This is the story of two rookie strikers earning nearly $26 million (£16 million) last summer.
Welbeck confirmed his position at Arsenal while Balotelli only reminded people of Sturridge and Suarez.
Welbeck is much more integrated and effective than Balotelli, which is easy to see through statistics.

Welbeck at Man Utd plays quite erratically, the most noticeable point is that he often shoots incorrectly, even when standing in a favorable position, like shooting 10 times to get one.
Balotelli has not caused any major trouble, but his expertise has not yet met expectations.
The playing attitude of both is also a point to compare.
Welbeck, on the contrary, plays very aggressively and enthusiastically.
The season only started almost two months ago and there’s still a lot that could happen ahead.
As for Balotelli, at the age of 24, Liverpool is his last chance to grow up.
