If I was a Gooner I really wouldn't be writing him off. As a United fan I have this horrible sinking feeling that with decent service and playing as a proper striker, he might do some awfully good things for you.
So would you swap Falcao, RVP or Ronney for Wellbeck? Fittster said:

The lad is 23 so he's young. I've only read positive things from journos and pundits about the transfer and I have to agree with them.
his chances were limited at Man Utd and with rooney, RVP etc ahead in the pecking order he would never get the time and support to develop. Although I imagine he'll play support to Giroud when he's back.
it would have been nice to sign someone like Benzema who has scored over 20 a season, but apart from Costa and Suarez no one else was available, and even they werent really available to us.

From Welbeck's point of view the chance of going to another CL club, having free run for four months at the central striking position and the chance to play with the likes of Alexis and Ozil must be pretty f
king exciting.He'll have a dozen games to prove himself at Arsenal and already knows a good number of the players from the England set up. he should gel pretty quickly with The Ox, Wilshere and Walcott.
I'm amazed Man U sold him to us when we refused to sell TV5 to them...especially in our current situation. Chelsea would never have done that and neither would Fergie!

The club who have known him for over a decade and didn't need to sell came to the conclusion either Wellbeck or Arsenal pose no threat to them so the transfer could go through.Cupramax said:

Think Welbeck will do alright, but still baffled why Wenger never signed Fabregas back.
Having watched the first couple of Chelsea's games this season I think it could possibly be Wengers biggest mistake, ever.

Shouldn't be baffled, it was obviously a choice between Alexis or Cesc. And as good as Cesc is we have anumber of playmakers like him, maybe not at his level (yet) but Alexis is a player we've been missing for some time. Cesc is back to his old self which is tough to swallow but I knew he would as he was always played out of position at Barca.
It's a shame, but that's football. Can't wait to see him score againts us at the Emirates.
