Sunderland consider Danny Welbeck from Manchester United

[Manchester Mackem]

I assume the Mail got this rumour off here?

 

[Jimmy Salami]

Well put it all in perspective Welbeck in the last 3 years have compiled more goals than Borini, Wickham, Fletcher and DG combined.

 

[Irishblackcat]

Ah good we should be ready to make a bid in january then .

 

[the flying graysons]

He couldn't score goals in a better man utd team
Did you watch the first time here
Fast as fuck yes
Couldn't score in a brothel

Scored more than borinI from open play

 

[Sebastien]

Good signing for another top four side? Nope, probably not.
Good signing for Sunderland looking to push for the top ten? Abso-flipping-lutely.

 

[PTR]

Go for both of them.

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

We'll get neither Wellbeck or Borini FACT

I reckon we'll get Borini on loan just before the window closes.

Bleedin' Nora. Wickham has had 6 good games in 3 years for us

Wellbeck had about 2 good games for us yet people rave about the lad. Has looked distinctly average with quality around him at manu. Would be decent signing for us but no more.

It's in the express now, they've basically just copied the mail article though, so it probably doesn't add any creedence to the story:

[DJ Doubt]

Whether we sign Borini or Welbeck, it has to be said that it will be the most underwhelming big money signing we've ever made. Neither player has a record that suggests they'll go on to be anything special.

 

[SuperSunderland]

Be suprised if Welbeck would come here now as that would effectively end his England career.

 

[HutchSafc]

He'd be a brilliant signing.

 

[Mackem00]

I think he'd only improve Liverpool out of last seasons top 4 (and they are looking to get someone of a higher calibre by the looks of things) so that leaves Spurs/Everton who are streets ahead of us currently. Everton couldn't afford another big outlay and i'm not sure if Spurs would want him. I don't think he's actually unobtainable to clubs around the midtable mark where we should be aiming.

Ridiculous that i don't think he'd consider or even be offered a move abroad but that's the way it is for whatever reason.

I'd be chuffed if he signed anyway.

Nah mate he'll be playing alongside Rodwell, Johnson, Wickham and Cattermole, guaranteed start for half our team

 

[North of the Smoke]

A striker who does not strike, and expensive.

Thats said, he has other qualities, and would fit a Poyet team.

Great attitude as well.

Not good enough for us? If we had players of his quality from 1-11 we'd be challenging for a European spot..

 

[cronnyberg]

I seem to remember him being great as an attacking left when he played for us, rather than an out and out striker. He's got pace to burn and Poyet has been open about our need for speed (excuse the pun). I reckon he would do very well in that position and in our system in general, but I can't remember what his passing game is like. Just imagine him and van aanholt attacking down the left together, intimidating stuff I reckon

The only thing you post that I take serious, is your football on tv threads.

Scored nearly 1 in 3 for England - canny. He'd be an excellent signing and better than Borini. Unlike Man City selling Rodwell I'm surprised Man Utd are willing to sell, I'd imagine most United fans would like to keep him.
