I think Huntelaar is close to a deal already with someone else

With all due respect mate there aint no comparison here - arshavin is an absolute quality player that plays at pace, has got a great shot on him and see's a pass like few others in the game. Van Persie is good but he aint arshavin good lets be honest
Eh what? You believe Arshavin is technically better than RvP?

Without a shadow of a doubt

Id have to agree with Augie

love rvp but arshavin, like augie said, is just top quality/world class. his skill is superior to rvp - for one, arshavin can use both feet. even the most ardent rvp supporters can admit that he tends to favor one foot just slightly above the other.

as for the topic, we need to replace ade with at least another starting quality player, whether in the midfield or defense, both for depth and for morale.

Yes, let's sell our top league scorer for two seasons, bring back accusations we are a selling club and not replace him. We have a somewhat injury prone Van Persie he is never going to 30 goals in a season, never formed a partnership on the field and is erratic, we have Eduardo who we don't know how he will play now or if he can get 30 goals in a season, Nic or is still young, Vela who didn't look anywhere near ready last season and a couple of midfielders we can use as the number 10 or a winger.

How can you seriously believe that someone like Vela can step into Adebayors boots if he leaves.

We will need another striker definitely if we even want to come close to competing.

If we don't replace ade, we will be left without an out and out striker, who can stay fit and play 30+ lge games, I love eddie but he won't start 20 lge games and god help us if Bendtner starts 30 games.
It will also leave us without a physical presence up front, as bendtner despite his build seems a bit soft.

I've said this before and I'll say it again...Ade and RVP cannot play as a partnership!

Give RVP a pacey forward like Vela or Walcott (personally both aren't quite ready as they need to muscle up.

Eddie would be the perfect foil but is he match ready?

We would have already replaced Ade in Bendtner as both are more target men. Ade did have the advantage of possesing pace and could play as a lone striker.
If Ade goes this is Bendtners chance to prove himself and to prove him self to us!

Personally, I don't think we need a direct replacement but would like to see another adiction in another Eduardo type striker.

Further to this point about not replacing Greedywhore; I think we will need to. If we look at our current striker options realistically;

RVP averages 10 league goals a year (in a good year) and is hilariously injury prone. Could become a great 2nd striker for the main striker to play off (if he ever finds a partner that works well with him!!) but not a main striker.

Eddie is quality but he canâ€™t play one game without missing the next 3 and may struggle again next season with his return to fitness.

Vela looks quality at times but is unproven at the top level on a regular basis. He may make it, he may not.

Bendtner is not near good enough to be a first choice striker (impact sub maybe, but no more than that).

AA23? Probably suited better to a creative wide role or a similar role in the pocket sliding balls through for a main striker.

And AWâ€™s insistence on playing Theo out wide in the â€œTony Daly headless chicken attacks corner flagâ€

Great another Brazilian with an un-Brazilian name.

Let's hope Wellington Beefs up enough to be able to but the Boot in! He'll need to have his feet firmly on the ground but this is a massive step forward.

I think both of them are very good technically...But I prefer Arshavin to RVP as Arshavin doesn't do a lot of unnecessary tricks or movement. RVP is good to watch when we are up to 3-0 or something. I saw so many chances he missed the golden chances to score becos of his "skills"....

RVP is the best player of us last season??!! No wonder why Ryan Giggs is the best player for the premier league last season
