Not sure what the problem is. Welbeck wanted to leave. He wanted to join Arsenal only. Like it or not we are changing the whole team and players who are not part of the plan or wants to leave will be shown the door.
I was a big fan of Welbeck and I wanted him to start the game over RVP or Rooney but after the signings we made it's madness to moan about the loss of 1 player everytime he had a good game.
Only issue I had was the transfer fee. It was deadline and Arsenal had no one lined up. We should have got much higher fee. End of the day we should respect players decision too, that too the players who stayed with club for years.
Welbeck can play as LW or a CF. Is he better LW than Di Maria? No. Is he better striker than Falcao? No.
Arsenal sold us RVP so not sure what the problem is in selling Welbeck to Arsenal. They refused to sell us vermaelen which worked in favor of us. He is not good enough and reliable enough fitness wise to sign him. At least going by Sporting fans Rojo will be a immense player for us in future.
Also after spending 150 Million if we lose out top 4 then it's not because of selling Welbeck to Arsenal. We can only blame overselves. How can you blame any outgoing transfer when we have a team players like Rafael, Jones, Shaw, De Gea, Herrera, Di Maria, Mata, RVP, Rooney, Falcao. If we don't reach top 4 then it's players and LVG fault.
