ponsaelius Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 That's why I'm glad it's a loan, so we can have a good butchers before maybe taking a punt. I think the lad gets a bit of unfair treatment from the Arsenal supporters mind, considering their team don't play to his strengths. I honestly cannot recall the last time I saw an Arsenal play hug the touchline, before whipping a cross in from the byline. He reminded me a bit of Ibrahimovic for Barcelona, who to me looked like he was getting in the way of all the smaller, more technically superior players around him. Ibra is one of the most technically gifted players on the planet. The problem was Ibra's playing style contrasting with Barca's tactics rather than his lack of technique. Didn't phrase my post very well. I think Bendtner is technically inferior than some of Arsenal's other players, whereas Ibrahimovic - who is technically superb, as you say - seemed to be getting in the way of things and slowing things down. Both were made to look not particularly good in their respective sides is the crux of my point. Zlatan does well when he's entrusted to do everything in attack, basically. Taking backstage to Messi (and the others, really) was a struggle. Looks more at home in Serie A playing a slower game where he gets time on the ball to be the sole creative force. He did look a misfit at Barca, but that said, I sort of wish he'd got a bit longer to make an attempt at adapting. Villa is a better natural fit but looked similarly out of place for longer periods last season, but he stayed fit (whereas Ibra got injured just as he was picking up pace), scored crucial goals and was happy to take a backseat to Messi - which has spared him criticism for the difficult spells that he had.

Guest Rainforest Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Zlatan basically needs to be handed the ball and told " do whatever you like and take ur time", he shines as the spearhead in every attack. Doesnt suit the one-touch fotball in barca tbh, that being said he smashed in - what ? - 25 goals? Decent like, then again as a barca strikers your getting more balls than a dancer in a stripclub.

TRon Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I must admit, despite liking some of Bendtner's attributes I could never convince myself enough about them to actually post here recommending we sign him when we had the chance. He's always seemed like a shit finisher to me and I hate that in a striker. Even now if you pushed me would I rather have him or Ba, I'd still plump for Ba tbh.

ShearMagic Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 People are only disappointed that we didn't sign him because we failed to sign anybody else (and I'm in that boat). Bendtner wouldn't have been my first choice, but he's certainly better than Leon Best and Shola Ameobi. Definitely not worth the wages that we would have had to pay him, but neither is Alan Smith, and unlike Smith, Bendtner would have actually improved the team.

Mr. Snrub Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 His overall game is better than Best's, but if the ball was landing to one of them in the box I know who I'd rather have on the end of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Randy Savage Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 At last a chance for Brucie to play his song. Bruce was an idiot for mentioning that he had a song in mind. Had we won, there would have been no song however. I know the head of PR at SAFC and she assured me that Bruce would not have been allowed to play it. She actually said recently there was no song in reality, but I'm not sure about that. It wouldn't have been played in any case. As for the Sun FM article, it is cringeworthy.

Guest Randy Savage Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 You think they'd want to sponsor your shirts then. I think Nissan are such a big brand they don't really need to advertise themselves and pay a fortune for the privilege. I'd love to see them on the front of our shirts mind, although Tombola are a Sunderland company also, and despite not being that well known, they are a success story also.
