NICHOLAS BENDTNER

I think the problem with him is although he is still relatively young and we shouldn't expect him to be the finished article yet, he hasn't got anything in his game to suggest he is going to improve with age so it's hard to make allowances for him..
I suppose he's ok as a squad player for us but even with that i would prefer a player capable of making an impact from the bench, someone who is particularly good at something, either very quick very skillful or very good in the air and Bendtner is none of those.
For me he would be more suited playing as second striker for a mid table team the likes of Bolton and if we have any pretensions to being a trophy winning club then i don't see him having much of a future with us, not in the team or on the bench...

Your a woman who tried to seduce Wenger, failed at it and have never got over it? Only such hatred of Wenger and some of his players, can't have anything to do with football. Frustration, annoyance and wanting him out, personal insults and blind ranting? No idea who Pikey is

Probably would do well at lot of clubs. His first touch is better then it was (not saying much I'll admit) but still needs a lot of work I agree and until he does, I can't see him starting for the team bar injuries.

I made valid points, like them or not. I donâ€™t pick out stupid comments you make such as Bendy being a â€œgood squad playerâ€

Firsty, the likes of Bendtner are at the club for one reason, they are relatively cheap. He did not cost the club anything and his salary is low when comparred to other Premiership cenre forwards.

That part of it is not Bendtner's fault.

What is his fault is the shocking lack of effort he puts in and this is displayed in his body language. He looks like a stroppy teenager that cannot be bothered. this is pretty shocking considering he should be scraping day in, day out to cement his place with the likes of Chamakh and Van Persie in front of him.

I simply expect nothing of Bendtner these days as the occasional goal does not mask his usual sub-standard performances. No pace, no touch, no flair and no aggression make a pretty poor centre forward and all those traits apply to Bendtner.

Would anyone have been happy back in the 1 to 11 days if Bendtner wore the number 9 shirt for Arsenal on a regular basis?

Number 52 is pretty apt in my opinion.

Thing is we could probably get Â£10m-Â£15m for him quite easily. And Iâ€™d be surprised if we couldnâ€™t get a better striker for Â£15m. Or we could just give Denilson a new contract & a pay-rise.

its all been said... Bentdner is shit. glad a few others share the same opinion as me

He is ok as a squad player and nothing more. But, if it means that when he comes on as he did against Newcastle and Cesc ends up chipping everything into the box in the hope that we get a Crouchesque flick on then I'm not sure that's a decent Plan B or worth paying top dollar to see.

I honestly thought he did ok towards the end of last season, I think he may be a bit disheartened, knowing that he is once again 3rd choice, and maybe realises his future is elsewhere.
I don't agree that he is shite, there are far worse players at the club than Nic. Although his attitude or at least his body language could be abit more positive if he has any hopes of winning over the fans.
To attach any blame to him for yesterdays defeat, would be harsh, and I would actually preferred him to have been introduced before RVP, simply because he had more match fitness.
