Which way do you go?
I go Welbeck, but as you probably know, I've always rated him very highly.

Welbeck without a doubt. Don't think either are world class but if you're going to spend that much then at least get someone that will work for the team. Baloteli has been given plenty of chances to prove himself and has failed every time. I really hope that Welbeck will take the chance he's been given at Arsenal and will step up to the next level.

You put another 8 mill with it, buy Fellaini with it before his price goes up in August, then end up putting another few million on top to get him in the last few days of the window.
I would buy 8 million European lottery tickets

So many better players you could bring in for that kind money.

Or pay off an incompetent manager and CEO!
At the moment it is a no brainer. Who knows, if Balotelli ever gets his head right they may both turn out to be bargains.

Its all good and well aftertiming but I reckon most people who would have had the choice over the summer would have picked Balotelli.
I suspect this might be more of a poop stirring exercise though.

Sounds like a form of slavery.......... All be it very expensive.

No brainer. Wellbeck looks hungry and keen and Balotelli looks like he can't be bothered and only there for the cash. He's got baggage and it was a huge outlay for a striker not proven in PL. Wellbeck will only get better under Wenger

Not at all.
It's interesting that Welbeck got so much flack when in the England world cup squad and some people, me included, thought Balotelli could have been the transfer of the season for just £16M.
How things have turned out differently!
I just wanted to garner peoples' opinions, now that we're a few weeks into the season, and the fact that they both cost £16M gives the comparison some sort of credibility.
I have far better ways of poop stirring

I think it's a fair question. I thought Ballotelli could be a snip at £16m, starting to wonder why another striker isn't being given a chance to show what he can do.
What has happened to Rickie Lambert. I really rate him and think he would be a much better bet than Balotelli at the moment. Has he upset Rodgers?

Huge outlay ?
In terms of modern day prices like £11 mil for a striker in the champ £16mil isn't huge for either player who both have similar records

Balotelli looks like he's just in it for the cash, he'll probably show some footballing genius, score a wonder goal, then get injured, be out for the rest of the season and be papped with a group of ladies cavorting on a yacht somewhere hot.
Welbeck, needs a few suet puddings to beef him up, not saying he's that small, but defenders are bigger than him, he needs to bulk up, get some confidence and make those around him believe in him. At the moment he's over rated but has the potential to be great, he just needs to realise that himself.
