I feel that with the forwards we have we can use them 2 adapt to who we are playing. The forwards all have different styles and abilities which means we can switch tactics and formations all the time making us even more flexible. I have confidence in all the forwards we have.

He likes to develop them himself. <BR/>Also economics come into it. Anelka's price is likely to drop quite substantially the more he gets near 30. He is 28 now. So in financial terms it is a bigger investment than it first appears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-21102336323715653032007-08-21T17:04:00.000+01:002007-08-21T17:04:00.000+01:00I also agree with Adam.

I can't remember any. It is annoying because he is talking about having enough players and not needing to buy any more, but already for the 2nd league game we had only 2 wingers and 3 central midfielders fit. Now Gallas will be out for a month and Senderos is the only real cover. And we are only 3 games into the season!!! We'll have more injuries and more competitions to play in. He should buy a player like Benitez did in Voronin. He was cheap but has experience and will score goals and not mind if he does not start evry match.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-31569096079013243882007-08-21T13:57:00.000+01:002007-08-21T13:57:00.000+01:00I definitely agree with anonymous.

If you spend 60-70 minutes doing fancy stuff and trying to pass the ball into the center, or break the offside trap, and then bring Bendtner on, it suddenly changes the game and gives the defense a threat they may not have expected. It totally throws a spanner into the flow of the game, if you will, and any disruption like that can only benefit the attack. He'll be a great sub in a couple months when he has some more premiership experience, because I feel he's looked slightly intimidated when he has played so far.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01428816290859257176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-83907328326133898332007-08-21T13:43:00.000+01:002007-08-21T13:43:00.000+01:00There is merit in what you say.Surely egos should ...There is merit in what you say.<BR/><BR/>Surely egos should be left aside for the good of the team.

I think Wenger should start him against the weaker teams to see how he does. I get the impression Wenger thinks he's too much of a liability to start an important match right now. I agree Wenger should think about buying another striker thought. With Adebayor gone for the ACN all you need is one injury and suddenly we have only two strikers left. The only problem with buying a big name like Anelka or Martins is you've got a big ego you have to keep happy and we've just gotten rid of the big ego int he dressing room. Anelka "could" prove disruptive to the younger players if he comes and he would definately hamper the progress of the young strikers cos they wouldn't get enough playing time. On top of that Van Persie is top dog now, if Anelka cam HE would want to be top dog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-13068548934621708712007-08-21T11:51:00.000+01:002007-08-21T11:51:00.000+01:00You may well be right.

It certainly looks that this is Wenger's thinking too. <BR/><BR/>It's just that for me Bendtner provides a different alternative within an Arsenal team that likes to weave pretty patterns too much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-296871622367775822007-08-21T11:24:00.000+01:002007-08-21T11:24:00.000+01:00I too agree Van Persie plays best when up front wi...I too agree Van Persie plays best when up front with a big target man. However I don't agree Bendtner is ready to start most League games. Adebayor is my first choice. Those two have played together more and have a decent understanding. Rio Ferdinand singled Adebayor out as the stiker who caused the Man U defense the most problems last season. Bendtner is cover for Adebayor and Eduardo is cover for Van Persie but he is also an option on the wing. <BR/>I think Bendtner's main roll this season will be coming on as a sub to help bring a different dimension to our game. A bit like Crouch for England. I think he'll be a lot better than Crouch but he is still young. Until he improves and matures I would pick Adebayor and Van Persie and my front two pairing and if he's fit for Saturday I bet Wenger will start with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
