    We've got RVP for that. Point is, he was a decent back up striker and could at least score when coming off the bench. Park doesn't get games and Chamakh is terrible.

    We're paying Henry a decent wage to be here. That's how bad our striking options are. Not sure why Wenger bought Park. He can't be that bad and he can't be much worse than Bendy and Champax.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
