Seriously. If you had, you wouldn't be saying that. In the last two years he hasn't even lead his own MLS team in scoring... A league that isn't even the level of the Championship.


My mom is better than Bendtner. Even Chamakh is f***ing better than Bendtner.

+1 put Bendtner in the MLS and he won't score half as much as Henry.

I am starting to think that even being this close to a potential title, with it being the perfect - albeit difficult - time to reinforce in an obvious position, Wenger might still opt to hold out til the summer before getting that much needed striker.

A ridiculous thought, but more than plausible.

And if that's the case, then Henry for two months is better than no Henry for two months.

As someone who's actually seen him play 90 minutes this season... against the Columbus Crew... and have absolutely no influence on the match what-so-ever, I'll pass on having him back at Arsenal. Even for two months. It would be a complete and total waste.

Bendtner is much more useful. Even as much as he's hated by Arsenal fans.

I'd rather have Marco Di Vaio... the bloke who scored twice as many goals as Henry in the MLS this season. (Not saying I actually want Di Vaio, that'd be equally silly)

He's well past it guys. Well, well past it.

Yes. That's exactly who I mean. He's still better than Henry is right now.

I'd much rather have somebody that's far better than both of them. Henry's ability right now doesn't even warrant a spot on the bench at Arsenal. It would be a farce.

I love Henry as much as any other Gooner, but we may as well bring back Ian Wright in January while we're at it if we're bringing Henry back.

Theres a difference. Wright has retired and has been for years, Henry is still playing and can still score at his age.

So we sign Henry for a 2 month loan spell on the bench, with possibly a 15min cameo in an fa cup tie (if its a lower league team) and that would be showing the football world we are serious silverwear contenders yeah?

Lets get it right, if he did`nt score last time, and lets get serious about who that was against, we would have been a laughing stock on a massive scale. A few have mentioned the likes of Giggs still going at that sort of age, but Giggs has stayed in the prem league so his "work level" has stayed on par.

If you sign a world class player like Ozil, the next signing should be at least an equal level, ie someone who is still playing in a TOP LEVEL league .........not an old has been.

We should sign him permanently in a player-coach role.

If Wenger's desperate enough to play Bendtner after all the off-field shit, how is he not desperate enough to play Park?

Because the South Koreans wouldn't be happy if he got injured? Because he postponed his military service to stay at Arsenal. MAybe not.

Glad he's here, hopefully he can help Theo find his goalscoring boots and, more importantly Chuba Akpom and Serge Gnabry (who I believe has a future as a forward) can learn from a master.
What an excellent opportunity for them.
