Take the best bits of Yaya Sanogo and Olivier Giroud – pace and agility; decent all-round finishing – slather them together with papier-mache and chicken wire and you might get something that looks a bit like a Danny Welbeck, a player who will run and finish at least some of the time, rather than doing only one of these all of the time. A team of princely little conductors finally has somebody more obviously qualified to clash the cymbals at the end of its orchestral embroidering. And all this for just £16m: half an Andy Carroll; one and a half Ross McCormacks; a Balotelli.
