Ronaldo Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Beyond ridiculous. Bendtner has proved he's a potent striker at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 You can't have seen many footballers. haway man dave, they're both awful. Caicedo at city was nothing short of terrible, and let's be honest the standard of defending in Spain is terrible an'all, other than barca/real. He's just not the type of player we should be looking at building our attack round. Similarly with bendtner, overrated, overpaid, over-confident. 10 goals in 16 starts is a false representation of his season and performances. Factor in the number of sub appearences and shots to goals ratio and you quickly visualise the player in hand. He's crap. With the players around him at arsenal he should be scoring 20+/season and contributing far more in terms of general play. How many footballers have you seen play? If you think they're good then I can only summise that you've only ever seen two players play football and have complete tunnel vision Man, I really wish we had Spanish sides playing English ones more often in Europe to put that cliché to bed. It's beyond tiresome now. Quick fact: 1053 goals were scored last year in the PL, 1031 in La Liga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Beyond ridiculous. Bendtner has proved he's a potent striker at this level. Given gametime at a club where he would be a starting, central striker and he'd prove it even more emphatically. The idea that he is a bad footballer is hyperbolic and idiotic to the extreme.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 We can forget signing an established 'star' for a striker. Newcastle wouldn't pay Andy Carroll £80k a week (rightly in my view as all the other players would want those sort of wages and we'd be back where we started) so there is no way we'd buy e.g. Hulk for £20m+ and pay him those sort of wages. I'd rather we got a striker who is performing well in an average to poor team than a striker who is performing OK in a great team. There's a danger in going for strikers who play for great teams e.g. Bendtner at Arsenal. They are surrounded by quality players. What happens when the quality of player around them drops? Look what happens when clubs buy Man U cast offs. Butt, Smith, etc were shit when not surrounded by top quality. I can't say I think Elmander is great but for free I'd take him assuming his wage demands were reasonable. I'd want another new striker as well.

taxfree Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Bendtner to replace Carroll would be bad imo. Both bearing in mind his footballing qualities, and also his attitude. And please don't say Carroll had an attitude as well. That is true, but they are not comparable at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendtner is an arrogant cock, Carroll is a cutie pie with alcohol problems who was well liked in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I can't help feeling that if Bendtner (with the same abilities) was a nice guy, people would think he's brilliant. If you can look past the arrogance and the dislikability, he's a very good footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Got a horrible, horrible feeling it will be Carlton Cole. The signing of Shefki Kuqi only makes this opinion stronger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EastEndGeordie Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Karem Benezema in a dream world considering that Jose keeps him on the bench nearly every match.

Disco Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Eren Derdiyok from Bayer Leverkusen. From what I've seen from the Euro's i think he'd be a good buy. He's big, strong, quick but no Oba, decent touch. He's also, unless injury prevents him, only going to better the more he plays for both club and country and for £6m we could do a lot worse and he is very likely to want to move here too and not just for the money for a change. Some people on here want to take their head out their arse and see that this is the type of player we need not the so called big name/big wage/big transfer fee players that have failed us so spectacularly in the past (I'd name players names but I'd be here all day). We need young, improving players that have hunger and desire to want to play and prove themselves in the shirt and ones that can only get better.

Guest Flatline Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Suarez has been fucking immense for Liverpool, Id say we head over to the Land of weed, Red light district and where blonde means "Kuyt", and get ourselves a 20+ goals a year striker! Should be a few up and around, and 10-12 mill should see some heads being turned! Who`s with me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthnufc Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 my choice would be: 1st- Thomas muller - wont join but would love to see him at Newcastle or 2nd - Kenwyne Jones - i know he played for Sunderland but would be the perfect replacement if we put aside the rivalry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Meh, any similar style replacement is more than likely going to feel horribly inferior. We need a small quick striker to stop constantly being reminded of what we're missing. /Ah jaysus, it's still so devastating that he's gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
