I think Welbeck will believe that he is bigger than Sunderland, United will need to get rid now, just a choice if it will be loan or permanent.
I think based on what they have spent, it will be a permanent.

If leArse have really bid enough, we have to match it to have any chance or we may as well all go to bed now.

Knee jerk to no net spend in five seasons, gawd knows how many managers, and a front line worse than 8 other clubs in the league. Knee jerk.

Obviously you've been living in a bubble. Even Alan Sugar showed more ambition even if it was misguided.

You missed the part of all other clubs improving their attacking third options.

I wouldn't say @degoose has been living in a bubble at all? I'd suggest he's been watching this shitty Levy run club finishing 4th, 5th, 4th, 5th, 6th, in the last 5 seasons, rather than enjoying a successful season such as under Alan Sugar, when finishing in the top half was a result of a good season (y)

Why? Genuine question born from my lack of understanding as to why so many supporters seem more interested in our accounts, than in our team.

When you've answered that question, could you possibly tell me which clubs have spent more money in the PL over the last 10 or so years? Then, out of those clubs, tell me how many of them are facing the prospect of a £400mil+ stadium development? How many of them have stupidly rich bent Russians or Arabian gazillionaires as owners? How many of them have to manage and sustain hundreds of millions of pounds of debt?

Cheers (y)

Great stuff, and absolutely spot on matey (y)

Dunno if this has been posted or not?

Jonathan Hope, the man who says he is brokering a potential move for Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck, tells BBC Radio 5 live that three clubs want the England player - including one in the north-east.
"There are two clubs who will meet the fee, the other want him on loan," adds Hope.

I wonder which club wont spend the money? :D

Just because there is no activity at a training ground..or a manager says a player is not for sale doesn't mean things aren't happening #SSN

See, this actually makes sense.

If your a club like Spurs, who like to keep things quiet until there done, then doing things away from the training ground, where Sky set up camp on deadline day, makes sense.

Thats a fair point.... but in that case spurs fans all over the world need to wake up, smell the coffee and

1) realise that thumpings off liverpool, arse ect are going to be a bit of a normality considering we cant compete with them financially and that we cant beat them with exiting, free flowing football because we cant compete in that way and we will just have to scrap it out and play defensive against them likeca stoke ect.

2) that where we finished last season was exactly where we should be, infact an overachievment by 1 place because martinez CAN actually pick/find a quality talent and pull strings to get great loan deals. Whereas we have erm Baldini doing sod all and wasting a wage.

3) due to bad running of the club since harry left we have taken backwards strides by purchasing so called talent that turns out to be rubbish and then being stuck with them, therefore slowly letting other teams leapfrog us.

4) In the longrun the club will suffer because we will be back midtable and trying to fill a 60k stadium whilst unable to attract talent despite having more money because the top team are a gazillion miles ahead by then. We will be newcastle MK2!!

Absolutely. I don't think we're going to be signing Welbeck, but we certainly do prefer to do business well & truly away from the glare of the press etc, so as much as I don't think we'll be in for him, I wouldn't be at all surprised if we did work something out behind the scenes.

Apparently Jonathan Hope is not really brokering the deal. You could call him a fraud...

Just 1 short answer.

We have a club that is run within it's means. Up until last season, a season that was filled with total bollocks from start to finish, we finished above EVERY club that wasn't richer than us for the previous 4 seasons. We have a club that, unlike those above us (apart from Man City) doesn't carry hundreds of millions of pounds of debt. We have a club that can only go forward once the stadium development is completed, yet is still in the enviable position of being better & more competitive than 80% of the league. All of that is despite having one of the smallest grounds in the PL. What exactly is it you're expecting?

Just wait until we've got our new stadium, and all the financing bollocks has been sorted BEFORE construction, rather than doing what Arseanal had to do, ie not be active in the transfer window because the stadium has to be paid for first. Then you'll see why our club has been ran how it has!!

SSN reporting that Arsenal are saying no medical has been done and no deal agreed....hmm. Wouldn't be suprised to see Levy sneak a late deal for Welbeck on loan.

I hope your right, because I get the feeling all the above is being done to fill there pockets once they sell the club and from there it will be pot luck as to whether we sink or swim(y) there are PLENTY of clubs out there that cant fill a big stadium and as a result dont spend money on the best players, infact there are PLENTY of clubs with big fan bases that sell out each and every game and dont spend on better players. Its a tricky situation to manage and in all honesty id rather have a more successful team on the field (spend some more money on proper talent) borrow money for stadium then pay it back once build and we are selling out each match because people want to see quality.

As far as I'm concerned, either Arsenal don't want him or United don't want to sell to them, otherwise he really would've had that medical and be wearing Arsenal colours by now.

If we wanted him, we could have him. United will accept a loan deal right at the end because they'll want his wages off the books and he'll be pushing for it. He needs to play football if he wants a chance to get back into the England squad.
