I tried to avoid these rumour sites when the Falcao business was flying about, for me it just doesn't seem like a viable United transfer, but I was shocked by the RvP transfer so who knows!

I'm quite interested in what everybody's opinion of Danny Welbeck is, I personally think he's going to be an extremely important player for us in the next few years. His pace, power and build up play are quality and he could cause any defence in the world all kinds of problems.

I'm obviously expecting replies about his goal scoring record this season which I agree has been dreadful. But he's come on leaps and bounds in other areas and can only get better at finishing!

Hoppy,

I'm with you on Welbeck, I think he is going to be a great player, yes his goals to game ratio needs improving but the goals he has scored shows the abilities there, his header v Madrid, his goal v Everton at OT last season, his flicked goals for England. There should be no doubting his ability and as he gets older and more composed the goals will come.

But he offers a lot more then just goals as well, many times he has turned defence into attack by running the ball out of our defensive third and his energy to close down has forced teams to give us possession in good positions.

Sign me up to the Danny Welbeck Fan Club :)

Also, on MUTV, the documentary called ''Welbz'' is a must watch, great insight to the lad.

I think Welbeck will be a key squad member for the next couple of years, if he can become more clinical infront of goal then he could become a fixture in the first team in a few years time. I don't agree with people who seem to want to get rid of him or Cleverley as they are at worst a very useful squad member but they have potential to be more.

I think Danny boy has some great attributes, but (yes there had to be a but) 20+ games 1 goal 4 assists is pathetic, that may be acceptable for a defender, for a guy whose job is to score or create goals??

Have never been fully sold on Welbeck but I think he's improved a lot this seaosn. I see him less as a striker and more as a wing-forward. He does need to improve his final product and composure but he still has time on his side. He will be a very useful squad player IMO and offers certain attributes that nobody else in our squad does.

He is a talent that can only get better. People seen to forget that ronnie only scored 27 goals in his 1st 137 games for united. i'm not saying he's going to turn out as good as him but we have to give the lad a chance. Also I cloud see Rooney leaving at the end of the season which could make way for falcao.

Ronaldo made the transition from winger to forward cause his finishing was inredible. Welbeck almost looks like he is going to need to convert from forward to winger, which would mean he will get less goals.

I seem to remember, (correct me if i'm wrong)one of the eds said Fulham approached united about welbeck and were told to come back in the summer. I think welbeck is a great player personally, he hasn't been played as an out and out striker, but I believe that is a deliberate move by saf to improve his all round game, i'd say the same can be said of jones, what a great ball playing centre back he has the potential to be, joeyored
