Nicklas Bendtner has recently been in the spotlight quite a bit due to his new long term contract and undying want to become Arsenals striker. It is apparent, after completing a poll on September 7th, that fans agree  Bendtner is ready for the role and Arsene Wenger should give him a chance.

Well now it seems that Wenger, who in fact is very appreciative of Bendtner’s contribution to the team so far wants him to improve his goal scoring record.

Viewing this as a great opportunity to win over Wenger and understanding that the great attackers are measured in the number of goals that they score, Bendtner has confidently set a target of 20 goals for the season.

“In order to qualify as one of the worlds greatest attackers, then you are judged on the number of goals you score,”

“You could have all the characteristics but if you don’t score people can say “Yes, he knows all the stuff but he has just scored 10 goals in 40 games.’

“Of course that’s not a good record. I hope to see that I score 20-25 goals in 40 games.”

This gleam of confidence, enthusiasm, and determination is hard to come by and will be extremely beneficial for Arsenal in the upcoming matches as it will allow them to focus on the game rather than the drama that has seemed to be surrounding Arsenal these past few weeks.

Now after hearing that we would love to know if you think that Bendtner will be able to successfully meet his goal target.

We appreciate your votes and would love to hear any views that you have about his new attitude.

Recently, Bendtner has been very anxious to move into his favorite position as a striker and it seems that he has been on Arsene Wenger’s case about it quite a bit.

“I am an attacker not a winger. I have always seen myself as a striker and it is my goal to play as a striker all the time”

“Last season I played a lot from the left side and this season from the right side but, like I said, I prefer to play up front.”

Still reluctant, Wenger seems to believe that this young player has time to grow and has yet to move him to the striker position.

We would like to hear from the fans if you think Bendtner is ready to move Robin van Persie to the side and take on the role of striker.

We would like to hear from the fans, who you guys think will make the biggest impact through-out the Carling Cup. It is every players dream to break into the Arsenal starting eleven, and the Carling Cup is usually a starting point.

Players like Fabregas, Song, Denilson and Bendtner all had to make themselves established and the league cup is where they got started.

Just moments ago i read about an Arsenal fan winning £15,000 on Spurs to beat Liverpool last weekend. It’s always constant as a Gooner to see your rivals lose, so why bet on them to win?

Of course it wasn’t an important game if you consider it was only the first game of the season. Read this little report then vote below.

One Arsenal fan found himself cheering on Spurs on Sunday – as he scooped £15,000 on the New Football Pools.

Mr. Anderson, from Leicestershire, needed Spurs to beat Liverpool at White Hart Lane to win a share of the £30,000 jackpot of The New Football Pool’s prediction game.

He predicted the nine other Premiership matches correctly leaving his fate in Spurs’ hands.

Do we sell or keep Eboue at Arsenal. We seem to have off loaded some African players which would have been departed away to the ACN this season which is usually a blow for us considering we had 3-4 players that would leave us.

Could he be the last to go, would it be wise to sell. I would personally keep him as he’s a half decent cover, but i would like to hear your views.
