Welbeck (and to a lesser extent Chicho) wanted to leave.
I doubt very much one had to do with the other as much as people are thinking.All because falcao was available on a loan.
Staggering short termism.
Yeah.....And we just got a Dutch international, who was one of their best players at this years WC for 14 million, who is also only a few months older then Welbeck....Think about itI don't mind him leaving at all , even to Arsenal, but 16m is daylight robbery for Arsenal. Desperate on the last hours of deadline day, and fans crying out for a signing,, we gift them an England International of his age for 16m...
Agreed. Journos like Martin Samuel slagging us for not having a coherent transfer policy in place while espousing that of City's. What an utter load of BS. It is very clear what the strategy for this window was:I doubt very much one had to do with the other as much as people are thinking.
I wish him luck but I won't wish Arsenal luck.a bit gutted but I don't wish him luck (which also mean less chance for us to be in top 4 ).
I hope he has an RvP type career: amazing player who wins nothing with Arsenal, then comes to United and starts to win big trophies.I wish him luck but I won't wish Arsenal luck.
