From a state of shock, denial, pain, anger and depression, Arsenal fans have worked their way through to support their new signing from Manchester United. Danny Welbeck, who was roped in by the Gunners on the deadline day is yet to feature in an Arsenal shirt, but the Gooners had the chance to see him in action during the International break.
Last night Welbeck scored a brace in the Euro 2016 qualifiers match against Switzerland exciting the Arsenal fans who have started to believe in their new man.
It might have been tough to imagine Welbeck in an Arsenal shirt after having seen him play for the Red Devils for such a long time, but the fans are genuinely excited about their new arrival. With Giroud injured for an extended time, they have their hopes pinned on the English International to lead the line and Welbeck’s first test is against league Champions Manchester City when the Premier League resumes this weekend.
So here are some of the reactions from Arsenal fans after Welbeck’s last performance for the Three Lions.
Lovin it that #Welbecks now a gooner!

This is why I've been excited by the Welbeck signing. He's got pace & power – and if he plays centre-forward he'll score buckets of goals.
