Of all the striking options we have up front- Giroud, Walcott, Bendtner, Arshavin, Chamakh- this guy is head and shoulders above the rest. Clinical striker. If this team could create chances, then having Podolski up front would make us very dangerous indeed. So much so, that we wouldn't be missing the c*nt who decided to go up to Salford.

It's a surprise that he hasn't started moaning about not playing in his favoured position (well, yet, anyway)
