Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner and goalkeeper Manuel Almunia are in talks with other clubs over moves away from the Emirates.


The pair were omitted from the 23-man squad that will travel to Asia on Sunday for a pre-season tour.


An Arsenal spokesman confirmed this was so the pair could undertake negotiations over potential transfers.


Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is expected to clarify details over the impending moves at a press conference on Monday.

I thought the joyous notion of Dennis Bendtner leaving deserved a new thread.

Better than a new signing tbh.

:dancingman:

Thank fuck these turds are leaving. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

losing them is no big deal but not replacing them is

I could have stood Manu staying if it meant he was 3rd choice but a squad needs 3 first team keepers - could the story of Gordon have some weight after all?

Sounds like Arsene is cleaning up house.

Just don't forget to bring in new furniture after you've off-loaded the deadwood!

Nope, Mannone is 3rd choice.

Bendtner obviously isn't rubbish.

What he needs is regular first team football to develop, which he won't get at Arsenal.

When's Denilson leaving?

Nah he'll be more or less sold or loaned out with a top GK coming in

I don't think a top 'keeper is incoming, and I'm fine with Szczczdzszfzgzhzkzuzny as 1st choice. Fabianski and Mannone are fine as 2nd/3rd choice if they're happy with that.

Dont know how many times youve seen bendtner, but every time I have hes been a pile of turd. He cant dribble, he cant control a pass, he cant hold the ball up, he cant take on his man, hes not a prolific finisher. The only thing he can do is massage his ego.

sure. i'm confident he'll end up playing amateur football then

He's an average premiership striker which means he will fit in somewhere like aston villa or sunderland. Arsenal have always had exceptional strikers down the years. Bendtner is not fit to lace ian wright, dennis bergkamp or thierry henry's shoes.

The thing with Bendtner is, he aint bad. He is an ok stiker that will do well at somewhere like Aston Villa or Everton where he will be the main man. But he is prevented from moving to these Clubs because we have been overpaying him on a massive scale.

Yes!!! :dancingman:

Let's just hope these moves go ahead. :pray:

Vela, Denilson, Rosicky & Squillaci next out the door please? :pray:

agreed, mid table for now.

still quite a large leap from 'rubbish', 'turd' and unable to do anything competently on a football field i'd say.

Szcesny is a good prospect but a club like ours should have a proven GK...

Its difficult to judge bendy given how many times he's played out of position.

Bendtner would score 20+ a season for us if we played him as the CF and had wingers that could cross.

Denilson didn't travel!

He's the new Dennis Bergkamp!

As much as everyone likes to think Wengers completely senile and hasn't a fucking clue what he's doing anymore, I do believe that if Bender had proven himself as having the ability to lead the line, he would have been played there. Every opportunity he had has he has proven the exact opposite. Mans been here for years but is still gash, hasn't developed at all. Time to get rid. Almunia? Don't even get me started. What a cunt
