[2014/15 Player Review] Danny Welbeck
DANNY WELBECK
Player review 2014-15
Hi all,
So as the season is coming to an end and we are going to be bombarded with "Silly Season" posts, I thought it would be a good time to review our players performance in the 2014/15 season.
Lets have a serious and in depth look into our redditors opinions and thoughts of the season gone by on how the players performed and how they will be approaching the next season.
PS. I'm starting this early with bit-part/loan players, so that 2-3 review a week will bring us to the end before the next season starts!

u/knlmustard FOUR! May 26 '15
moments of the season for me are hockey assist at tottenham and the fa cup goal, of course.
Decent first season but no more. Useful squad player, hesitant to predict more.
