Lord Bendtner

He showed glimpses of potential when played up front. Think Wenger managed him badly, kept playing him on the wing, even well he was doing well up front.

But obviously it's not all Wenger. He didn't have the best attitude. Seemed to almost give up. Don't think he ever realised to be a good footballer you have to work very hard. Having natural ability is only half of it.

He was decent in 08/09 think he scored around 15 that season and then in 09/10 wasn't too bad. Scored some important goals in the 2nd half of the season to keep our faint title hopes alive which all faded in April.

Is he in the squad? There were reports he was being made to train separately from the main group or something.

Bendtner had more talent Giroud could only dream of. Good in the air, was fairly mobile for his size, he even had some quality games off the left so his ability was obvious.

Unfortunately his attitude and desire was slacking and he put on loads of weight.

If he fufiled his potential he could've been a much better option than Giroud in this current system as he had a bit of everything in his game.

He's also unfazed after missing and comes back for more something I admire whereas Giroud crumbles when doubted/or on a drought

Oh well

your hate for giroud is ridiculous, at least others make theirs funny

Giroud scored 19 goals last season despite the fact he was injured for nearly 4 months! No idea where all this hate has come from. He's a decent striker!

I never saw anyone miss more chances then bendtner.
at least he got into good positions.

Giroud is a world class striker and only ibra, Aguero and Suarez are better

Everyone else either a sideways step or step down

He did his best, he loved the club.
Why would he not get a great reception?

I really do not understand the hate on Giroud. I thought it was based from pace merchants playing him on fifa but he is actually amazing on it. GDL 4 LYF
