I voted Welbeck. Neither are prolific scorers at the moment but Welbeck is a good character and always puts in a shift:whistle:

Very fair assessment right now

Understand he had a pretty frank meeting with BR yesterday

He has all the talent and ability in the world - he can't waste it anymore

The only manager's who take on Ballotelli are the deluded ones who think they are better than all his previous managers and that they somehow have this magic touch. Time after time they are proven wrong. Ballotelli is an exceptionally gifted footballer with a shocking attitude.

That said, I've never been a huge fan of Wellbeck either.

I agree with all of this apart from Ballotelli being an exceptionally gifted footballer,I've not seen anything to suggest this at any club he's played at.
He's lazy & as a very average goal scoring record at all the clubs he's played for.
If he wasn't as mad as a box of frogs no one would talk about him.

Still happy he's back in the premier league,just glad it's not with Chelsea :D

Shame. Thought you'd be happy to put your back your view that he's a great signing and worth every penny. Oh well cest la vie. Doesn't change my view that I'd be more confident in Welbeck putting in the effort, scoring and creating more than Balotelli, especially on current form

If Ballotelli had Wellbeck's attitude he'd be a hell of a player.

You could be right,I've just never been that impressed with him. But that could be because of his attitude.
He looks like he really can't be arsed most of the time.
Gets the ball,can't be bothered to run so just smashes it. & repeat.....
He's a strange character.
Entertaining tho :D
 
IMO you should still have change out of £16 million if you bought both of them!!! ;)
 
Regarding his abilities I would not put him in the same level as the likes of Messi, Ronaldo and Suarez as a forward, but more like an Aguero. He can stick the ball in the net from anywhere, he has a great eye for a goal, he's big, strong and can be real threat in the air, but just does not appear to be interested. He looks like he is playing the game to earn money, not because he loves what he does for a living.

He does have a lot of ability and if someone can actually get him to apply himself then he would easily be a 20+ goals a year player.

Suarez isn't in the same class as Messi & Ronaldo. & Balotelli certainly isn't in the same class as Aguero when it comes to ability IMO.
I'd put Suarez & Aguero more in the same class,behind Messi & Ronaldo.
& Balotelli is way behind them all.
 
I pay off my mortgage and retired in the sun and play golf on my own course , otherwise its welbeck for me as mario is a nut cracker

I think that's pretty fair. To be fair Augero is a striker who can score from anywhere. I'm interested to see how Suarez gets on this season. If he sticks to football and doesn't do anything daft he could make a real impression.
