Danny Welbeck: Arsene Wenger cryptic over striker's Arsenal move

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he would not
have signed striker Danny Welbeck on transfer
deadline day had he been in the country.
The 23-year-old left boyhood club Manchester United
in a £16m switch to the Gunners while Wenger
was away in Rome for a charity game.
Wenger said: "If I'd stayed at home he wouldn't be
here now."
He refused to elaborate on that but added he initially
wanted Welbeck on loan with an option to buy.
However, Wenger said he was "happy" to make the
transfer permanent - though he would not reveal
whether Welbeck will start against Manchester City
on Saturday.
"I cannot tell you if Welbeck will
start but it's a possibility. I have
to assess the squad," said the
Frenchman.
Welbeck, who scored both of England's goals in
the 2-0 win over Switzerland on Monday, is
confident he can score plenty of goals for Arsenal if
he is given a run of games as an out-and out striker.
"Once I get into the box and get the opportunities I
have got faith in my ability," he said.
"Before I wasn't getting into the box because I wasn't
playing too much as a striker and I had to worry
about my defensive work. Once I get the opportunity
and a run of games up front I will do my best."
Midfielder Aaron Ramsey could also be fit to start
against the Premier League champions at the
Emirates Stadium.
The player went over on his ankle in Wales' 2-1
victory over Andorra in midweek, which was
played on a 3G pitch.
"His ankle injury will be assessed today, he has a
little chance of playing on Saturday," said Wenger.
He said he was "relieved" the injury was not a bad
one, adding: "I was haunted in my head about last
year's injury, it was a little muscular injury and he
was then out for three months."
Ramsey had earlier said he believed he would be
fit for Saturday's game.

perhaps wenger would have gotten falcao.
