Feel free to post your chamakh/ park goals lads! Oh, you are, well let's be truthful, he'll not be with either of us next season. Differnce is we'll always give him a standing ovation, top player, thanks for not giving us park or chamakh, we needed a striker not a fucking joke

Now, safcftm, I don't know if your tongue is in your cheek or you've had a skinfull or you're still on the pills following the Darren Bent trauma, but I struggle to believe you'd rather have Barry BigBollocks than either of the Laudrup brothers.
You remember Michael, the one who played for Barca and Real Madrid. scored 34 goals for his country and who won the 'Best Foreign Player in La Liga' award.

safc's tongue is firmly in his cheek (at the times it's not licking Bendtner's arse).

SAFCFTM - if you had to rim Bendtner Park or Chamakh who would it be? Just out of interest O_o

The laudrup brothers were good but, alas, as they were midfielders (attacking mid for Michael, attacking mid or winger for Brian) they regrettably cannot be considered as strikers and thus cannot be compared to Bendtner in the best ever striker stakes.

Yeh, and he's definitely better than those other midfielders, Messi, Henry, Ronaldo, Drogba, Wrighty etc

Well, if we must we could compare their records for Denmark. Nicklas Bendtner, scored 16 in 44 games (averages that he scores in 36% of games); Michael Laudrup, scored 37 in 104 (averages that he scores in 35% of games): Brian Laudrup, scored 21 in 82 (averages that he scores in 25% of games). It's a close run thing between Michael and nicklas but I think most Danes would agree that Nicklas offers a lot more to their side tbh.

I would be staggered if ANY Danes thought Bender was better than Michael Laudrup.
Beware statistics. Michael played before the Bosnias, Estonias, Moldovas etc played International football enabling other nations to fill their boots.

ML won Serie A with Juve, 4 La Ligas with Barca, 1 with Real Madrid and the Dutch league with Ajax.
In 2006 the Danes voted him their best ever player.
Even though he only played two seasons with Real he was voted their 12th best player of all time.

Platini described him as one of the most talented players ever who would have achieved more if he'd been more selfish.
Romario described him as the 5th best player of alltime.

The goal he scored against Uruguay in the 86 WC was sublime and light years ahead of anything Bender will ever be capable of.

Still, Niklas 'I'm going to be one of the best strikers in the world' Bendtner has had a couple of decent games for Sunderland.

To be fair, I have said that Michael Laudrup was mint, brilliant attacking midfielder but as he wasnt a striker, he has the title of Denmark's best ever attacking midfielder. Nicklas, however, is their best out and out striker of all time. Not as good a goals record as Tomasson, but there is a lot more to his game and he adds more to their side than JDT ever did. Laudrup v Bendtner is always going to be a difficult one to judge due to the different positions they play, but as I say I think most Danes would agree that Bendtner offers a lot to their side and if he was paired with a prolific striker, they'd have their best strike force of all time, so I doubt many of them would put him far behind Laudrup tbh, especially since the lad is so young and so has plenty of years of goalscoring ahead of him

To suggest Bender is the "best of ..." and then taking any decent players out of the running is a bit like saying you're the best Sunderland supporting poster on this forum or I'm the best striker ever to set foot in my front room.

I'm happy that you like him. Please feel free to start a whip round. 50 quid and he's yours.

I think you're taking this a lot more serious than safcftm is, Spanish Joe.

Bendtner - The new Darren Bent? Folk hero turned villain when he leaves at the end of the season to join Newcastle.
