Danny Welbeck

[terrier1996]

A source close to the club has said Danny Welbeck is interested in a move to Town as he will be closer to his family back in Manchester. Town will pursue if Grant goes. Fulham now also interested in Grant. 

[tepidterrier]

Just been released by Watford, but I can't see that happening at all. Wages will be very high as he's a free agent used to high end premier league wages

I’d be very surprised... shocked in fact if any truth in that. But a fully fit Welbeck (I know!) would be brilliant.

Weren't Southampton after him earlier in the summer? £45,000 a week at Watford? Think that rumour was started by a leeds fan on twitter.

73 career goals and 41 assists, awful injury record. Watford agreed a package for him to go on a free so they didn’t rate him for the money he was on. I assume he would still expect more than we, allegedly, wouldn’t pay Willock so it seems a very long shot. I think Ward will have enough injuries without paying someone to share the recovery room with him.

Bring in Jack Wheelchair too.

Given we couldn’t afford to offer Stankovic an acceptable contract and we’re desperately trying to clear the decks I doubt very much that this will happen.

[boooothy]

Probably in the top 5 paid players per minutes played in recent seasons. If we can’t afford Willock we can’t afford Danny Welbeck.

I believe we offered Stankovic a good contract but he wanted guaranteed starts and so left to Austria.

Welbeck and Wilshire are probably beyond our wage budget though.

According to the Daily mail he was on 100k a week at Watford...

Seems to be a lot of Prem interest.

Baffling.

Is this from the same source that told you Grant was having his medical at West Brom over 3 weeks ago?

Or the source that told you Puado & Jacob Brown were 'imminent'?

[Chips Longhorn]

Sounds like brown sauce

Whilst it is absolutely no way of happening, if I was town I would chance my arm with a lowish pay as you play short term deal for Wilshire. Just dress it up as if you want to prove you can still do it in the prem, come here on say £10k a match pay as you play, so roughly £10k a week and he won’t play every game. Sign that to end of the season and show the big clubs what you can do.

Of course as I started my point it won’t happen but I’d be cheeky and try it. If he was fit, he is class and could help LOB develop a bit and if injured well he’s not getting paid.

Is this your source?

If so the guy is a Leeds fan on a wind up

Well if that's his motivation it's such a pity about Macclesfield, that would have been perfect.

The guy's lost interest in footy some time ago.

[digs]

Make sure its a sale and not a loan if its Fulham,they broke the last fucker we lent them

That, not what he said to me when he talked to me.

We also didn't have to offer him a new contract, we just needed to activate the club option 1 year extension if we wanted to keep him.

That's presuming it was actually there on this one, unlike Mooy

[Captainslapper]

If we signed Wellbeck for £5m and paid him £25k a week for 2 years, then I imagine most would consider that a decent deal.
In terms of outlay thats the same as getting him on a free now and paying him £75k a week.... roughly £7.5m overall.

Him as a fit player, that would be an absolute steal... problem being hes injured so much.
Think any club taking him would want to factor in some kind of pay to play deal.
Imagine he sees the prem as being where he wants to go, not to a club like us.

Players like Welbeck and Wilshire are an unfortunate casualty of the evolution of football, the double sessions, fitness work and pressing game can take a toll on the body, especially one made of glass.

Pretty sure there was.
But I don't know for sure.

He lived in the same exec. flats at Highfields as my daughter and her fella.

Met him and spoke to him a few times.
(my daughter would also know when he wasn't in the match day squad with the time he set off to the stadium)

He came round with some birthday cake when I was there helping them to pack up and move out.
When he saw I was there he was all for nipping back for another slice.
I politely declined.
This was back in January and he already knew by then he would be leaving at the end of the season.


It was quite difficult to get him to talk his time here, he seemed very shy and a bit lonely.

Easy to forget he was not much more than a bairn, a long way from family and friends.

{sorry, massively off topic}

[Jimuano]

It's a wind up from a scruffy Leeds fan..

Its not going to happen, but structure a deal based on appearance money & incentives.

It always seemed like an ideal move for him: Nice part of the world and only a couple of hours' drive from family & friends in Ljubljana; Starting every week for a decent club in a decent league should be more conducive to pushing on with his international career than bench-warming at the wrong end of The Championship. Good luck to him.


...And that's all I have to say about the Welbeck 'rumour'

[Deleted]

Hello. We left the premier league 18 months ago. We are now skint.
And we are discussing signing players of the caliber of Wellbeck? And more to the point, thinking he may even consider a move to us ?
😂🤣😂🤣

[SN0W]

Well that was fun imagining that one happening. Can someone do another one tomorrow?

It's Wilshere on Facebook....

Jack Wilshere? Danny Welbeck? We probably couldn’t afford Jack Colback.
