KaKa Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Really good senior pro to have around the young guys in that team. Will likely go into a coaching role with them at some point afterwards too I imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are always so tied to paying huge amounts on players that feel have already proven themselves. They are mostly really awful at bringing through players of their own that they have nurtured themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could still really do with a player of his profile with both our strikers missing chunks of this season and the added pressures of Europe next year.

I haven't seen a great deal of him but based on stats alone it isn't even a great return in the Bundesliga. Even Weghorst had a comparable record if not better.

Unbelievable Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 2 hours ago, joeyt said: Confused at this already being officially announced. Good signing for them. Wonder if we threw our hat in the ring. Howe today made a point of only having two recognised forwards, so you’d assume we’re after another one this summer, and considering we wanted him badly last year I was expecting us to go after him again. Brighton will be a good club for him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the injuries he would have 100 PL goals imo Sure, I think he has a lot of features of the original Welbeck. I do think he’s got more technical ability than Welbeck did but overall, he’s like a slightly improved version of the original model. Or at least, I think he has the potential to be. I completely agree on Welbeck, I don’t think he was ever going to be a natural goal scorer as he wasn’t an amazing striker of the ball but he had so much to his game that he would make up for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I think he had good shooting technique. I think Welbeck's biggest issue goalscoring wise was (1) all his finishes seemed impromptu. He didn't have a "finish". Which meant he could score good and odd goals but every shot seemed unique. A lot of the best strikers strike the ball with a similar technique or have a favoured shot. (2) Did too much work outside the box / didn't have that finishers instinct in the box. Under a coach like Emery or Ancelotti, told to keep his game simpler - I wonder if he would've had a better goalscoring streak. I think Isak has that low-drilled shot down to near perfection. Which is great. And Wilson has that goalscorers sniff. Love that for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaby is another good example. “The 23-year-old England international forward joins Arsenal from Manchester United, where he made a total of 142 appearances, scoring 29 goals. Since making his senior debut in 2008, Welbeck has also won 25 England caps” https://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20140902/arsenal-sign-england-forward-welbeck I didn’t think Man Utd gave him much of a chance at the time, if I recall correctly, but 142 appearances isn’t too bad.

Nine Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I stand corrected then, I thought he left Man United earlier than that. He’s one of those players that feel like he’s been around forever and still only 32. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
