Bendtner is 10 times better than Adebayor

Bendtner is much better than Adebayor.

He's a better footballer, with a better first touch, better control, better positioning, more tactically aware and a better team player.

Adebayor has scored the goals because he's been given a good long run in the side and a chance to setlle in the team.

I say that if Bendtner had been given the same opportunity in terms of first team starts, he'd have scored more goals.

However, Adebayor would win in a fight.

He's much stronger!!

Agree?

What planet are you from?
Adebayer strike rate to chances is nit impressive.
But add desire,determination,tenacity and basic skill level and Adebayer leaves Bentner for dead.
Bentner may improve(He will need to) but he has a lot to learn and goes missing in games.

Bendtner is fantastic footballer than Ade. who is no proffesional and it is shown on the pitch when he knocks Ben's noth.What ever he may score he is indisciplined and bastard heshouldn't do this way just after BBC awarded him for his nicepast times.

Absolutely agree - if Bendtner had been first choice striker this season he would have defintely scored 150 goals by now, instead of the measly 15 by Adebayor. It's a disgrace....

John u are dead wrong. This article is very spot on. He gets the more runs in the side Bend has just broken into the team so Wenger aint playing him more.

"Who is a lazy sod and who works his socks off you must be bentdners dad cos your blind if you think he is anywhere near as good as adebayor" well berbatov lazy? He aint he is deceptively lazy thats why he beats his markers with ease ant Bendtner does the same. he creates goals and scores them. Ade needs to shun the superstar bullshit thats getting to his head. Nice article bro

had bendtner been given more games there is no question he would be better than he is now, but at this moment in time given the situation as it is then Ade is a more valuable player to the team. In time Bendtner could over take him. NB was a bit out of the game on Tuesday, marked out of it. ade on the other hand was a threat the moment he came on.

I wish he was because he'd be one hell of a striker. However, he's done very little to back up this assertion. Hence I can only conclude that you know nothing about football.

Adebayor is currently THE top striker in the premiership.

Add the fact that Adebayor has like already 5 years of top flight football in France and in England as well, not to mention countless numbers of champions league games, you would naturally expect adebayor to be better as Bendtner has just begun his career so to speak.

Good article even though it just points out the obvious which majority of fans cannot even get to grips with in the first place.

Plz don't joke. If u are a person who analyze every thing of a footballer u wouldn't write this article. Ade and Ben are two different players. Ade is working hard and that is why he is improving day to day and he can be the best footballer cuz he is still young. Ben is doing so but u don't need to compare two different foot ballers and post it publically. u are wrong. They are both the best players but Ben has to work hard to show his character as well

I agree with this article. Adebayor is overated and so far up his own arse its not funny. Ade has NOT put s at the top of the league, our midfield has. Yes he has scored goals but he has also missed many more goal opportunites, doenst understand what offside means.... The list goes on... Oh actually, lets add headbutting a teenager on that list shall we? disgraceful.

I truly believe that if Bendtneris given the same opportunites in the first team as Adebayor, then Bendtner would be top scorer time after time. Sorry guys but stop being so wet for Ade... see the light!!

U must be out of ur senses, which planet are u from? Adebayor is 100 times better than him for now, and he his still improving, Arsene is having 5 strikers at his disposal and only two are earning the results (Ade& Eddy), One is out due to injury (RVP), and the other are absolute SHIT, no team work btw them, Walcott wasted almost 66 minutes of play, he should be sent out on loan....

adebayor is better but no need do like that. he is older and must be example. even he is not realy so good player. if you stay for 25X90 min you should score some goals even some of them from penalty. to be honest just compare our attack with former atack when henry, pires, overmans , wiltord playeed. we are nowhere. we need be to say thank you Cesc and Flamini because our attack is not at high level

Well for now I'd say Adebayor is the better of them, but he is also the most experienced of the two. I truly think Bendtner could become the better one though. Bendtner is more aware of his teammates, better vision IMHO. Adebayor sometimes get to arrogant, and I get the feeling he sees himself as the superstar of Arsenal. He is a brilliant footballer though and can score great goals. I just hope he doesn't think of becoming the "new Henry" for the club...the go to man, if you will. I want the entire team acting as a unit, no one is more important than anyone else on the team.

