Everton should go for Bony if they can't get Lukaku back.bingobob said:

League is very weak
Had a browse on Redcafe, Smalling is rated, many view him as their best CB and want him to get more games in that position, start next season at CB etc.
If Moyes wants to sell, welcome to Arsenal, he's a gooner too, bring Welbeck too.

Welbeck's just an athlete right now, his technique is very average in general. At 23 he isn't really young enough to believe he'll develop a better shot, pass etc, he's a bit of a weird player though in that he has the odd game/run of form where he looks great. Against Real at the Bernabeu a season or two ago he was quality, had a good run of form early this season as well but I always felt it was a purple patch.

All hypothetical, but he would improve under Wenger.

I really like Welbeck, but United might be looking for £15-20m. He'll improve alot playing regularly somewhere. I thought United would be looking to move on Hernandez instead.
I'm not too sure on Smalling. He's a great athlete but his managers don't seem to trust him as a CB. He's not aggressive enough for me.

Watching Smalling trying to defend depresses me. ****ing awful today and he's like that 9 times out of 10.

When he plays CB he's actually pretty decent. But if you read Redcafe you'd think he was the second coming

Judging by the last page and a half I see this thread should be re-named "average players we shouldn't buy" thread. Welbeck 
Smalling Kaboul
Next we'll be looking to bring back Almunia and Heskey in on loan.

Ugh I really don't want this guy. Such a nervy player. Not surpising in the current United team but he just seems average to me. Never saw the hype.

Kind of Chris to use our name in wage negotiations.
Welbeck, however, would be a great signing. This guy is on the cusp of something special. Always thought he screamed a Wenger player, too.

but Holding’s hair transplant was painless
welbecks not a bad player but we can really so so much better ditto for Smalling.

Welbeck presses very well which I like. I've not seen him enough to gauge his potential. He did have a little run of goal scoring when Moyes actually played him up front.
I'm from Manchester and a lot of my friends are United fans and they really don't want to lose him.

I'd take Wellbeck here, his finishing has improved a great deal this season, he has a high workrate, powerful and would give us loads of pace.

Makes little difference. He's just as cumbersome at centre back. Moyes preferred ****ing Phil Jones to him at centre back.

As for Welbeck, do me a bloody favour. We've been laughing at United all season, now we want two of their worst players? Who next, Cleverley?

We can still laugh at them.
For example, their first XI is dogshite for a team that aspires to be the best in Europe. Rooney is turd, and he'll ruin England's chances in the WC once again with his ****e first touch and Cleverley is a nothing player. Raphael is awful, and Evra is a dickhead. Their midfield is non-existent and Carrick hides in the big games with nobody mentioning it.
I just rate Welbeck.

In the past I agree but his finishing is better and he'd thrive off the creativity of Özil/Cazorla in our system. He has the pace we'e been crying out for up front. He won't make it as a CF there with Rooney/RVP, here he'd bench Giroud.

man Uniteds greatness wasn't built on the likes of Smalling and Welbecks, neither was ours - neither will our future greatness be. I'd have Smalling over Vermaelen and possibly Welbecks over Giroud but neither is a major fear.

Welbeck isn't anywhere near the worst Utd players, leave it out. Always does well when played in his favoured position. A victim of his own intelligence and physical abilities really, for England and Utd.
I would rather have Welbeck at Arsenal in the slot currently taken by Sanogo. He won't join Arsenal anyway, he'll do a Sturridge and demand a starting CF where he goes next.
How quick things change, even at a Utd with one of their own like Welbeck, a local kid, a youth product and fan, no one wants to be a squaddy at a club that's not doing well, and I don't think he fancies Moyes either.
