    Has to be Long!! Bendtner is one of the most over-rated strikers I have ever seen, he only scores due to the fact that he as top creative players around him. Even then hes wasted 8 chances beforehand...

    I remember when he said he is going to be way better then Henry, his predictions are even worse then his finishing!!

    I'd have both but Bendtner is horribly overpriced. I rate him slightly above Best so would offer £5m for him but Wenger seems to want closer to £10m, then there's wages. Long would be a more sensible option if we could get him for about £7m.

    I think Bendtner would want the number 9 though and I just don't think he's suitable for that role.

    Heart says Long because he's Irish.. Head says Bendtner because he's better.. I don't care about the money because it's not mine...

    I actually think Bendtner is a good player. He scored 9 goals last year and don't forget that it's very difficult to make an impact if you're a sub all the time and there's no shame in playing second fiddle to Robin van Persie.

    That said Long would be a better suited if you take into consideration what we already have i.e. lots of tall strikers not enough pace.
