Arsenal attack options mean NO pressure for Welbeck

With Olivier Giroud being out of action for Arsenal for the next few months, the new boy Danny Welbeck should get plenty of chances and lots of time to settle in with his new club and team mates, and his new role playing down the middle.

But whereas some signings, especially strikers, are under pressure to get going quickly, Welbeck should be able to do it without feeling too much pressure. Some fans and pundits had a little go at the 23-year old for hitting the post in his debut Arsenal game against Man City, but that is harsh.

In general, his all-round game was praised and as long as he keeps working, the goals will come. The benefit for him being at Arsenal now is that, just like with Giroud, his job as centre forward is not to be like Falcao, a pure finisher, but to link up the play.

And with the Gunners having the ability to score goals from all over the pitch, the onus is not going to be on the young England international to score every time he plays. Alexis Sanchez, Podolski, Campbell, Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla and Rosicky can all finish pretty well and we are soon going to have Theo Walcott back as well.

So Danny can relax and grow into his new Arsenal career without feeling too much pressure to be banging in the goals straight away. Do you think that Wenger will be able to get Welbeck scoring freely for Arsenal?
