If we have Downing and Bendtner in the same team I cannot support that decision and I cannot support the club.

When did you change your username???


Bit confusing as we've already got a themn, localny.
 
Bendtner's just a cock. Football-ability-wise he's probably better than Andy Carroll.
 
Oh Lordy Lordy. Seems like I may have to hire a PR firm!

Again, amigos, Roberto Martinez!!!!!!!
 
It has long been believed that Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner's first words were, "Yes, but why aren't you talking about me?" Even when he was still a teenager trying to steal playing time from Emmanuel Adebayor, he was saying things like, "Everything I do I always feel very confident, whether it's tennis, badminton, football, whatever. I just go out there and think I can do it and most of the time I can. What I'm good at I don't mind saying because it's not a secret, is it?"
With words like those, it seems his extreme self-confidence far greater than that of your average egotist. And now, Arsenal's sport psychologist Jacques Crevoisier has proven that to be the case. From ESPN:
"One of the categories is called 'self perceived competence,' i.e. how good the player himself thinks he is,'' Crevoisier told Swedish magazine Offside. ''On a scale up to 9, Bendtner got 10! We have never seen that before. Pat Rice [Arsenal's assistant manager] was sitting next to me and couldn't stop laughing.
"When Bendtner misses a chance, he is always genuinely convinced that it wasn't his fault. You might say that's a problem, and to a certain degree it can be. But you can also view it as this guy has a remarkable ability to come back after set-backs."
The test is made-up of 117 questions designed to test players' self-belief, concentration levels and determination and is overseen by Crevoisier, who specialises in working with young French players at France's Clairefontaine academy as well as the Gunners' stars.
You have to doubt these results somewhat, because if Bendtner's confidence really was off the charts, there's no way he could have made it even halfway through the 117 questions(!) before declaring his time too valuable to waste on such a pointless exercise. That aside, Japan should be put on alert because Bendtner's self-confidence will probably be destroying their cities in a battle against Mothra any day now.
 
I like Johnson, on his day and in the right mindset he is almost unplayable.
Paying £20m for Downing was mentalism, £17m for Johnson??????
 
Johnson may have promise but what has he done to deserve such a price tag?

He has rarely shown he can influence a game over 90mins. I don't think 17m is a fair price. We can get better value for money.
 
I am confused which Johnson it was. Another 17m Johnson and we shall have Johnson & Johnson! Hey

Bet nothing as good as this happens.
 
LIVERPOOL are plotting a £15million summer swoop for Daniel Sturridge to help fire them back into the Champions League.

New boss Brendan Rodgers will act quickly after the departure of Dirk Kuyt to Fenerbahce and the Chelsea striker, 22, is at the top of his wanted list.

It is thought Sturridge may be offered a new deal at Stamford Bridge soon – but his future at the club is far from certain.

And the former Manchester City forward won’t commit to anything until he discovers if Roberto Di Matteo is given the Blues job full-time.

If he does, which looks increasingly likely, the young hitman knows he won’t get much of a look-in.

Sturridge has been unhappy at his lack of games under Italian Di Matteo and, when he has come on as a substitute in a wide position, he doesn’t feel comfortable. He sees himself as playing in a central role.

Liverpool would be delighted to make him one of their main men and it’s no secret that they tried to get him to Anfield as part of the Fernando Torres deal when the Spaniard joined Chelsea last year.

Rodgers sees Sturridge fitting perfectly into a Kop strikeforce featuring Luis Suarez, Andy Carroll and Craig Bellamy.

But his old club might have other ideas and could rival Liverpool in the scrap for Sturridge’s signature.

City boss Roberto Mancini has repeatedly asked why Sturridge was ever allowed to leave Manchester three years ago. The Birmingham-born ace joined the club’s academy in 2003 aged 13 and looked destined to be an established star until his shock move.

I think Sturridge is a big talent, and I'd be intrigued to see what a good setup would bring out of him. That said,15 mil seems a big gamble. He'd also have to lower his wage demands for me to be up for this.
 
Ugh!
The most selfish player around. An upgrade on Baros-kind of player, and I really don't want him. He breaks good moves down, tries to take on 4 players (and fail) while others are in great position, and blames everyone else but himself. Scores some great goals, but I can't see him being a Rodgers' kind of signing.
Hope this stays as just a rumor.
 
so we've been linked this weekend with 2 players for over £30m who can't even get in the england squad . why would we bother when we've already got the top quality likes of downing and henderson who can .

Sounds like a description of Suarez!
 
Sturridge is a natural goal scorer and we need one of them. Should have got him as part of the Torres deal.
 
Funny isnt it. Id love Sturridge and Johnson as I think they would both improve us instantly but others are dead against.
I reckon whichever player you name SOME posters will be down on.
'Ronaldo!?! He never passes and doesnt track back, plus he goes missing in the big games'
