City got Jo back on loan from Everton too. Just adds to their cluster**** up front.

If I'm not mistaken, they sent Jo back to Everton for another season long loan.

yeah you're right. They just sent him back.

Also, all you Gunners are really sold on Bendtner. You guys cursed him for 3/4ths of the season when he missed sitter after sitter but he strings together 1 solid month and you'd rather have him over Ade?

Even with his bad attitude and poor workrate he's still better up top than Bendtner.

Too bad he chose the wrong team in Manchester.

Man U. is up there with UNC, the Yankees, and Red Sox as far as hated teams go. You'd have to give me a million dollars to root for them.

Some may fall into this group (cough*Acid*cough), but I think a big factor in our lack of worry over his departure is the return of Eduardo and the addition of Arshavin, who prefers to operate as a second striker as opposed to on the wing. Plus Vela & Walcott are also strikers by trade who have been playing primarily on the flanks, although they may be better suited for a wide role in the EPL. Barring concurrent injuries to several of them (a real possibility with this group), there should be sufficient cover...

United don't exactly buy people left and right like the Yankees. City does though. :wink:

You say that like their new 11-striker lineup strategy is a bad thing.

Barcelona are closing on their first signing of a quiet close-season with the likely acquisition of Inter Milan defender Maxwell for an estimated €5million.

The thing about Nicklas is that he's only 21, he has a lot more time to improve. His workrate is great and in every game I saw, he gave 110% (some games he played like ****, but he was still trying at least). And after all the **** from the fans (which I'll admit I hated on him for a bit), he still played hard and scored a lot of important goals for us.

Adebayor clearly didn't give a **** about the team this year, it was obvious just watching him. I'd totally prefer Bendtner over him, at least Bendtner cares and wants to win. Adebayor just wants money, so he can have fun rotting away at City.

I think because of Arshavin's goal scoring abilities you could get away with playing him as your lead striker but Eduardo is still a mystery. He was playing well before the injury but still has to prove he's the same player.

As a Chelsea and a Drogba fan I know 1st hand about a player who turns it off & on but in the end I'd rather have the more skilled player out there even if he's not 100% motivated all the time.

EPL should be interesting next year.

I for one am not sold on Bendtner. The guy did improve during the end of the season. But he is just so wasteful with his finishing. He should be a second choice striker if we go 4-4-2. Behind RVP and Eduardo.

With that said, I would rather have a guy that actually wants to be at Arsenal instead of one who doesn't.
