Welbeck was never a bench warmer in Sunderland, he was so good while on loan he get his first call to the england squad and played for them while still in Sunderalnd

Lukaku has started half his games at West brom and scored 10 goals... Not bad.

his goal rate is good
but still he can't impose himself as a starter .. is that enough for him to start playing for a top club? not sure
as i said he is a good player with very good potential
 
Yet he has more goals than Welbeck <laugh>

He's 2-3 years younger aswell!

football is not only about scoring goals .. every player has different roles and duty and use in each club
Lukaku duty is to score goal, Welbeck role is to service the team and service Rooney and RVP upfront, working hard and closing down opponents to stop them building attacks, link up play, go back defending, run into channels ..etc.

Just admit it <laugh>
 
Don't forget, he's only 19!

3 years younger than Welbeck and already better than him.[/QUOTE]

chill out with that **** straight away, Welbeck is on the verge of winning his first league title, while Lukaku is making his way into the game on loan at West Brom.
 
admit what? compare a player who play now often on the flank in UTD to a targetman whose only duty is to score goals? SERIOUSLY ?

You haven't seen him often than, have you?

The only thing Welbeck has on Lukaku is his link up play.

I will not get into the schoolyard who`s better than who but i will admit Lukaku looks to have the potential to become a very good striker within the next few years. (I am not saying he is bad at the moment by the way)
