Was he the right man to bring in on deadline day?

WelbeckSo there goes another summer transfer window, and I have to say, it was a productive by our club.

We saw Calum Chambers arrive from Southampton, David Ospina from Nice, Mathieu Debuchy from Newcastle, Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona and on deadline day, Danny Welbeck from Manchester United in a last-minute deal on deadline day itself.

And while Arsene Wenger managed to acquire the services of the first four names on the list, the last one (Welbeck) certainly took everyone by surprise, especially me.

The signing of the former Manchester United forward has had mixed reactions from the Arsenal faithful as it was out of the blue.

I myself was disappointed with the signing of Welbeck, I really was.

Having been linked with the likes of Wilfried Bony, Loic Remy, Radamel Falcao and Edinson Cavani, Wenger opted to bring in Welbeck instead for a reported £16 million fee.

We needed a prolific striker to come in with Olivier Giroud out until the New Year, and instead of doing this, Wenger decided it was best to splash the cash on the England international, who isn’t known for his goals.

Any of the four names we were linked with above would have been perceived by the Emirates faithful as a very good signing, and while some may rate Welbeck, the Englishman isn’t the striker who can fire us to silverware, not in my opinion anyway.

But as he is now a Arsenal player, I wish Welbeck the best and proves me and others who agree with me wrong. But I have my doubts.

    it surprises me to see how people make comments.we are not telling wenger to buy a set of world class players in every position.any body that watches arsenal matches knows certainly that we need a prolific striker that can pair up with the likes of ozil,sanchez and what have u.sanogo and giroud are in that class.to buy a player that giroud can even beat for the position is unacceptable.the same old problem.when you have good strikers in your team,the upcoming ones learn from him.wenger has lost his midas touch by playing players out position making them look terible.HE HAS NOTHING TO OFFER ARSENAL.WENGER OOOUUUTTT!!!!!!!!!
