My dad thinks since Henry left and gone to Barcelona and is having a bad game tonight, that Adebayor brings so much Attacking quality to the Arsenal frontline. Especially with his height and how much of his goals with his power in the air.

Discuss.

Correct, although a on form Henry up top with Adebayor would be quality

Adebayor is on form at the moment, but hasnt proved/disproved that its a fluke.

Carry on this form for another year then we'll make the comparison with Thierry Henry.

i agree DV but i think think scot was more about the type of player they are, ie Adebayor big strong good in the air and hold it up rather than Henrys all out pace

he is a fine player,one of the finest forwards in the prem for sure.pace, power and touch.
i dont think he is quite up there with henry myself.
but 2 things he has over henry are physical presence and the abilty to head the ball.arsenal score from crosses now which they rarely did when henry was there.
written off by most, arsenal could win the league this season?
despite henry being the better player, arsenal are aguablly a better side without him.

he's undoubtedly on form at the moment but i still recon he lacks class, you see him with the ball and he's nowhere near henry in terms of ability.
Even the comparisons with kanu are nigh on ridiculous, he's a big centre forward, something arsenal have been missing for over a decade, but world class he aint.

he's better than kanu.

All I care about is that he was caprain of my fantasy team this week and got me 30-odd points  8)

he's completely different, he's direct and scores goals, i would say kanu is/was more technically able than adebayor... but i guess its goals that matter.

just because he's skinny and black with a boxhead people compare them.

Adebayor is immense. A different class to any other player i that league, makes Rooney look like Blair Sturrock on his day. Note his consistency, to call it a fluke would be outrageous.

umm what consistency?

he hasnt even played a full premiership season yet!

Playing in a team that creates chances helps.

One player that has surprised me is Rogue Santa Cruz. Always touted as having the ability but never really been that great. He's been good this year.

Got to agree he's been unlucky with injuries but I didn't expect him to adapt quite so well as he has done.  Absolute bargain to boot.

Adebayor just lacks something, he looks awkward from time to time.  I think players will begin to work him out and that's when we'll see his real quality.  Eduardo looks like he could be agood player for them.

What Adebayor does bring is a need to play differently for the whole team, they can no longer rely on Henry and have to play to his strengths, they look a much better "team" this season.  Henry probably ended up being too good, if that is possible, and the team gradually grew to accept him as the fulcrom.  A bit like how Asprilla's signing seem to make Newcastle less effective despite playing outstandingly at times for them.
