How about answering the question instead?

Henry was played on the right-wing about 12-13 times at at the age of 21 at Juventus before being packed off. Balotelli has played up-front in all of his starts for Milan. So your comparison itself is daft. And if you can't understand why one takes Balotelli's mentality into question than that too. Yes 10 million odd for a 21 year old was a long time ago but Henry was normally mentally and Wenger had worked with him for 2-3 years. He knew him well enough. Sure enough this is a wishlist but I can't for the life of me see Wenger gamble on Balotelli as his striker in what appear to be his final years at the club.

What's your prediction as to the moves Wenger will make up front, G89?

Steady up Klaus, I really wanna know the answer to this question. I thought I knew everything there was to know about TH14...and now this happens and I can't rest until I get answers!

When Henry was Balotelli's age, he used to hang around with some very questionable individuals.

Not sure if serious but if so than there is a difference between hanging around very questionable individuals and being a more than questionable individual

Not a lot of top ones in the market. Benz might be but you can gamble on that and wait an entire pre-season to get him in. I think he may get in 2 strikers (one for the future and one now) or a striker and a winger. So maybe Remy and Lukaku or Lukaku and Greizmann/Vela/Sanchez. Lukaku is the one that would be great to pull off. He sorts that position out for the decade.

Replace Remy with Balotelli. If Remy comes it will be to replace Bendtner in Wiltord type role. Also replace Fabregas with Benzema.

Oh yes the all conquering Balotelli who scores goals by the.......oh less than Giroud.

He's scored about 21-22 goals from open play in the last 2 years at club level. The rest are penalties. What a magnificent record. 10-11 goals from open play per season. Perfect.

With a player like Balotelli, you don't look at stats. Anyway he is still young, and hasn't had many seasons where he has played a full season.

Ah the old don't look at stats theory. Strikers are judged on goals. I couldn't give a sh*t how if he scores one 30 yarder a month if he's giving us 10 goals or how good his touch is when we have Ozil, Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla in the squad. He was upto 29 league games by 2009-10. That he hasn't kicked on and got regular game time until recently is down to him alone. 30m for 10 goals from outfield a season? Im sure if you gave Bendtner a regular run he'd manage those without getting himself sent off as many times as balo.

Burnwinter

You certainly see these things starkly in black and white for a bunch of players with fundamentally similar numbers, G89.

To me the standouts from the group are Lukaku and Balotelli because they're both young and they both combine mobility with size and strength.

Walcott is probably a better player than Remy and Bony I'm not too sure on, but he seems a journeyman who wouldn't improve us enough.
