Again, we let a better footballer in Perez move on a loan, because our manager has his new Ox project, where he delusionally thinks he can take a scrub and mold him into a proper footballer.
It's not because anyone thinks that Welbeck is a great player, but who would you play instead? Same question, I asked Cripps.
Giroud is a better striker than Welbeck, yes, but he is static and we all saw that him starting games, didn't work out for us the last few years.
Theo, Iwobi? They are average (like Welbeck) and I would prefer Welbecks energy and desire to prove himself to his old club instead.
Playing a midfielder like Neny or Wilshere are options, but I don't like the defensive approach.
Of course if Perez was at the club, he would be the best option, but he isn't.
