Just got a feeling that Long is instead of Gedo and there might still be another striker coming in, if there are already deals in place for Fryatt & A N Other out be it on perm or loan!
 
Its actually not less then Graham. Graham has scored 15 goals the last 2 seasons, long has scored 16 goals.

Doff my cap to your accuracy, but Graham played half a season in a **** Sunderland team, surly you're not going to count them.

Long was 20/21 in his first PL stint, he has a carear total of 63 league goals in 9 seasons, 23 of which were scored in his one good season.

Not up to the level we need
 
Seriously lads & lasses, we're not in a position to turn people down.

We need a striker, and any striker will do.

And if he comes in and scores 6,7,8 goals he'll be our top goal scorer easy.
 
He is a different type of striker to what we have.
He is quicker and a better finisher than Fryatt.
 
Yes, he's a poor PL player, average Championship. Not improving

Not good enough.

Well Bendtner, Cole, Doyle and Rodallega won't have been better. Number wise.

Bendtner- 29 goals in last 79 games (1 in 2.5)

Cole- 28 goals in last 105 games (1 in 4)

Doyle- 27 goals in last 139 games (1 in 5)

Rodallega- 27 goals in last 142 games(1 in 5)

Long - 44 goals in last 115 games (1 in 2.5)

and that's if it makes any sense to compare the last 3/4 seasons. I mean a lot of Bendtner's goal (about a quarter) have been in cups and obviously scoring while playing Arsenal is probably easier than scoring for Wolves or West Brom
