They've managed to palm that beanpole off to Brentford.
Welbeck gets amazing leeway from United fans because he's local and from the media because he plays for United. He can't lead the line, link play or finish, just an athlete. I'd rather have Shane Long.
He reminds me a bit of Mancienne, picked up as a kid because of his physical characteristics and tried to turn him into a footballer, some of the mental stuff seems to have sunk in, he does make some good runs and drop into space between the lines but at the end of the day he just isn't good enough technically to cut it at the top level. I do think he could turn out to be a decent player for Hull at their level though but i wouldn't want to be paying 8 figures for him.
