He seems a bit clumsy and slow...but as he is young the jury is still out.

considering Walcott was being condemned as not good enough at 19 and his make or break at 20, big Nick is clearly useless for not havibng been a 30 goal a season striker by now :wink:

Not 100% convinced but I think he deserves time, wouldnt have him as a first choice striker but useful coming off the bench

I'm also not he's biggest fan but if he takes his chances when they come and sorts out his attitude then maybe I'll warm to him. At the moment I see him in the same light as Bentley :roll:

And that is what he should stay a 4th Choice striker who can come off the bench.But he does not have the quality to warrant a regular first team place
donaldo I challenge to say something positive go on you can do it come on

Bendtner hates Ade as much as we do.So he has got something going for him
Hope thats positive enough :lol:

Funny how many people are now saying Bendtner should be getting the boot. I for one said he was crap at the beginning of last season so Im gonna brag about that fact lol. Personally I still think hes overhyped and an arrogant tart to boot. he should ply his trade somewhere else. And by god if someone mentions the winner against spurs I will gerot you cause one goal doesnt mean shit over an entire season

True, but he did notch a few other vital goals, Villa and the Scousers home for example. Bad first touch at times but takes his chances better than Aliadiere ever did, and he had a better crack of the whip (in the end). Not the finished article but as stated, he is only 20.

I see this as part of an accumulation affect.

There are so many uncertanties, unknowns, "jury's out", "could make it" - more than at any time I can remember. If it was just a couple of players or positions then it would not be such a problem but

Vela
Bendtner
Song
Eboue
Denilson
Diaby
Adebayor
Almunia
Senderos
Rosciky
Eduardo
Walcott
Ramsey
Nasri
RvP
Gallas/Toure (can't keep these 2 apart :lol: )

All have major questions hanging over them/things to prove/developments to make. Forgive if I have missed anyone, I am thinking about players in or close to regular first team action.

With such a number of players, it is not difficult to accept that there will be alot of pessimisim around.
