i think one important thing to look at is his height - his body make up and whether or not his physical characteristics will aid him or hinder him in the future. he's a great height - 6'3" - to help us with our presence in the box, and he's got a great vertical, which only helps.
sometimes i wonder why he and abou diaby(who's 6'2") don't head more goals in . . . but they're definitely getting better. and they're sooo young.
i think our wingers will become more important this approaching year - they and their crosses into the box are vital to our game. we need to exploit them to beat certain "bus parking" sides. they, along with bendtner and his aerial game, are the dimension we need to develop and there's no doubt he's coming along. he can definitely make contact with the crosses. the crosses just have not been up to par lately, with clichy missing and sagna just plain sucking . . . oh and don't forget walcott's measly aerial contribution as well. his ground game is much better . . .
