[Albion] Danny Welbeck, should we? [18/10: we did - one year deal] - *** NEW ONE YEAR DEAL ***

[dejavuatbtn]

OK will £50m buy us two players who can get 15 goals between them?

So I like that DW has signed a new 12 month contract !

He has great ability and we should be delighted that he will be at the AMEX for the next twelve months.

Of course he is not a long term solution to our striker problem but he is also a potential inspiration to our younger players.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Sounds happy and settled.

 

[Icy Gull]

Sounds happy and settled.

Great to see him so enthusiastic about being here, stay fit and we have as good a striker as any of the clubs outside the top six, add another and we could fly this season

Long term? If we unearth anyone who can get 15 non-penalty goals a season in the PL - the entire football universe will be after him!

Considering we missed quite a few pens last season I would be more than happy for a few pens to be in the back of the net tbh.

 

[banjo]

Top man.

 

[Rinkmaster]

Great to have him back for another year. Wonder what the front three will be at the end of the window.

Yep, completely agree, but if we do ever get a 15-20 goal premier league goalscorer the MASSIVE clubs like the Arse will be social-media(ing) the **** out of #teamslikebrighton to ensure we’re bullied into selling our assets

Welbeck-Dia-Dolberg

Hopefully

 

[AmexRuislip]

Move over Harry, Danny's available.

Being a fan of keeping player stuff in one place, I'll leave this here rather than on the match thread:-

I'm sat staring straight down the barrel of this.
I accept that'll never have the 'heft' of the thousands of us who were in the identical spot for Case '83, but it was glorious to watch.


Were I even remotely in tune with the 21st century, I might even have a couple of better slides to show than the footage here.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I wonder if there's any comments on the Leicester sites about whether someone other than Vardy should have been marking Welbeck.

I was sat in a near perfect diagonal angle to see it leave his head and nestle in the side-netting.
It was a beautiful sight.

Goal all the way, we were up, before it even hit the net.

Those were the days.
I was up just before Leicester restarted the game.

The couple of casual steps backwards before the corner was delivered gave him the space to move into to make the header. Nobody from Leicester tracked him as he made either that move or the one to meet the ball as the corner came in meaning he was left all alone to put the header exactly where he wanted it.

Yes.

Movement doesn't have to be extravagant.

He got up early, watched it all the way, headed it downwards, using the pace already on the ball to guide it in the corner.

Top quality finish

Looked simple didn't it, but actually from forward of the front post to get that good a contact and direction from that angle a lot more difficult than it looks and there could be a showreel somewhere of how many of those are missed. Looks bread and butter, but really is a top class finish.

Yes, and i'd say 90% of those misses are that the player doesn't really get anything on it at all.

Can't not mention the delivery either. Properly whipped in and made Danny's job easier for him. Leandro was great all game.