Bendtner, to me, is more a proper target man, holds onto the ball better and can set up goals and score them. Of course, I would like to see him getting to clear cut chances more often, cause the kid sure knows where the goal is. I just hope they can resolve their issues (if there really are any) cause both have great futures at the club!

Ade is much better than Bedtner. It was proved on Tuesday that in over an hour of play Bedtner couldn't touch the ball and had 1 chance that was put on a plate by Wallcott and still missed an empty goal from 6 yards.

Ade came on and scored within 10 minutes and his link up play with the midfield, positioning and timing of runs began to open up the Tottenham defence... something Bedtner couldn't do the entire game. The main reason Theo was so quiet was because Bedtners positiong and movement didn't create any space which didn't allow Wallcott the chance to use his pace because Dawson an King found it too easy to mark both out of the game.

When Ade came on the game changed completely.

I think Eddie is a star in the making too... he is really beginning to come to life now

to me the article was harsh just as adebayor was totally wrong to headbutt nicko as reported in the papers.
at 19yrs nicko has huge potential to be a much better player than ade,his first touch is class and scoring rate from chances as got as ade is ten times beta.the biggest let down is his arrogance,the lad knows is good and its his arrogance and not working hard as ade that has limited his chances.adebayor has greatly improved but still needs alot of chances to score a goal.he is much a team player as he digs hard and keeps fighting despite missing opportunities.i somehow agree dat he has become boastful seen from wat he did.at the moment-ade is da man but its a question of tomorrow if nicko will be the most feared player on earth.muhamed h mwesige 0774078704 fortportal uganda

You have got to be kidding. Bendtner better than Ade? Please send me some of what you are smoking.

On a more serious note, Bendtner at this stage is just potential. Maybe one day he will be great but he is far from the finished product at this time. In his last two starts he simply has not shown anything. Previously, when he came off the bench late he did have some effect and played well enough. Well enough, not great.

Although Ade is still a work in progress in terms of his first touch and finishing rate, his goal to game average is second only to Ronaldo in the Prem. Coupled with his work rate and ability to open space for the midfielders by taking defenses with him he is by far a better striker than NB at this time.

Also, considering that Ade has had to play with 5 different strike partners due to injuries and Arsene's experimentations, his performance is even more astounding.

This post is definitely not from Arsenal fan. You look very biased. Leave aside adebayor's mistake and compare their performance. Adebayor is un replacable at the moment. He gives everything for the team. I don't even think King Henry gave us his 100% through out the year especially the last one. So be fair. I reckone Nicky will be a fantastic stiker in few years.

Bendtner is much smarter on the field, the way he positions himseld and his runs, also his passes, he thinks much faster. All adebayor does is run, and stand still protecting the ball until all players around im give him enough choises to play a pass all the way back to almunia... kinda like crouch. Bender has also much better technique and ball cntroll to go past defenders, and his first touch is brilliant. He is also better in the air, which is embarrasing for Ade cuz he is a giant tower compared to the dane... All in all, Bendtner is a better player, but he is a bit less experienced and less selfish, and of cource the fact that he only plays 3-4 minutes a game if at all contributes to him not scoring. The only reason Manu adebayor is scoring is because he is just there when the brillinat passes come from clishy, cesc, rosicky and hleb(sometimees also sagna)

at the end of the day, i cant see bendtner wanting to stay after this. i reckon he could become a great striker, but he needs to sort out his attitude. it may be healthy to have confidence as a striker, but i just wanna see some friendliness and smiling. maybe acknowledging other players when he scores... hope he stays...

I agree with you in the future, but not now!
Bendtner has huge potential to be better than Adebayor, He has much more power in the air and decent dribble, but if he wants to be, he much improve his personality at first, try to put his feet on the ground.

I prefer Bendtner to Adebayor, because I think the latter has poor score ability, although the Togoness has been improving since he arrived Arsenal, and he has been scoring a lot of goals for us, but it is just because our strong midfielder players can give him much more rare scoring chance. I think Nicklas has better scoring ability if given more time to settle.

