i think Song has been with us for a while now ....i thought at first he was shocking and hopeless with the ball , he has got better i admit but still unsure if he is good enough for the first team .

yeah i thought he was useless at first, but hes getting better. i think he'll definitely be worthy of a first place spot in the next couple of years Smile

Scoring 30 means nothing tho. It helps but means nothing when your team dosnt do that great. Just ask Mansfield Town striker Michael Boulding. Scored 22 goals yet his team got relegated

I means a hell of a lot when you're talking about how good the PLAYER has been this season, not the TEAM.

As for Adebayor scoring easy goals all the time, that's pathetic. A goal is a goal, and he has scored plenty. I recall him scoring many difficult headers, spectacular goals from distance and difficult positions,and solo goals where he has ran the ball past defenders.

Flipper, he has scored more spectacular goals than Tevez and Rooney - not that it means a lot.

So he has did well as a player. He gets paid to score and does so. Well done to him.

oh right.. i can't remember which one's his best shot.. i don't blame him for staying forward as he's a striker.. but there're strikers who do more than him.. and just to tell you this.. i nearly watch every single match of Gunners as my lil bro's a gooner.. so i know all of his goals..

i never said tevez and Rooney are better than him.. but i'd rather have them both in my team compared to him.. because these two work hard and play well as a team.. although they can't score much due to the problem.. but there's something i simply need to credit.. their goals aren't earned from easy positions..

At his size that would be difficult to attack and defend like Messi or Drogba , it's just not realistic.He plays the lone striker for the most part which makes it even more difficult,beacsue Arsenal would have no focus player on breaks.Drogba can do it because he's on a different level as a player and athlete, whereas i tink with most players of ihis size adebayor has got by without really trying that hard probably from a young age.That developes a certain level of conditioning in hiss natural physical structure ,not saying he's lazy ,but i doubt if he's ever really had to push himself oin order to be effective.
