Jon Dahl Tomasson

[Anonymous]

Tomasson is a far cry from the player who failed at Newcastle. If you look at what he does for Denmark its clear that he could easily step in as a quality replacement for Bergkamp, with little dropoff.

He scores goals, he links play suberbly in a passing game and he has excellent vision to unlock defenses. Henry would thrive playing with him - and that is key. You must also understand that Bergkamp cannot cheat time forever - and guys who can do what he does are rare.

Tomasson is not a hyped player, but he is well capable of being a star in Arsneal's system. He has not only the skills but also the maturity.

But I'd think that Arsenal needs first amd formeost a one pure number 9, not another withdrawn forward. We already 'withdraw" way to much in the box!

Tomasson is a worthy player IMO, but he is not our primary need.

So does he fit into our team ??
