Welbeck

[1961_vintage]

Cannot believe we let this fine acting talent slip through our fingers.

 

[Love_Each_Day]

He's a clever player but don't think he'll ever be a big goal scorer.

 

[Josh Blue]

He is so average.

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

He's a good player. No more, no less.

It's been noted that he's not as gifted as some of the cunts who've graced the swamp but in the name of fairness it should be pointed out that he's less of an arsehole than most of them too.

He's clearly 100x better than Scott 'Paul' Parker but then most of us are.

A decent PL striker is all he'll be - he's 22 in a few months so not a kid any longer

Interesting,younger than Mario who many still excuse as still being such.

To be fair,i havn't seen much difference in ability or potential between the two,character wise,they're worlds apart........

Wellbeck,if he was a blue,would be receiving far higher praise on this board.

Balotelli is 22 in August(according to wiki)

Balotelli is far better than Wellbeck. Wellbeck is not international class, he's a good player but nothing special

Please tell me why Mario is so much better? what are the attributes that make him so?

Welbeck isn't 22 till November.

Balo - 17 goals in 32 appearances - better than 1 per 2 appearances (City scored 93)
Career Total - 55 goals in 158 (1 goal per 2.8 games)
Welbeck - 12 goals in 40 appearances - less than 1 per 3 appearances (rags scored 89)
Career Total - 25 goals in 98 apps (1 goal per 3.9 games)

Yeah, real similar aren't they?

Great finish last night.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Mario seems more clinical,ok,however,stats are only useful when everything is covered,assists,succesful passes,defensive duties etc......Does Welbeck take penalties? And would it be fair to say he has been a slightly late developer?

I'm judging what i see on the pitch overall.

A good player who will never be a great player. Will do a job for England and United, will score some important goals and put in many decent performances. Will never set the world alight.

Sums him up well enough for me.
