‘I Will Leave Arsenal Unless I Start More Often’ – Nicklas Bendtner Moans Again
By Ollie Irish
In an interview with Danish newspaper BT, Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner threatened to put in a transfer request if he continues to warm the bench:
“I’m extremely disappointed with the lack of minutes on the field. I feel I’ve done everything right in getting back to fitness and I’m in the best shape of my life.
“I feel better than before the injury and at that point I was in the starting XI and close to fulfilling my potential.
“When I’m 100 per cent fit, I can’t accept sitting on the bench. I’m 100 per cent good enough for the starting XI in Arsenal. I have the qualities and I’ve been sitting enough on the bench in my career.
“If my manager feels differently that’s fair, and he’s the one choosing the team, but then I disagree.”
Bendy then warned he would be leave the Gunners if he fails to nail down a regular first-team place. The mardy Dane concluded:
“I simply have to get to the next stage in my career and that’s the reason why I’m saying these things right now.
“If the situation doesn’t change and I’m still on the bench at Arsenal, I’ll look for a transfer. That’s obvious.
“But my first priority is definitely – as it has always been – to play for Arsenal.
“I’ve had a lot of patience and I won’t sit on the bench any more.”
…
Grow the f**k up, Nicklas.

Perfectly put, Sir; as Inno implies, “promises, promises …”
Scintillating draw just now by Manure, very entertaining!
Honestly, I don’t care much for Bendtner anymore….he’s more trouble than he’s worth.
I say let him leave.
but let’s be honest if he didn’t complain by the end of the year you’d consign him to the “just happy to sit on the bench and pick up a wage” pile
will anyone miss barndoor ( pun intended )
It is not my style to comment on players’ opinion on playing time given to them .It hurts if Bendtner actualy made that comment. He has been in the treatment room for most times and not really a gem of a player. The gentleman can please himself. He is overating himself NOW and this is not good for team bonding.Ron
Yes, leave.
We don’t want players with ambition and self-confidence at Arsenal. We’d prefer to miss out on his best years.
Read http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/bendtner-we-want-competition-for-places and then decide.
Finally. Now we can get torres without worryin bout disrupting the devolpment of bendtner.
Bendtner……… I think you will find that we don’t care…. You are not that good to threaten Arsene and like all the others that left for “greener pastures” you will quickly find that the “grass is not always greener on the otherside”..

OK
Let him leave. I’d say it’s fairly unlikely that we’re going to win the league this season and probably wont win it with some of the average players we carry. Lets finally have a clear out this summer and get rid of the average dross which includes mr bendtner.
Goodbye Bento hopefully someone would stump up a good price for him would love to see us get Carroll away from the Geordies although the prof probably thinks he’s a very naughty boy!
flamini left – hardly got started for ac

Simply Put, Wenger isn’t an Idiot. If Bendtner was good enough – He would start. He is a good squad player – thats it.
Wenger should leave – not Bendtner.
“In Arsene we rust.”
think of what bendtner did for us last season, he was great and he is a great player, he holds the ball up well and is great in the air, he has (already this year) showed his potential if you look at the two great goals he has scrored from the top left side of the box….. he mustnt leave, wenger should rotate squads
the problem with him that he genuinely believes he’s awesome..
Has he accomplished anything in the past? no..
Is he going to accomplish anything in the future? of course not..
Just like Diaby, Denilson, Fabianski, Almunia.. These guys will never make top players.. And the only thing keeps them at Arsenal is Wenger’s stubbornness.. Once out of Arsenal door, they will realize that they’re sh*t..

[...] can’t help but feel that Niklas Bendtner should take note. [...]
Don’t let the door hit you in the rear on the way out, Nik…..
