Not sure missing 1 in 5 games is overly good either. Makes it difficult to be someone you can depend on.

That just made me spit out my drink!Why would I have a problem ?
There is nothing to get so aggressive about.
I mean it is a little exasperating when we sign a player and you serially moan that we should be "concentrating" on a striker - and not appreciating that we cannot choose the order deals finalise - but on a world scale even that is about as irritating as whether it is raining in Cornwall or not.
Sorry but you sound like you have a problem.

Heard the WHU likelihood has decreased - don't think the terms were better than ours

There is a very strong desire to keep him at the club, talks are ongoing.

Stan, the name of Welbeck's Dad who was a bomb disposal officer is better.

Danny Welbeck, should we? [18/10: we did - one year deal]
Probably just silly season rumours but few rumblings on Twitter that Besiktas been in touch with Wellbeck with an offer

Looking for a striker to replace Aboubakar, Beşiktaş started working to transfer Danny Welbeck, who played in Brighton & Hove Albion last season.
Erdal Torunoğulları met with Welbeck, whose contract had expired, and presented his offer. (@ismailer_ )hurriyet.com.tr/sporarena/son-…

If he hasn't signed by July 1st he won't.
In 11 days time he is out of contract and we stop paying him. If he's going to stay after that why take a break in his pay ?

I’m also of the thinking that if he hasn’t signed by July 1st we need to move on ourselves.
Be great to have Danny back but he isn’t worth waiting all summer for, need clarity so we can make our own plans… otherwise we could have missed out on other players waiting for him
I wish it was that simple.
Footballers like Welbeck don’t need a monthly salary coming in like a lot of us fans.
Danny’s agent (who is seemingly talking to quite a few clubs if you believe the stories) probably has half a dozen contracts on the table ready to sign. I suspect the agent would ask for back payment to July 1st and with the competition for his signature, they’d get it.
I would imagine the length of contract is the issue here. I suspect he’ll pick the longest term, I also think we’ve only offered him a 1 year deal (just a hunch).

Wouldn't it of been nice to hear that Danny had signed for another year, him saying he was happy here and it was a no brainer for him to stay longer. Instead it's a waiting game(as far as we know on here)
Danny Welbeck, should we? [18/10: we did - one year deal]
I understand he’s not a young player. But he’s what 30? Certainly another 3-4 years at this level is realistic.
Given his ability, the goals he scored for us. the way he’s fit in around here, and what an exemplary character and role model he is for our younger players… I would have no issue giving him a 2 year deal. Granted I’m not up on whether the financial implications of that we can afford.
He’s going to listen to all offers understandably. But we’re good for him too, I would be surprised if he went to a lesser league.

Yes, if he's happy and the numbers are right you'd expect we'd offer 1 year with a 2nd year option subject to keeping himself fit and firing

I think a Turkish club had offered him a contract last season too and he rejected it to come to us. I just hope we have set a deadline for a decision so we can move on. If he comes I'd want him to have had a full pre season training. If he doesn't I hope we are in discussions with some alternatives.
