New signings

Danny Welbeck, eh? I didn't see that one coming, still, he fits the bill, fast, young - perhaps Arsene feels he can make a Thierry Henry out of him, let's hope so! I'd expected a back-up centre-back or a holding midfielder and we get a new young striker - welcome Danny, prove to us that Arsene knows!

oh yeah man ure couldn't get him up to standard so you can???

Welbeck has taken some unfair stick in the media, as is the case with all English strikers. Can't see him ever being a 20 goal a season man but in a summer when McCormack cost £11m in the Championship and Long cost £12.5m I'd say Arsenal have got themselves a bit of a bargain.

Only Arsene has the touch - we're looking at Thierry-Henry-II here!

I agree QB, although I can't quite work out what ManU are doing. They've got a World-Class Striker (or two), a World-Class Midfielder (pr two) and some pretty ordinary defenders, plus the strikers have probably both peaked - if I were a ManU fan I wouldn't be too chuffed to have lost Welbeck, thinking long(er) term. Still, that ain't my problem.

They can do without Welbeck but I agree their transfer dealings are lop sided. Their defenders are in the majority bottom half of the table players.

Swap you Wellbeck for cleverly?

Wellbeck is a tidy player for 16m, with the amount of chances he gets at Arsenal he'll score plenty of goals. I'd say that was the bargain of the transfer window, I bet Whinger can't believe his luck.

Great things ahead villainies - your lot aren't looking so bad either!

Wellbeck has never had a long run at centre forward. When he has played there he's had a decent return.
One thing about him is he works his nuts off and adds speed to our attack. Welcome and good luck Danny Wellbeck.
