yeah he fell behind macheda in the pecking order last year, macheda would have played more if he hadnt had picked up a four month injurySunderland seem to be becoming a Manchester United's feeder club at the moment, understandable since Bruce and Keane were both captains for Fergie though.
Welbeck is a good young player, I imagine he's been shipped out to accommodate Hernandez, Macheda and this young Bebe fella. Hopefully Sunderland will be able to expose him to first team football but they are certainly playing without a big guy up front now, lots of pace though.
