Would you prefer Sheep Gooner?

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner believes he will be better than Sweden star Zlatan Ibrahimovic within three years.
The 21-year-old Denmark international is still yet to establish himself as a regular starter at Arsenal, but he is convinced that he will have a breakthrough year next season.
And, ahead of his country’s World Cup qualifier against Sweden on Saturday, he has revealed that he plans to outshine the Inter striker in the coming years.
“In about three years, I will be better than Zlatan,” he told BT.
“He is older than me and has now reached his peak as the top scorer in Serie A, but I have a plan, I believe in it and I am ready.
“Next season, I can finally make my breakthrough and then I still have two years to become better than Zlatan – and I will.
“By then I will be close to my peak and will be able to look upon myself as one of the world’s greatest strikers.”

I don't know if this is the article you're referring to but perhaps you missed this thread: viewtopic.php?f=46&t=9315&hilit=+bendtner+f***ked+offthe real gooner wrote:Inchpractice wrote:You forgot to mention the fact that he signed his new contract before it was even printed. Respect.

No, I'd prefer knee-jerk gooner.the real gooner wrote:Imo Bentdner would have got nowhere near any of the squads/teams we have had that have won things. He's perfectly suited to the role of sub in a team/squad that nearly wins things.
You seem to have forgotten that he's our fourth choice striker. If you want to talk about teams that win things, who was our fourth choice striker during the Invincibles season? Can you even remember? Did he help us win things/score crucial goals? Did he score 15 goals that season?
When he comes on as a sub he scores a goal, often the winning goal. What more do you want your subs to do?the real gooner wrote:At 20 I was in 1 Para. We didn't have subs.

No, he's a substitute. Subs are supposed to be weaker than the first team starters, that's how football works.
I can't really believe I'm having to explain this but in football, if the sub is at the same level and age as the person who is starting ahead of him, he gets bored of sitting on the bench and leaves the club.
You may not have noticed but at Arsenal Football Club our substitutes are younger and often weaker than the players who start ahead of them. This is because we can't afford to have two first teams on the same wages. It's also known as a system of development whereby the younger players, by coming on as a sub, gradually learn their trade throughout the season.
Some other subs that have gone on to become first team players include RVP, Adebayor, Fabregas, Song, Clichy etc. etc.
Can you see a pattern here...?

the real gooner wrote:Can't work whether your more patronising than crass with this. The subs bench is used strategically. It's not just a row of players who aren't as good as the first 11. Arsahvin as many have posted here was a surprise bench player for the semi. That was a tactic, a tactic is an element that contributes to a strategy. I can't really believe I have to explain how this works....blah blah blah. Any way imo Bentdner has a poor first touch and will never make it as a gooner legend. It's an opinion. It doesn't mean that I care less for the club or that I am right. Only time will tell
