The sexual tension is paramount...
Welbeck is a great team player.
Our attacking play flow a lot smoother when he is on the pitch. He is a fairly strong player, with good jumping reach, good movement and good acceleration. He also knows a few tricks to beat defenders. His attributes are great for almost any tactics, so a lot of managers would love to have him in their teams.
If the opponent plays attack, he can use his pace to counter. If the opponent park the bus, he can use his height. His movement, passing, and one-twos would always guarantee space created. His physical abilities (especially jumping reach) would help us to keep possession whenever we are forced to play a long ball, as well as to attack and defend corners. In addition to the above, his movement in defensive pressing is as intelligent (and efficient) as his movement in attacking play.
His only weakness is just that he is inconsistent in finishing. But he offered a lot more than just scoring goals for the team.
If you comment on him as an individual player, you may criticise him on what he couldn't do well. But when it comes to tactics, he might be one of the most useful players in our team. Therefore, it will be unfair to make direct comparisons of him to other strikers.
You don't just count his contribution by goals. It's unfair to him, given that his contribution are in lots of other areas.Think he was on his way to score 30 goals this season. Shame.

4 can easily turn into 14 at Arsenal. You never know. And to think some people wanted Giroud to leave.Poor Danny - he's come to the right club though. We're the injury specialists!:confused:

Thats cause we already know Welbeck's a poor finisher. Lacazette still hasn't established his level. Personally I feel more surpised when welbeck puts one in rather than missing. Love Welbz though, for the other qualities he brings to the team.Really surprised to see Lacazette getting stick from Arsenal fans for missing that very tough rebound shot when Welbeck missing a sitter of a header is not discussed at all.
Giroud absolutely would have scored off Welbeck's clear chance and Lacazette probably would have.
Anyone ignoring Welbeck's miss of a higher percentage chance but mentioning Lacazette missing a much more difficult shot has a clear agenda.
