You make horrible generalisations Specnur. Your use of "you", i mean. I suppose "we" are a single unified mind...?

Whoever it was.....it wasn't me United's attack is so fluid with midfield/strikers continually swapping between a midfield and a striking role, but you will find that Ronaldo's starting position fluctuates between right midfield and second striker in a 4-4-2 formation, and even when his starting position is right midfield, you will see Ronaldo continually swap position throughout a game, left midfield, right midfield, second striker, striker

is it me? my bad..

ronaldo's supposed to be a midfielder.. but then.. in some matches.. when fergie plays jisung in his position.. he's always put in the position of a striker along with either Rooney and tevez.. and there's nothing wrong with that.. or is there?..

well.. maybe he's going to be a striker for next season.. since we've already got plenty of midfielders

You've won me over mate - Ashton is definitely better

Seriously though I rate Adebayor highly and if Berbs does leave us at the end of the season I wouldn't mind at all if we had Adebayor cross the North London divide to fill the void (I know it won't happen!).

When he missed that sitter against Liverpool my first thoughts were what you and CFCBhoy were thinking about it! But a good striker is always ready for the next chance and in fairness he took his goal well following Walcott's sensational dribble. I thought he did quite well over the two legs - he certainly did more than what Torres did, that's for sure. Talking of the Spaniard, I've seen him miss some decent chances too like the one on one against Inter at home and the header against Man Utd, but no one bats an eyelid at those. Note: please don't turn this into a Torres v Adebayor debate.

At the end of the day he's scored 3 goals in 4 games against both finalists from last season's Champions' League. That's not a bad record at all for a striker. Bear in mind it's his first full season - the guy will get even better.

would you prefer to have Berbs or Adebayor?

Of course I'd say Berbatov because he plays for us and he's done it for us. But comparing them would be a close call for different reasons. Both can score sensational goals and both can miss sitters. Berbs has more skill and verve but Adebayor has more strength and power.

But I know that you don't rate Berbatov that highly either - I remember you giving it out to many a Yiddo when they were creaming their pants over him last season, and when he struggled during the first part of this you had that "I told you he wasn't that good" air about you!

i have criticised berbatovs attitude and apparant lack of fight sure. i have never said anything bad about his natural ability.

i dont just rate adebayor as being among europes top strikers which is what Arsenal should be looking at to run their front line

That's fair enough but if Arsenal are looking for a scapegoat for their midweek loss they should point more towards Eboue and Senderos than at Adebayor. He hasn't done much wrong.

Surely no one can criticise Adebayor for his league performances this season? Quite simply, Arsenal have not missed Thierry Henry.

Who do you think Arsenal should be looking for up front then?

oh no dont get me wrong. i have not said he is to blame for the defeat or anything of the sort. in my opinion that lays squarely on the shoulders of Senderos and Wenger for sticking with the bloke through sheer stubborness i can only assume.

he had a good run of form sure, but overall its just the usual african players up and down season.

to be honest i dont know who they should be looking for. im not up with the european market and whos about. however what i do know is that there are much better players around than adebayor.

Roonanialdo, but comment was not biased at all. I was talking about THIS season, and that's why Drogba wasn't mention ahead of them Obviously i accept he's better than Torres. I don't think Torres is better than the strikers mentioned because i'm a Liverpool fan. I think most would accept that Torres is now better after the huge improvement he has made to his game.

Ronaldo isn't a striker, Saha and van Persie are always injured, Anelka, Tevez, Rooney, and Adebayor are all good, but in my opinion not as good. Although i think there's a lot more to come from Tevez. He has not shown us anywhere near his best at Man U in my opinion.

Adriano should be available. However he comes with some baggage; but could come for pretty cheap and if he leaves his baggage at the airport, could be a great acquisition.

Lukas Podolski is another player that could be on the move. He's not happy at Bayern Munich at the moment with the lack of first team opportunities. He was already rumored with Manchester City over the January transfer period. I feel that he would fit in well with the style that Arsenal play. The wild card here will be Jurgen Klinsmann taking over next year for Bayern Munich.

Also if Sevilla don't grab a top 4 finish in La Liga and a spot in the CL, the word is they'll be selling a few players. That would possibly mean that Luis Fabiano and/or Frederic Kanoute could be on the market (prefer Fabiano).

You're right, it was Wtebar that said it. Got you two mixed up. My apologies.

If you believe you are not being biased towards your team (Liverpool) then you are deluding yourself Sticky, we are ALL biased towards our own teams on this forum, and if you weren't actually a Liverpool supporter then your comment may not THEN have been seen as being biased, but other than that, all you are saying is 'I think the players in MY team are better than the players in YOUR team' when results show that they are NOT.

There's a lot of talk about that Benzema at Lyon too.

No, that's b*llocks. I don't even particularly like Torres. I like Tevez and Drogba more. I'm not saying he's better than them because he plays for Liverpool or because i like him more (because i don't). I'm not even saying he's better - he's not, The Drog is superior. He has however been better this season. If Drogba had not have been injured and away at the African Cup of Nations then he probably would've been better than Torres this season, but that's not how it turned out.

Benzema signed a new deal with Lyon in March that ties him to the club till 2013. Improved terms and a big-money release clause are understood to have been the focal point of his new contract. But the fact that he just recently signed it, tells me that he's off the market this summer. Unless someone comes in with some stupid amount of money for him that Lyon just can't say no to (which I doubt).
