Bendtner: I have to leave Arsenal
Nicklas Bendtner has confirmed to a Danish website that he has made the decision to leave Arsenal this summer.
The striker found first-team opportunities hard to come by this season with the arrival of Marouane Chamakh and the scoring form of Robin van Persie.
Indeed most of the playing time Bendtner had was out of position on the wing, a role he has found it hard to adapt to.
Bayern Munich are believed to be interested, and the 23-year-old has welcomed a new challenge after seven years at Arsenal.
He said: "I have decided 100% that I must leave Arsenal. I've considered this for a long time and was quite clear when I arrived at my decision.
"It doesn't feel particularly strange to not know what my future holds - I'm quite calm and confident that I'll be fine at a new club.
"I'm fully focused on Saturday's game for now, because it is incredibly important, but after the international is over I may focus more directly on my future [but] I am sure I could easily go on holiday without having to panic about it. I'm looking to relax, mentally, after a season that was not what I hoped for or expected."
Bendtner has been valued at roughly £10million by his father and agent.
I'd sooner spend that again than on the bargain basement crap we get every year.Quote:

Clichy still attracting a number of suitors, as is Bendtner, but arrivals before departures but will be a busy few weeks.
6: toral/bellerin/Jenkinson all done .. Plus loose ends on Ollsen and Chamberlain plus a certain forward. And that's just the start As I said a few weeks back I expected 8-10 signings, for youth, squad, and first team. I stand by it. With similar number out

Yes thanksQuote:
ARSENAL have told Real Madrid the bidding for Cesc Fabregas starts at £54million.
Real director Jose Angel Sanchez contacted the Gunners hours after Arsene Wenger declared this week there had been no inquiries for Fab.
And the Spanish giants are ready to meet Arsenal's demands in their determination to trump Barcelona.
A Real source said: "The president Florentino Perez has identified Fabregas as the one signing above all others to hurt Barcelona.
"He believes signing Fabregas would be a real statement of intent for next season. He will do whatever is needed to put the club back above Barca."
Perez is ready to sanction a £100m spending spree to keep Fabregas - also a Manchester City target - and Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero out of Barcelona's clutches.
Real sources claim that Arsenal have made it clear they will not sell Fabregas to another English Club.
Barcelona-born midfielder Fabregas, 24, has set his heart on a return to the Nou Camp after eight years in England.
But the newly-crowned European Champions are not prepared to increase the £30million bid Arsenal rejected last summer.

It would be brilliant if Real gave us a ridiculous amount for him just to trump Barca.
Couldn't give a shit if that's not his preferred destination. I'll pack his bags for him.
Agreed, but it would be nicer if Real Madrid bought Aguero first, and then did a straight player swap for Fabregas.Quote:

Valbuena's the guy who played wide right (and scored) against England in the friendly last November. Short guy, dark hair.Quote:

Goalkeeper Brad Friedel agrees to Tottenham switch
Page last updated at 09:17 GMT, Friday, 3 June 2011 10:17 UK
United States goalkeeper Brad Friedel has agreed to join Tottenham.
It is understood that the 40-year-old, whose contract with Aston Villa was due to expire at the end of this month, has signed a two-year contract.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp said: "It is good to have three such experienced top goalkeepers at the club in [Heurelho] Gomes, Carlo [Cudicini] and now Brad.
"It means we have competition for places, particularly with the number of games we'll hopefully face next year."
Friedel, who will not cost a fee, has a vast amount of Premier League experience, having moved to Liverpool in December 1997 from American side Columbus Crew.
He made 30 starts for the Reds before switching to Blackburn, where he made 356 appearances in almost eight years.
He then joined Villa in July 2008 and in the following December broke the record for consecutive top-flight appearances when he played in his 167th straight game - a run he had extended to 275 by the end of this season.
Friedel will provide competition for the error-prone Gomes, who fumbled a shot from Cristiano Ronaldo during Spurs' Champions League quarter-final defeat by Real Madrid.
Villa chief executive Paul Faulkner told his club's website: "I would like to thank Brad for the terrific contribution he has made at Aston Villa in his three seasons here."
Friedel played 82 games for the US before retiring from international football in 2005, having represented his country at three World Cups.
Even at 40, still better than Gomes.

Nasri is also linked to United and City for £28m in that Guardian thing, which won't happen. If he leaves, it'll be abroad.
Also, I'd rather Odemwingie as a reserve striker rather than Chamakh, but £4m seems optimistic, his price has probably rocketed after scoring all those goals.
Weird that the Guardian don't consider Jan Vertonghen to be a 'top target', but I guess it's just a list of big names.
LeGrove says that Gervinho has signed for toon. Oh well, thats me done for the summer. I'm such a mug for renewing membership...
Isnt that the one that stated he wanted CL football, he'll never get it up there..Quote:

And Spain superstar Villa said: "I have a soft spot for Cesc. You know what he would give to the team.
"I hope he can come to Barcelona. Not only as a player but as someone who deserves to return."
Arsenal have put a £54m price tag on the midfielder
