Sounds like a lot of bridges have been burnt both ways, tbh.
Shame, as IMO he is every bit as good as Giroud and would have offered us a lot more than Chamakh and Gervinho.
Like Vela, I think if used properly we could have had a very good player on our books.
Bendtner is far better then Chamack but then are at least 20 strikers in the prem better then him.
Bendtner is an average striker but your right, how Chamack stayed and he went is just another clanger by wenger.
At the end of the day, Chamack, bendtner, vela, gervinho, park are just plain average and wenger went for them due them coming fairly cheap
Bendtner was 16 when Wenger went for him, so think your argument that he was signed because he cheap is total BS.
Also Vela is proving his ability in Spain, and was by no means signed because he was cheap.
For me, Vela and Bendtner are so much more talented than Gervinho and Chamakh, that's what so frustrating
Bendtner is a talented player, but an absolute idiot (usually off the field, not on it). I would've definitely taken him over Chamakh.
His talent is very underrated imo.
D'jeezus - maybe bendtner should not be in the cheap bracket but he is pony.
Vela - had his chance but wasn't cut out for the prem
Remember, gervinho was storming the French league before he came
Vela didn't have his chance. He was always played out wide in a forward 3. He's a striker, he just didn't suit our system.
Vela is more talented than most players in our current squad.
Forlan for united is another example. Crap in the prem, world beater in spain
Kamran - vela was talented but was not the answer
Also, he never started 2-3 games in a row for us. He only really got chances in cup games and in the last 10-15 minutes of league games. And usually when he scored, people would always say 'he always scores when we're 3 up'. Well of course he's going to score when we're 3 up if he comes on with 10 minutes to go
Bendtner isn't average, his big ego and attitude get in the way of his talent.
Bendtner is not good enough for Arsenal. He's better than Chamakh but that's a moot point because he refuses to be back up anyway. Vela did get some chances but didn't deliver when is mattered so he didn't get more chances. He's talented but mentally too weak.
Bendtner can't even get into the juve squad
Bendtner is poo. Other than Gervinho, he has the heaviest first touch in our squad. Even in mighty Sunderland, he got little playing time and in Juve (who are crying out for a striker) he's still 4th choice. Chamakh is pretty poor himself but I rate his all-round game better than Bendtners.
We have had some really bad strikers over the years
Every team has had bad strikers. You just overreact to everything. You're like a 5 year old.
Bar adebayour and rvp who can you honestly say was the real deal since Henry departing?
Eduardo was a super player before his injury, better than Adebayor.
Bendtner couldn't do anyworse than forehead and Chamakh.
The only thing Bendtner has going for him is that he's so confident for some reason, so even when he plays crap all the time he doesn't hide.
Kamran - Eduardo was decent, but his goal scoring record for us was very poor
You underrate Bendtner 8bit (sounds weird, I know ), he has scored some important goals for us in the past, even when he's not been first choice. He has got some good qualities, he's just a bit of a nob.
"Kamran - Eduardo was decent, but his goal scoring record for us was very poor"
===
Once again, you're talking utter shiiit.
When he first joined us, he was only making cameo appearances cos he was still adapting. Around late November/early December, he was starting games and scoring goals, 2/3 months later, the animal ruined him.
He was the most clinical striker I've seen in a long time before his injury, he never missed.
Kam I can't see him ever being good enough for first choice at a top club though. His touch and finishing are so erratic and he's not that quick. If he had a better attitude I'd definitely have him in the squad though but he burned all his bridges with us.
