Welbeck

[qprvoyager10]

Calm down . Danny Welbeck = non QPR related => general chat. In my opinion at least.

Fair enough. Admin may agree with ya and move it. Think it's relevant as if poss going hull then question was isn't it worth qpr going for him

From March this year:

"The third most clinical striker is Manchester United’s Danny Welbeck. Welbeck has gained a reputation for his lack of goal scoring, but when given the opportunity to play upfront this season in the absence of Robin Van Persie, Welbeck managed to convert 31% of his chances. Although he has only scored 8 goals this season, this is an impressive statistic.

[...]

Second in the clear-cut-chance conversion list is Danny Welbeck. He has had a CCC rate of 70% which compliments his high chance conversion rate of 31%. Of Welbeck’s 8 goals, 7 came from chances which were clear-cut. This shows that Welbeck has been an extremely clinical finisher this season, perhaps the most clinical in the Premier League."

A clear-cut chance is the same, whether you're playing for Man U or Burnley.

And Charlie Austin would get approximately 0 goals a season at Man United as he'd get laughed out of training for his shocking touch and wouldn't ever make an appearance.

You (presumably quite deliberately) failed to mention who was ahead of Danny Wellbeck in the chance conversion ranking, and only slightly behind in the CCC rankings....Carlton Cole and Maroune Chamakh. See how stats can distort an argument, depending on how you wish to present them?

I think we will not, but of course would be worth it.

Was starting to think I was the only 1 who thought this!

One of the most overrated player's I've ever seen and how he gets into the England team is beyond me!!

haven't read all this thread cause this says it all. massively overated player imo.

Haha I make that 1-0 Surrey, this place would go into meltdown if we signed either

Or it's that your impression is distorted by media narratives and performance in previous seasons rather than reality.

Stats are the argument. If a player scores most of his chances then he is a good finisher...

The stat that is most telling for me is 7 goals in 16 appearances. That is one goal every 2.3 matches which is a very good strike rate.
