With cham-crap away on ACN duty, and being piss poor anyway, could we notbring Bendy back? I am surprised that he went in the first place tbh, he offers more than Chamach! PS! I promise to be good Mr Letters now my ban is lifted!

Bendy won't play for us again.
oh
What's with the aggression? It's a legitimate question.Quote:

Alas, Wenger :rose:
So we should call back the striker who has imsulted the club and says he will never play for us again, and you say Ashburton ain't wumming.Quote:

Chamakh and him are both useless for us. I genuinely would rather play Vermaelen up front than either of those two...but then again, Verm is quality.
You're blaming Wenger for Bendtner being a fairly average player with delusions of grandeur.Quote:

With regards to the original question, he's another pretty depressing option. Not sure we need any more strikers who can't put the ball in the net.
And not on the right wing!Quote:

He was flattered by that goal vs Spurs which of course endeared him to everyone but he rarely looked anywhere near as good as he seemed to think he was.Quote:

Not saying he'd single-handedly lead us to glory but a decent option in reserve and far better than Chamakh or Park. Highly unlikely he'll play for us again of course.Quote:

Is Wiki still down? How am I supposed to debate this without access to their inaccurate stats? :angry:
bentner the man who says he is the greatest striker, fluffs so many chances. one on one v city, was through closest defender was on halfway line and misses. he is awful, stinks the place up and should never be allowed back
16 league games for Sunderland this season, 3 goals.Quote:

Seriously - Vermaelen upfront would be a better option than Chamakh and Bendtner.
:lol: that is better than Chamakh's record though.Quote:

Hmm. Have to say his stats not last season but the two before that aren't bad.Quote:

Just by watching him play I was never hugely impressed by him. He'd be an option if he were in our squad but IMO no better (or worse) than the ones we have.
Bendtner is lazier than Arshavin.
Bendtner is slower than Mido.
Bendtner has a worse first touch than Walcott.
Bendtner's finishing is worse than Heskey.
Bendtner makes Chamakh look aggressive.
Bendtner is quite simply awful.
There is no case to be made for him.

Bendtner is a travesty of a player. We have enough of those.
Bendtner is, was and always will be, awful.
Disgusting the way cretinous filth is treated on here.
He wasn't that bad. Against small teams and cup games he could at least score and put us through to the next round. But it's probably best that he isn't here. He'd probably being getting subbed on to play on the right wing if he was here. At least that option is eliminated.
Chamakh couldn't piss on Stephen Hawking.Quote:

He pretty much kept our slim title chances alive at the back end of 09/10, chipping in with 6 or 7 goals I think it was in about 10 games. So that was the reason he probably deserved a better chance in a central role last year, rather than being stuck out on the right.
At times I felt Dennis was overlooked, but he did himself no favours at all. His stupid comments to the press about how good he can be etc just set himself up for a fall.
But he's not the answer, he's just another largely ineffective forward that we've accumulated in recent years.
and he made it clear he never wants to again. would be no point forcing a player back midway through a loan to a job he doesn't want to do.Quote:

I'd take him back IF he is played through the middle. He is useless on the right or left. Wenger truly fucked his confidence up..
Wengeritis! :bow:
No let's keep calling him Dennis.
Desperate times call for desperate measures...Bendy really isn't needed here though, he's a limited player, no use to us.
Offensively this is the worst set of strikers excluding RVP that we've had at the club for well over 10 years...Arsene has made an absolute pigs ear of this position, no two ways about it.
Bendtner :lol:
Chamak's bad enough thanks, we dont need someone worse than him back here.
I think he'd offer more goal threat than Chamakh, and as a consequence score more goals. At the moment throwing on the Moroccan when we're chasing a game achieves precisely nothing (except irritation).
As for the position thing. Having tall wingers allows you the tactic of swinging the ball to the far post where hopefully your winger is making a diagonal run against a smaller fullback. Plus Bendtner is actually a fairly accurate crosser of the ball.
Unfortunately Bendtner never really made the proper runs or had a decent crosser of the ball on the opposite side.
But even if you could put aside the fact that he wanted to leave and said he wouldn't play for us again, not to mention his extra-curricular stupidity, he still wouldn't be good enough to play for us. It's only a measure of our desperation for a forward.
