Bendtner: "I want to leave Arsenal"
Nicklas Bendtner has once again reiterated his desire to leave Arsenal as soon as he can – dismissing suggestions that his main priority is money.
The Danish striker was expected to leave the Gunners in September after two failed loan spells with Sunderland and Juventus – but ended up staying at Emirates Stadium due to the Gunners lack of options upfront.
Denmark manager Morten Olsen has already told Bendtner that he should leave Arsenal in January if he wants his career to progress, while the player himself is adamant that money is no longer his main priority.
“I want to leave Arsenal. If its in the winter we’ll have to wait and see. First priority is a new challenge – Money is second”, Bendtner told Ekstra Bladet.
“I’ve been playing football since I was four years and back then it was for the love of the sport.”
Arsenal’s depleted striking options mean that Bendtner is currently the only other available first team striker alongside French international Olivier Giroud.
Bendtner recently expressed his frustration at the treatment he has received from Gunners boss Arsene Wenger in recent years and the club’s insistence on keeping him there this season.
The 25-year-old is on a hefty £52,000-a-week salary at Arsenal and saw several potential summer moves breakdown due to his high wage demands.
let him leave aki..am just bored of him,so slow,so young_like old,so boring….f*****c you man
he can go
Bendtner is a money grabbing git who does not care about our great club,but only cares about himself!The sooner we get shot of him the better for all concerned,because he is doing no good at all,and as Arsene said players like that are just dead wood!
Who cares?? Let me know if you need a ride to the airport.
To hell with him,please Wenger allowe the stupid player to leave us.
Everyone knows he’s good for nothing..complete surplus to the club and always bring anxiety to arsenal fans whenever he plays…terrible, terrible…why everyone on this earth can see that and not the old scumbag Wenger. Whether he’s about money or football, to many of us his is officially out from our thoughts for sure!!! Bendtner, millions of AFC fans is waiting for this to happen, please go.
My uncle Leon was a great bloke, and one of the things I remember about him was the way he made visitors aware it was time leave, when he uttered the words ‘I’m just going to the toilet’, the acquired knowledge meant that on his return we always readied ourselves for a speedy exit. With this in mind, it seems to me, that every time Bendtner comes on at the Emirates sixty thousand people want to take a collective dump.
let him go… we want the best in football
