Lukaku Vs Welbeck

[Badboy 1,526]

so u mean tha welbeck and anelka are same type of player

Anelka was better in my opinion at the same age. Welbeck has guts though so he will make it far, Anelka was a natural talent who messed it all up in my opinion. Welbeck will be a starter for united and Hernandez will be like ole gunnar solskjaer. I think Danny is better then all of them as of right now, his movement is more crisp and he is more established !

There's always an element of bias when comparing players whereby some play for Chelsea.

Let's just concentrate on our own players and giving them the support and encouragement they're going to need to help realise the undoubted potential a number of them have.

Lukaku has huge potential, perhaps to even develop to become one of the best strikers in the world and I am delighted the club pushed through a deal for him this summer.

Too early to ask such a question.

Though people shouldn't be so quick to dismiss Welbeck's quality.

I hate this kind of stupid topic.

How can we compare a player that has not yet played in a high level, with a starting XI in a MU side...

Seriously, since I saw this guy playing last season I thought he should be our next striker, but soon I discovered he already was a MU player. Now its too easy to ask such a dumb question: Welbeck. Maybe in one or two seasons Lukaku turn into a better player.

And about Sturridge, stop trying to make him the best striker around, one thing is score goals in Bolton, another thing is show that you are good enough to shine in a club like Chelsea. Until now Sturridge is a promising player, no more than that.

Agreed with all of this.

We can only hope Sturridge will meet the hype around him, though I fear we've come to over-expect from him. Which could be worry in terms of fan backlash here.

Make sure not to over hype players and overrate players, especially english ones, because they always let down.

Welbeck has Rooney behind him. It pains me to say it, but Rooney is in great form.

Welbeck for Sunderland: 6 goals in 28 matches

Sturridge for Bolton: 8 goals in 12 matches

Just because Sturridge wasn't able to play the first 3 games, it doesn't mean he can't do it. He was one of our best if not the best player during the preseason and we've already seen his qualities. The notion that you can't judge a player until he starts scoring goals for a big club is beyond ridiculous especially considering he's already proven he can score against the same competition that the big club faces. Now you might say "small sample size", but where does that leave Welbeck?

Unfair to compare them because they play differently on the pitch. Lukaku is just beginning his career at Chelsea and, I believe, it will be a long and successful one.
