Re: United thread 2012/13.

Has David Conn paid Prestwich a 'finders' fee' for doing all his research for him?
At least we know it's not only crack investigative journalist Mike Keegan of the MEN who comes on blue moon for his stories

DANNY WELBECK is still in dispute with Manchester United over a new contract.

The striker, 21, is in the last year of his current deal but his advisors and club bosses are at loggerheads over the terms of a new four-year agreement.

Welbeck is on £15,000 a week and his camp are after £60,000 a week before bonuses.

But the club is understood to be offering a £40,000 basic wage, rising to £60,000 a week based on games played.

Welbeck is represented mainly by his elder brother Chris, who believes the player deserves what they are asking for after hitting 12 goals in 38 games last term before a strong display with England at Euro 2012.

His winner in the group game against Sweden, a volley with his right instep whilst facing away from goal, was one of the goals of the tournament.

But United are still not ready to budge and the failure to find a middle ground is worrying, particularly as they have lost two promising 19-year-olds since the end of last season.

Midfielder Paul Pogba went to Juventus on a £30,000-a-week deal — double the money United were offering — after his contract ran out.

Now defender Ezekiel Fryers has followed him out the door.

He also failed to agree terms on a new deal and left as a free agent to join Tottenham, who are set to pay United £4million in compensation.



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just had a look at the last page...

Danny is going to be a fantastic player but he needs to add killer instinct to his game. I read Andy Cole saying that he needs to decide whether he wants to be a great goalscorer or the scorer of great goals but I don't think it needs to be so open or shut. Welbeck should be looking to Thierry Henry as inspiration - there are a lot of similarities. I think we've got a potential wordie on our hands, providing he sticks the ball in the net more regularly


Comparing Welbeck to Henry is like compariing Messi to Leroy Lita.

How we lost Sturridge, All the power is with the player can go for nowt next year and earn even more money, Rags will give in IMO. Another nail in the coffin of playing for the shirt and istory and such like. Waiting to see if they can get their debt down first I imagine :-)
 
Re: United thread 2012/13.

Would he get in our 1st 11?
No.
Is he better than any of our 4 strikers?
No. You may say that he could squeeze out Dzeko, but Dzeko's goal scoring record says otherwise.
Henri? Messi? For me, he's another Daniel Sturridge, minus the dribbling skills.
