Oh, Danny. We love you, and you loved us, but you refused to get that little extra something that could've made a situation like this not completely insane (although it still is a bit mental - why are we strengthening our rivals?) and now you've made it worse.
Welbeck's agent via @talkSPORT - "Danny doesn't want to go on loan. He wants a straight transfer and he has every right to say that."

Ideally, Welbeck leaving for Arsenal and coming back to us improved would be more than bearable. But a permanent deal, to a team that is directly competing with us and is in sore need of a striker? We're not sure about this one suddenly, and frankly feel a little queasy. We'll see how this develops, because it might be a long day. Some are suggesting he's having a medical at Arsenal right now, others aren't so sure....
