I've just spoke to a lad that does get stuff he's heard it's Welbeck, if true I'm happy with that alongside the options we have.
I've just been listening to an interview with Fabian Hurzeler from yesterday and based on that if they are letting Welbeck go then he doesn't know about it and it will be against his will - he was waxing lyrical about him, his contribution and his importance to the squad last season and this coming season. Willingly brought him up several times to say how great he is, 'ageing like a fine wine' apparently.

Was the free BBC Sounds Football Daily podcast if anyone is interested or wants to listen for themselves rather than rely on my paraphrasing..
 
Good appointment that. Need to be trying to squeeze everything out of the squad to get results and a set piece coach is a great way to do that, can nick you points when you play poorly.

Charlton were excellent from set pieces last season and they scored their late winner on Saturday from one with quite a clever routine. Ball to the back post which drags defenders to the ball, header down to the open man in the 6 yard box.
 
I'll always call them the "Til the enders". Massive paining of Tommy Watson on the wall. I'll post another tonight on my way back from graft depending on lighting. It's opposite City Hall. Class.
It would be nice to see a whole Muriel of the Til the Enders on some building in the city and certainly in or outside of the Stadium.. Everyone of us should be proud as owt for what these lads achieved.

(yes I know)
 
We have new specialist coaches now who I imagine will be working privately on the 10 goals, from set pieces, we'll need.

So far in the friendlies, unless I'm wrong, almost every dead ball has been just that ...

... every corner has ceased to be, free kicks are bereft of life, they rest in peace and currently pushing up the daisies <laugh>

Every little helps ...
 
At this stage of the window I'd be leaning more towards Welbeck than others ...

... would be settled in after five minutes, in the dressing room, and no issues with playing meaningless internationals.

If we can get him on a few language courses, all the better.
Would be great signing, final part of a solid spine

Looking at the upcoming fixtures, across the leagues, I'd guess RLB's shoulders went down when he realised it's not Saturday/Tuesday/Saturday every week.

I genuinely think the Championship fixture overload puts off foreign coaches.

In France RLB would've had time to walk his dog ...

... and allow it to bite other dogs <laugh>
 
Loved welbeck on loan and like him as a bloke but signing him doesn't excite me in the slightest. He's not even a one in four striker and while I understand much of his career has been off the bench, it's just not a record that gets me going. He's also 35 in a couple of months.

Not against it. Understand the merit of it. But it doesn't excite me at all.

Think his experience will be invaluable to us though, likely won’t be playing week in, week out.