Adebayor has 32 goals in 2 seasons now. He arrived January 2006. He is getting better and better and his ratio of goals to games is increasing with every week.

I like the look of Bentner, but he's only 20 and has a lot to learn. It's not a competition. Adebayor is becoming a fantastic player, Bentner could be just as good.

At the moment Adebayor offers a lot more, he has a much bigger presence on the pitch than Bendtner which is to be expected.

Personally I believe Bendtner will leave within 18 months. He is too ambitious and believes he should be first choice, I doubt he will be satisfied sitting on the bench behind Adebayor, Eduardo and Van Persie.

Bendtner is not better but he will be. In few years, Nicklas will be a starter while Adebayor will probably leave the club. It sounds ridiculous to say that a man with 15/22 ratio is gonna leave the club but I don't think Ade will be here more than few years. These two are going to fight for this one spot and they both know it, that's why they got into a fight. It's a very sad situation and both players should be pulled out of the squad for the next game.

Ade might have scored more but he has played so much more. But count all the times that you wanna kill that guy. All the attacks that are wasted because of his poor passing, bad decision making or his retardness in watching his offside. Bendtner can pass, he makes things happen, he provides opportunities for his team mates.

Those two are not gonna play together on a consistent bases. Either one of them will probably be a starter with RvP/Vela/Dudu as a partner. We have a fantastic striking force and we will not be able to keep all of these players. I count 7 strikers in the first team next season:
Ade
Nicklas
RvP
Eduardo
Vela (huge asset, even next season)
Walcott (I still believe in him)
Barazite (this guy is gonna be good and next season he will be 1

What! Bendtner is not Arsenal matarial. So far 2 goals is all he has to show for in the premier league this season!

The boy looks lazy and is often off position. Age is an excuse. How old is L.Messi?

Ade misses chances but he scores. And scores again. He utlizes both his height and legs. He runs wide, he runs direct. Ben does none. No wonder Les Boss now prefers Ade-Eduardo combination upfront!

Ben is a liability to the team. They have to shoulder him in every match. Les Boss should let the lad go. He is not Arsenal matarial and he shall never be.

Let the boy go back to Birmingham whre he was all season but has brought back nothing to Arsenal. He is the weakest link in Arsenal.

ARSENAL FOR LIFE.

Finally someone who WATCHES football and not some online news shit who glorifies the 'top scorer'

Ade's spat with Bendtner is no surprised, earlier in the season Ade had a go at Rosicky when Rosicky refused to pass to him when he was Offside and then later belittling rosicky for not passing.

Ade needs to stop thinking he is the BIGGEST thing ever in Arsenal and let his feet do the talking. oh u mean he can't control simple passes and requires fluke touches? err ok use his head to do the talking. Ade is a Drogba with lousier first touch, lousier ball control and lousier shot, basically Ade is the poor mans drogba.

Adebayor has scored 15 cos he is being consistantly played, so would my next door neighbours cat if he played up front for arsenal surrounded by a great team.
Adebaoyor is not the answer to our problems, Eduardo i s clearly better and we need to play to his strengths instead, i fear we will lose him if we don't as he's scrapping for chances at the moment but still scoring. Adebayor is a better looking Kanu...... get rid of him. Earlier in the season he said if amother big club came in for him he wouldn't rule it out. get rid of him.

Adebayor is way better than Bendtner. Adebayor is a good striker. The difference betwen him and a great striker is his mentality. He needs to be more of a team player. Henry was a great, still is. Adebayor can be legendary if he drops his arrogance level and gets on with it. He and Bendtner can be a great strike force if they learn to work together better.

The reason why Adebayor netted so many goals this season is down to the quality of our midfield. He muffed so many 1-on-1s, so many chances, but he was always given a second, third, fourth chance by our playmakers.

I honestly believe if Adebayor played for an average side he'd be the average player that he is.

Bendtner on the other hand is intelligent, always makes something happen, wonderful first touch, superb in the air and a better finisher. And he doesn't just fall over every time the wind changes direction.

Wenger will regret not selling that money-grabbing arrogant two-bob Adebayor. Either way, Bendtner deserves a hell of a lot more starts this season; and after these friendlies, how could anyone disagree?
