If we have money and given we bid for Gonzalez I assume we have, and we expect to sell at least one of the 'crown jewels' this window I'd be quite surprised if we didn't break our transfer record this summer. There is so little money around in Europe we'd be mad not to spend this summer if we...

Another year? Yes but we need to phase him out as that season goes on. He has moments of brilliance still but the injuries have taken their toll and his pace is declining. What a goal today though and would be a great squad man and option. However, with so few goals from midfield we really need...

Davidson Nunez was the guy they wanted and weren't able to get. Welbeck is a stand in and a good one at that. But what he isn't and never has been is prolific the much maligned Maupay was our best chance of a 15 goal striker this season and it would appear that his nut and form have gone for...

14 PL goals in 45 appearances in his first season and a bit says you're wrong. Although I agree he was awful today

I do think that a fit Welbeck would possibly have won us that game today? If we lacked anything it was guile and quality in the final third. An experienced Striker who could make better runs and offer an outlet aerially could have given us something extra today. He might not be available every...

Fit and firing he will be a major asset.

No but apparently that's the plan I believe?

Danny Welbeck is an interesting option. One the one hand he's talented and if fit and at his best better than either of our current strikers as a player if not an out and out goalscorer IMO. The 'if fit' part is obviously the most important here. Assuming that he is and can pass a medical and is...

But he isn't and hasn't really been fit his whole career pretty much. I agree he's decent when he plays but its way too infrequently. I just checked and he hasn't played more than 30 league games in a season in his entire career and just the 18 games last season. Plus he's now 30.

No I think he still has to be named in a PL 25 man squad by the end of August otherwise he cannot play until January.

Could we attract a better striker elsewhere? Probably not. So it comes down to Wages, fitness and attitude. There was talk that he wanted £5m signing on fee and £100k a week. If that is the case its over before it starts, but would be he worth £2/3m fee and £50k a week? Assuming his fitness is...

No it certainly isn't. It would be a risk but possibly one worth taking if the wage demands were low enough. I doubt they will be...

Played a lot of games there as either a sub or on the RW so that will have had a bearing on his goals to games ratio.

Right deal yes. Will we get the right deal? No A fit Danny Welbeck is better than any of our strikers but he'll not be fit and he'll want too much money. Only way this happens is late in the window when he might take less money and even then...
