I think were doing RVN a groos dis-service here... its not like he stands on the 6 yard box waiting for the ball to come to him, his movement off the ball to shake off defenders in what many call the best leauge in the world is second to none...
Im not a fan of RVN but neither do i dislike him... but if were honest for a minute he has got shed loads of ability and we would probably all like him in our team, alot of what a great goal scorer does is subtle and unseen without careful scrutiny, this is part of what makes them a great goal scorer and lets face it RVN is just that.

I know loads of Arsénal fans who all seem to call Ruud van Nistelrooy and "goal-hanger"!
And do you know why? Just because he "can't score from long-range, like HENRY!" And, apparently, "he's so, the only goals he scores are goal-line tap-ins!"
Well, it's true that he is always in the right-place, and the right-time - like all good strikers should be...
And the reason he doesn't score from long-range is becuase he's a "STRIKER", and doesn't have the versitallity of a player like Thierry Henry - a player who's used to playing on the wing, and is often running all over Highbury, creating and taking his chancesm, behind the frontman.
Some people are just stupid (and cocky)!

But wouldn't you rather have a player who scores just as much good goals as someone who scores poached ones?
Van Nistelrooy has scored a few more than Henry - but Henry doesn't poach!

I'd rather have a 'goal hanger' that scores 30+ a season for me than a guy that scores 20 a season by dribbling past the entire opposition.
It's still called goal hanging now and all the crap people do it!
Like me!
Whooooo!

Whooooo!
Goal poachers are necessary. There are times when I wish Arsenal scored more 'poached' goals than some of the more beautiful efforts, but having said that, we don't do too badly with the beautiful ones.
The thing that makes me laugh - and this isn't a dig at Jeffers, RVN, or the great Ian Wright - is that, when I was at school and played football, 'poaching' was called 'goal hanging' and was frowned upon!

So you'd rather have a player that only scores the occasional good goal rather than a player that scores loads of poached goals?

Yep it's quite amusing that they only appear in here to gloat when Arsenal are winning and go into hiding when the chips are down..

I thought it was just me and Wookie! :D
Personally, as an Arsenal supporter, I think Jeffers is a diver, but he isn't quite on the same wave length as that square-jawed oaf, v.Nistelrooy.
I think Nistelrooy is overrated. He's scored more goals than Henry in all competitions, but no one goes on about him on TV being one of the best strikers in the world like Henry because he hasn't made much of an impact in the way he scores them, apart from the odd, once-in-a-blue-moon quite good goals. Otherwise, he's a poacher. Poaching doesn't take a tremendous amount of skill. Some of the goals he has scored I could have scored with ease.
