Welbeck frustrates the life out of me, his natural attributes (speed, close control, balance, stamina) all top notch. But his decision making and predatory instinct is severely lacking. If Wenger can turn Welbeck into a goalscorer that'll be one of his greatest accomplishments IMO.
That said, he turned shot-shy Cesc into a CAM who was capable of double figures, so maybe it's not that much of a stretch.
“We need another player who gets 10 or 15 goals" - Wenger
End of discussion.
As the French would say "Un renard dans la surface"
But what does the fox say?
We signed him at 19 and sold him at 21 didn't we? He looks 40
A quick check on Wikipedia would contradict this statement:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003–04_Arsenal_F.C._season#Player_statistics
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007–08_Arsenal_F.C._season
I do not really see much difference. A similar range of goal scorers in both seasons. Most seasons there was always one leading goal scorer, one deputy with a solid 10+ and then a selection of players who chipped in a few goals (1-10).
The exception is probably 2009/10 squad which was quite frankly a bit poor that year.
The more I think about the phrase the more I am convinced Wenger is motivating Ramsey.
What our team lacked for years is someone who can pose danger from outside the box ala Lampard, we all know this is Ramsey's good point, positioning and long range shooting.
