Apparently Lewandowski has declared he wants to leave Dortmund in the Summer. As much as I like him as a player I'm not sure I would replace any of our strikers, maybe Welbeck.

De ja vue? Welbeck who's been at the club since he was 9? Ya no thanks I'd rather keep him.

Welbeck has been magnificent for the last two months getting better every game would never sell him

England international aswell

We would need Lewandowski if we didn't have RVP. He is also the perfect heir to RVPs throne. However we don't need him now and RVPs downfall won't happen any time soon. I don't see Lewandowski here at all, the squad would be overly saturated.

Fresh!

He's better than all our strikers bar Van Persie. Wouldn't be happy sitting on the bench though like Welbeck and Hernandez. If we sign him Rooney is definitely on his way.

I'd get rid of Welbeck in a heartbeat he will never be a goal scorer in my opinion, would you want Utd to buy him if he were at any other club?

Thats the way to tell if he's anygood {Ed004's Note - I agree, Welbeck will never be a goal scorer or it looks unlikely anyways, however, I feel having the likes of Welbeck, Cleverley, Jones etc differs us from City. These players will keep a very good squad moral and when called upon will battle for the badge something every team needs imo. That's why I am reluctant to sell him but the idea of Lewandowksi and RVP along with Rooney and Hernandez as options up top is frightening.}

It would do no harm to have an abundance of class strikers, provided indeed he is this bargain at £12mil. I have seen Lewy numerous times and really like what I see. Rooney to drop back. Our strike force would then be, RVP, Welbeck, chicharito, Lewandowski. All being pushed by Henriquez and Will Keane. We do have a lot of games during the season.

I used to say wellbecks not good enuuf but he's improving game by game worls hard like park used to, so give the young man a break he will b class in a few yrs!

Welbeck will never be an out-and-out goal scorer, true. However that isn't the only type of forward worth having. Welbeck has pace and is developing strength, he has real work ethic and works for the team, he will chase and harrass all day long, which gives us something a bit different from the others. He can make defenders lives difficult like Heskey used to for England, but unlike Heskey, he can score too. He's a good lad to have in the squad, even if he's unlikely to become world class.

Half of you are forgetting that since the arrival of RvP, Welbeck obviously has had a lot less playing time. Often being deployed out on the left or right wing rather than up front so don't expect him to score many this season. He works for the team, tracks back and has a great fighting spirit that kin of attitude is regarded very highly at United and rightly so, it's that attitude that helps us pull off late goals and back to back wins.

I personally thought and I know a lot of others did too that Welbeck was the star man against Real Madrid apart from Jones. RvP missed a couple of chances and Roomey had a very quiet night. Welbeck is an important player!

Agree with Ed004, Pardoe, I think you are overlooking the importance of a balanced squad and having young, hungry, homegrown talents who are willing to sit on the bench but will always give 100% when called upon.

Rooney done nothing, so why sell Welbeck? Sell rooney, get the money and replace with Lewandawski and Bale and that will be spending over.

U lot need to look at Rooneys stats before spouting off about selling him, last 71 games been involved in 69 goals or assists. Plus he's very often sacrificed his own position to play out wide or midfield. You wil all miss him if he goes. As for welbz he also plays more on the wing and is improving every game. We are 12 points clear, in Europe and still in fa cup. So less moaning and crititicising and more support please.

Graham dyer. Shoreham by sea {Ed004's Note - That's what I mean if you get Ronaldo in to replace him he will do just as good a job and for much longer IMO}

What about Lewandowski as a replacement for Rooney? With Wazza dropping back and playing as a midfielder.

At this moment in time, Bale would cost more than Rooney could be realistically sold for.
