Flip Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 You'd f***ing love Colocho if he was born in Rio I'd hate him even more for bringing shame to such a beautiful country if it was true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I've decided that I really really really really want us to sign Bendtner. http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2008/12/23/1230027903260/bendtner-001.jpg Willing to hand write a desperate plea and deliver it to him by hand if any other forum members would care to lend their signature?

I guess I would settle for him on deadline day if no other striker had been signed. I'd still be quite annoyed really. Everytime I see him, he's turboshit. My 2 Arsenal mates at work who watch him a lot more regularly than myself despise him and they gleefully hope we'll end up with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I think we would suit him. He would consistently start for us and up front too, which is something he hasn't necessarily been getting at Arsenal. He'd also be pretty much worshipped if he was a success as our number 9, something which he clearly longs for/feels he deserves. I'm not saying he would suddenly become world class but I think for where we are now he's just about the best we could do and it would be a good move both for him and us.

SiLvOR Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I see your point. The step down from Arsenal might be what it takes to reign in his ego a bit too, which could in turn see a better, more focused player. I just don't rate him at all personally and would probably get mocked ridiculously at work if we sign him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Has a solid goal scoring record in the eeePL. Has Arsenal pedigree. Strong mentality. Can lead the line. Can play as a second striker. Perfect for us. Awesome. Too expensive. Wenger is a c***. Not awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 btw a massive ego is exactly what a striker needs. Just so full of self confidence; nothing will dent him. Remember his shocking display against Burnley? He only went and smashed a hat trick past Porto in the Champions League a few days latter. What a man.

I just don't rate him at all personally and would probably get mocked ridiculously at work if we sign him to be honest a lot of the games I've seen him play he hasn't exactly stood out, but then at times he does show flashes of brilliance. I can't remember who Arsenal were playing but there was a game last season when they were desperately searching for a goal and Bendtner beat a defender to a long ball, controlled it superbly, turned another defender and then hammered it past the keeper. He looked so determined to score. I think if he was in the right frame of mind he could still become a very good player. He is only 23 afterall. I think with a consistent run of games up front he could get a bit of momentum going and maybe even notch 15-20 goals. Undeniably would be a bit of a gamble though.

To be fair that goal against us in the league cup was pretty good, just leathered it in I was just sitting there like really? Did he just do that? I don't know, I think his determination is admirable, but to me he's very hit and miss and reminds me of Shola. Decent once every 10 or 15 games. As you say though, he is still young. I'd still wish him all the best and support him if he were to come here, I'd just assume we could get better with our funds available to us right now.

ponsaelius Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Nicklas Bendtner is an absolutely outstanding footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Bit far. I'd take him here though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Bendtner is miles better than Shola. Serious. I get what you were trying to do with the comparison, but please don't. Hell, even the comparison is inaccurate. Bendtner is far more consistent and far more determined than Shola. He's also twice the player on any given day.

Oakie Doke Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It's never going to happen anyway. Don't they want £10m for him? Would probably represent too big a gamble for Ashley. I'd like to see it happen though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 The Arsenal people at work say he would be a great signing for almost anyone in the league. I would be optimistic if we signed him, but I think he would get grief from the fans if he didn't start brilliantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Bendtner is not consistent infront of goal like Shola but is consistent in actually being able to control the ball when it's passed to him etc unlike Shola. I'd take him here in a heartbeat. He should only going to get better too and as he is first choice and leads the line for a decent nation even if he didn't you'd still probably break even on sale fee should we be so inclined so he doesn't really represent a gamble for me other that in we probably wouldn't have anymore money left for new boreholes or boat trips.
