Yes we do need a true CF. Some might say I'm a little biased against Theo.....but he does have an inconsistency problem. Wenger said Park "is ready to play in league games." I haven't seen enough of Park but we can assume that he isn't as fast as Theo, in a one-on-one that is where Theo comes in handy. Not sure about Parks dribbling yet. But it is true, in the past the midfield has been kinder to Walcott

Substitue Ryo was then on hand defensively as he made a superb last-ditch intervention to prevent Cahill as the Gunners held on to secure a 2-1 victory.
Stock is going up.

I was reading an article last night, Bergkamp was quoted as saying that Arsenal should switch to a 4-4-1-1 and RvP should take the role in the hole. I think it could work at pretty well for him but who would be a head of him. Certainly no Chamakh, Walcott has said that he wants a center position, he hasn't exactly proven himself worthy of so. The RvP Gervinho combo is really working well so far. And then there is also Park
Robin is a great player but we need a true CF for this club and Robin's abilites to shine. Yes he can score goals with the best of him but for too often do our wingers send crosses into the box and he is nonwhere to be seen because he drops so deep back into midfield. Fans then get on get on our winger, especially Theo, for misplacing crosses but with a true CF there would be someone always there to try and get on the end of them and they would look alot better. For example Valencia from United is pretty limited as a player/winger imo but he works well in United's system as you have players like Chicharito hounding around the box looking to get on the end of crosses at all times. We could do the same thing.
While things seem to be going well right now, so I dont like messing up a good thing, but I wouldnt mimd at some point trying RVP as a second striker behind Theo maybe when we are chasing a game. Robin can pick out a nice pass and Theo is a great finisher imo and with him playing the on the sholder of the last defender RVP can play through balls to him and nobody will catch him. We'd have a dutch wizard playing balls to a pacy #14 striker again.
I'd LOVE to see RVP slotted right behind either Theo or Gervinho in a true striker role.
I also 100% agree with you on Theo. His finishing ability has improved exponentially in the last couple of years to the point where its now being unfairly criticized. His finishing isn't clinical but since the beginning of last season, its been more than good.

I wouldnt mind seeing the front of the formation lined up differently right now. Would be interesting like y'all said. And as a fan of him, it is nice to see Theo continue to get better. The kid's ceiling is high as hell right now

This'll be my first time tracking MLS playoffs.
But first, gotta watch los Blancos sink the yellow submarine into relegation zone.
In team news, Nuri Sahin is finally back training with the first team and should be back on the squad list in two weeks. FINALLY.

Haven't seen much of Park(only highlight clips) but he looks like he would work up front.
If not I would be more than happy to get rid of MC29 and get Bendtner back and he kill in that spot.
We are having a contest soon on UnitedRANT keep an eye out for that.

I cant stand this blank page Yuku #%+@ but I'll paste this here anyways...
Arsenal centre back Thomas Vermaelen is available for selection for Saturday's big London derby at Chelsea.
The defender came off with cramp in his calf towards the end of his comeback in last night's 2-1 Carling Cup victory over Bolton but following a good night's rest he has reported for training today.
Speaking after the game Thomas said: "It was great to be back and to get time on the pitch. I felt fresh, I’m OK and am available for Saturday."

Definitely rooting for Dallas tonight. It would be good for the league if NY made a playoff push but I don't like Hans Backe and after watching them all season they simply dont deserve it.
On the flip side I'm a big Schellas Hyndman fan and like what he's done down there in Texas. Either way this should be one of the most attractive matches of the playoffs.
Demps what's good with Ferraria? Has he been training? I remember hearing he might be back come October.

Would a NY vs. LA final be good for the league?

^Yes from a league office perspective it would be ideal.
edit: as it turns out NY cant meet LA in the final given LA is the #1 seed and NY is the #10
if NY win tonight they'll face LA in the first round of the conference playoffs.
