    He got 2 more goals than Vermaelen

    If Hernandez, Welbeck, Sturridge, Dzeko, Berbatov went on the market tomorrow Real / Barca wouldn't bat an eyelid, that's irrelevant to the fact that they can / are decent squad players to have. Unfortunately Bendtner doesn't have a good relationship with the club (partly brought about himself by his arrogance) but I'd much rather see him in an Arsenal shirt than dogshite like Park and/or Chamakh.

    He will be missed


    Bendy is a good player and if played in position at an attacking team like Arsenal will bag 20+ goals every season, easy. Playing him on the wings is of no use, just like playing Eduardo on the wings.

    I wouldnt criticize Park or Chamakh a lot either. Park looked lively in the couple of games he played but was never given a run in the team even when Gervinho and Theo did nothing of note! Chamakh IMO is still a decent striker when played with another striker but he is clearly not Arsenal level.

    Sessegnon is an attacking midfield player and not a striker. He has the ability to dribble and pass and I think he's better than Gervinho. We should have signed him ages ago when he was at PSG.

    Bendy is a great back up striker. 10+ goals a season is always guaranteed with him. But he wants first team football and we can't provide that. He's inconsistent with his touches and finishing sometimes but I'd have him in the squad over Chamakh. Can't really speak about Park because he never had a chance.

    The reason Arsene Wenger didn't bid against Liverpool for the signature of Fernando Torres back in 2007/8 or so was because we had 'Bendtner' coming through and he wanted to give him his chance - hmmm look how that turned out...had we signed Torres (with Van Persie out injured all the time) , I'm pretty sure we would have won something since 2005. Not that I blame only Bendtner for that...but he is one of the laziest players I've ever seen. He has no work ethic yet...maybe it will come under another manager...but I doubt it. I am hoping for a big transfer fee for him - so that he at least repays some of the investment we've wasted with training him.

    He's said he'll never play for us again and frankly I never want to see him an Arsenal shirt again after that comment.

    Eh?

    Do you honestly believe we'd have even tried to outbid Liverpool?

    What was it, £20m?
