    So, with the weekends results I predict Oranagagae2 to post at some point in the early hours of the morning to tell us how shyte we are.

    Canadel will break out his Danny Wellbeck inflatable love doll and try to convince us that Danny should not have been sold because he is the best striker in the league.

    I'm also pretty sure bangkok is trying to think of a way to blame Fellaini for yesterday's result too.


    Think it's time to take a couple of days out from here.

    well no as he wasnt playing but he is one of the reasons we are where we are

    Welbeck not good enough for United apparently but good enough for an arsenal team that are miles better than us..... :rolleyes:

    Welbeck was sitting on the bench for Arsenal and then was injured for months. He came on off the bench today.

    What exactly are you basing he is good enough for Arsenal from, because he came off the bench and scored.

    Wellbeck plays from the left or up front, is he better than Martial or Rooney i wouldn't think so, so at United just like at Arsenal he would be sitting on the bench.

    he was very good for them last season, played 34 games for them, ask any arsenal supporter they are extremely happy with him.

    he would walk onto our team now, better than Lingard, Depay, Mata and would have been better than rooney was before christmas

    Lingard and Mata play from the right and Depay is a sub why are you mentioning them. Wellbeck was injured before christmas so again i don't know why you mentioned that.

    Wellbeck plays in Martial or Rooney's place, so do you think Wellbeck would walk into the side instead of either of those.

    Welbeck doesn't feature in Arsenal's best 11. He wouldn't feature in United's either.
    The lamenting is laughable, he stuck his head on a cross today and all of a sudden he's the answer to our prayers. Would he have the composure to take the chance Martial had yesterday? Probably not.
    He's a bench player at a big club or a starter at a smaller club.

    I agree - but our bench striker/forward is Will Keane. I'd prefer Welbeck.

    The issue, imo, isn't the sale of Welbeck. Its the sale of Evans, Nani, Di Maria, RVP, Hernandez and RVP; with a lack of replacements coming in for those players.

    Welbeck is another example of LVGs terrible squad management - which is partially why we are struggling so badly. Lack of options, lack of competition.

    he can play just off striker as well. he also has played on the right and is a much better option than we have at the moment

    Yeah, he would be grand to have available but at the time he was sold we had Rooney, RvP and Falcao. It didn't look so bad then, it's the start of this season that the real mistakes were made.
    Can you imagine if the Martial deal had hit a snag at the last minute?

    he played 34 times for them last season.

    he also was a first team starter for united in the previous 3 seasons before he was sold to arsenal so to say he is a bench player of a big club is simply not true.

    a regular england starter as well

    How many starts? How many of those games were Giroud or Walcott unavailable for?
    Everyone fit and he doesn't start. I don't think you'll find many Arsenal fans that would pick him in their best 11.

    Rooney can play in cm and left wing it doesn't mean it's where his best position is.

    Stop trying to move the goalposts like you always do.

    You said he would walk into the United team and when asked who he would replace you start mentioning positions he doesn't play in.

    walcott is not even a starter at the moment. Joel Campbell was keeping him out of the team and now oxlade chamberlain is. When welbeck is 100% fit he will be a starter

    ok then, you said mata and lingard play from the right, martial from the left and rooney up top. so who plays no 10?

    Wonder has Rio ever tweeted anything about him?

    Mata is apparently the latest player to be linked with a move to China

    Herrera who is far better technically and a better finisher.

    I wouldn't be using Van Gaal's tea selection to back up my point he is clueless.
    Herrera is too creative to suit his team.

    The best football we play is with him on the field.

    Also on Herrera being unhappy do you ever see him celebrating goals from the sidelines.

    Something tells me quite a few of the players are likely to be unhappy under LVG, and not just the ones who aren't starting games either.

    lol so it is ok to be in a bar at 4am during the week having a fight when you are playing a massive game on saturday morning and then your manager says you are not in the squad because you are not injured but "tired". please

    Now that is laughable. The only thing Herrera has proven is that he can't cut it at Utd. Kagawa part II.

    Fellani and past its like Carrick and Schweinsteiger keep him out of the team, and don't even try to say he doesn't play in their positions.

    Do you think the manager waits til an hour before the game to tell the players who's in the squad?

    of course not, he probably knew fellaini was in a bar fight and told him he wouldnt be involved on saturday as punishment

    Well that Fell story makes more sense why he wasn't playing yesterday then LvG reasoning.

    Fell has 15 PL appearances 5 subbed on and 5 subbed off... Tired my hole, LvG caught wind that he was out in London at 4am.
