Gervinho

Well the other issue is not just that we need someone to play alongside RVP it's that the Dutchman is soo injury prone we need someone who can replace him when he's not playing.
(which is about 50% of the time)

 

Basically we need a striker of roughly equal quality to RvP.

 

Ok well someone in his class bracket. Higuain, Eto etc.

 

Yeah exactly.
Higuiane, Benzema, Falcao, Neymar would all be brilliant signings for us.

RVP is Top Top Class but he's never fit and that's a serious problem.

 

Sigh.

RVP - Is great, I'm a big fan although he averages about half a season for us. (27 apps) So he Cannot be relied upon.
Gervinho - Like I've said before I dont think he's of the required standard. He's no better than Bendtner.
Chamakh - There's a reason he was played on the RIGHT for Bordeaux. He's not a goalscorer.
Carlos Vela - He couldnt get into the West Brom line up. There's no way he'll make it in England. He's another Aliadiere.


I think Benzema would be fantastic for us. He's 6'1 strong, aggressive and ready made for the Premierleague. (he would also complement RVP perfectly) He's exactly the kind of player Wenger would get the best out of.

However I do agree with you on Eto'o so I guess that's something.

 

People are happy with Gervinho because he scored 15 goals last season.

Bendtner playing a full season would score more than 15 I'd wager. He scored 15 in all comps a coupla years ago coming off the bench all the time. He's just not able to play on the wings sadly.

 

By 'we' you mean... 'you'.

I could go on...

Footballers, most of them are young, many of them (like Benzema) are from poor backgrounds and suddenly find themselves earning an incredible amount of money. So yes they do stupid things.


Wether we sign him or not Karim Benzema is Top Class.

 

Yeah I agree.
I'm not a big fan of the Dane but he's at least as good as Gervinho.

 

i appreciate they're totally different players.

i just find it funny that Arsenal have a player capable of 15 goals a season, but he's viewed as rubbish, while another player, also capable of 15 a season, is brilliant.

stats don't tell the whole story, and their positions are different. but some fans see foreign players through very rose-tinted glasses.

 

RvP had much more questionable behaviour than Benzema when he was signed and look how he turned out.
