Not Arsenal quality - bull shit
Never makes an advance pass - bull shit
Can't tackle - bull ship
Too lightweight to play midfield enforcer role which Wenger usually plays him in - bull shit
Slows down pace of game - bull shit
He looked really good in the Carling Cup run two seasons ago, but has gone backwards - he's simply out of his depth in the premiership.
He is Arsenal quality because he has played more games than any other arsenal player.
He has completed hundreds of forward passes, it is just stupid to say that he never passes forward.
He has tackled with a higher rate of success than any other Arsenal player (apart form maybe Clichy)
The lad may not be 6ft2, but he is never bullied out of a game and gives it as much as he takes it.
And he is (according to Wenger) one of the best passers and most consistent quick passers in the team.
If we say Denilson is not good enough judging my his performances, Bendtner, Walcott, Toure, Almunia, Gibbs, Clichy, Vela, Nasri, Silvestre, Diaby and some others are also below Arsenal standard because he has performed better than them this year.
