I'd be delighted it Bendtner was 3rd choice striker for us but he's just not going to accept that and he's not really good enough to be above that. Only solution is for him to move.

Suggests Wenger sees Podolski as a centre forward, probably means no Llorente.
All of us sees Poldi as a CF as well.
Fact is he was never good on the wings.
40 odd goals for Germany, mainly playing on the wing, says you are terribly, terribly wrong.
He played as CF with Klose in a 442 before Loew came in.

either llorente or dzeko represent similar but superior versions of gee-roux. any links to either are a bunch of malarky.
Where do you find these links Dules? 😃
We need another forward (as much as we need to sell three that we already have) but I'm fairly confident we won't. Yeh... 🙁
i don't think they're all that superior to giroud but i havent seen much of llorente

Sir, I am in your debt.
Close this thread. We're not getting a high profile striker when we signed two strikers already. At best we might sign a reserve striker if Chamakh leaves.
SSN understand we are weighing up a move in January.
SSN sources can go fuck themselves.
Please happen.
Think we can do better.
I don't. Not with a player who has the popularity of Llorente. We'd have to go younger and less proven.
It's not a popularity contest.
I like llorente a lot, but I think I'd rather a more mobile striker who'll latch on to cazorlas through balls
If we really wanted him, we should have signed him instead of Giroud. We don't need 3 target men options, especially given how awkward we look when we play that way.
We couldn't possibly have afforded Llorente. Especially after Garcia was sold.
