    Who would you play upfront on a 4-2-3-1? Ba or Bendtner?

    Bendtner is 6ft 5 and good in the air, Ba is quicker than Bendtner and sharper, but if we're looking to play a packed midfield with a target man, surely we would play Bendtner upfront instead of Ba?

    To be honest, Ba is decent in the air, but he doesn't really trouble CB's when it comes to winning things from goal kicks. He's got good heading accuracy on goal, and he can win a header from a freekick or a delivery/cross to nod one into the back of the net, but when it comes to knocking things down from goal kicks or long balls, he gets beat by most CB's.

    Also, another question.

    I don't think Best, Ameobi and Lover are bad cover strikers after Bendtner and Ba. I only think they're a **** first 3 first choice force. Would you be happy with...

    Bendtner
    Ba
    Best
    Lover
    Shola

    .. as our striker force? If we sign Bendtner and Pieters, i'll be confident of pushing for the top 10, but if we don't sign a quality LB and a good striker, i see us finishing around 13/14th at the most.

    Ba. I'd rather play Best than Bendtner. I'd even have Shola ahead of him for nostalgia purposes.

    Bendtner isn't a bad striker, he just never fit in at Arsenal.

    Either Bendtner or Ba would be my main main, then Best, then Shola, then Sammy, then Lovenkrands.

    Ba. I rate Bendtner but not as much as Ba. Have him and Best fighting for 2nd spot.

    Bendtner seems Shola-esque (but cocky). Capably of brilliance, but rarely shows it. I'd play Ba as the striker, but consider using Bendtner anywhere across the 3.

    He's a WUM ****, ignore him.

    Ba, I quite liked Best as well last season. Hopefully he comes back and plays the way he did last season.

    I disagree Bendtner is better but I admit he is hardly good enough for the number 9 shirt

    I think he is technically very good, can you remember the Denmark England game at Wembley, he ran Terry and co ragged that night, he changed my opinion of him that night
