Now i know its in a different league against so called weaker teams, but who would you prefer as a striker and their styles of play? 1. Bendtner who may seem to be idle and seems like he lacks interest..but then a touch of brillance and wham bam thank you mam..Goal or sets up someone else. Or 2. Heskey who seemed to work hard for the team, runs around and into wide areas etc, but could not hit a barn door and misses many good goal scoring opputunities. For me even if i forget myself and get frustrated at Bendtners contribution (idle) i would rather have him in the team because he does scores goals and thats what we pay him for. Heskey last seasson did not do his job for us even when he had good service and that was to score goals, if he had maybe we would still have been in the prem. But its not a knock at heskey, i thank him for his role in the blues shirt and now hes moved on etc. But who would you prefer in styles of play? |

Different types of player. Still both got the ball hoofed to them, Bentners control better. The real test would be to put them in a better team,and then compare them, or even better get a manager who knows how to play a passing game, and then compare them. |

possibly our biggest waste of money in the Prem, but i'd partly blame Bruce for the tactics employed and lets not forget the amount of strike partners the big man had. |

Why is it when someone starts a genuine post like this, some on this board (ie the anti SB brigade) have to have a pop at SB. Give it a rest. Its gone well past boring now. IMO When Heskey was in his early twenties he was a great player but as time has gone on he has underperfomed...(Even with Wigan). Bentler on the other hand has an enormous amount of natural talent which, if nurchured, will make him a star. Ask the same question in 10 years time I think. |

And let's not also forget that one season he was the fan's and player's player of the season (I think)! |

always liked heskey up till back end of last season when he lost interest he just needed a regular strike partner IMO... owen always rates heskey as 1 of if not the best strike partner he has had ;) as for bentner... he has had a good few months for me, time will tell... his careers is too short at the moment to compare |

Bendtner. Heskey gave up on us halfway through the season last year. I've never believed that he gave us 100% : he spent far too many games on autopilot, going through the motions. I know that Bruce's tactics contributed to that, but we paid heskey's wages & he took us for mugs. |

I would have liked to see them in the same team. i think they would have been good for one another Heskey's ability at holding the ball up, and Bendtners eye for goal, who knows what would have happened. |

As EVERYONE has said they'd have Bendtner. I'm going to play devil's advocat and say Hesser (just for a laugh, like). Hesser is the best striker of his type according to Steevan Bruce, so it must be true. :lager: Heskey in this league, IMO, would be better than Bendnter as he seemed to play at the same % of effort and workrate, consistently. Undoubtedly, without question, Bendtner has more technical ability and flair, but all-round, Heskey has better attitude and is more consistent. But at £6 million, who could've said no to Wigan's offer. Incidentally, my bet with a mate that Heskey won't score 11 or more goals this season in all competitions looks like a safe one won. Though, I'd genuinely like to see him do well again, guessing and England recall is now beyond him. :boohoo: ;) |

:Blues: Heskey was more a nuisance to other players but naff at scoring. Bentner is a lazy sod, but if the ball happens to land at his feet he will quite happily put one in the back of the net> (my thoughts only) |

It may have been just me, but did anyone else notice a difference in his workrate and overall performance after he scored on Tuesday.. |

I think it's an unfair comparison to try and make. two very different players at opposite ends of the career path. :P |

IMO we got more out of Heskey than Wigan have, in fact Brucie was smarter he sold him and got 6 mill for him. Bentner will improve with every game he plays. he's still young and has a lot talent. BTW I hope we get Forsell back for the last 6 games, if he is on the ball we could get 18 points straight off!! |

yeah i would say bendtner but i would compare heskey more to jerome if anyone really. also on the subject of forsell i have a feeling he is going to come back in and get the goals to take us up.!!! |

Yeah it's funny but I get the feeling also that The Forss could have a significant part to play in the run in... Let's hope so anyway. **thumbup |

Heskey was only good playing out on the left!! He did it for Leicester / Liverpool and when England hit Germany for 5! Nice to have a target man but when he is sat on his bottom for most of the match then it not much use!! I would rather have Bendtner any day but IMO up front with Fors when fit **thumbup that partnership has 30-40 goals between them easily KRO feed.back |

1/ o'mozza was unsetteld at being in then out then in then out.... 2/ o'mozza was rubbish....end of with regard to the question in hand, bendtner has more natural goalscoring ability, heskey adds other things to a team that bendtner cannot - but overall i would choose bendtner as goals are what make prizes, you get plenty for a pair in this game brucie... :D |

what a good reply so much better than last weeks !! heskey IMO took a lot of unfair critisism last year - he always played even when he had knocks - constantly recieved balls around his throat - had that many strike partners it was untrue (none of them really worked well with him ) lets be honest playing upfront for us for the last season and a half in the prem up front was not the easiet of tasks - and for me he never ducked it it amazes me that he still gets abuse ,and other players from last seasons debacle are lauded as greats - when for me they were far more at fault than the big man |
