Now Bendtner wants to leave. It´s good they say it because, if it were for Wenger, they´d stay indefinitely, regardless of how much they play. The guy is incapable of telling them they´re not in his plans anymore it seems, which is a dangerous thing. The exodus of players will hopefully force him to dig into the market, at last.
Unless he sees it as a chance for our teenagers to start gaining PL experience.![]()
I'm with you there... Though, I reckon if Denilson was given a good chance to play at LB for a while, then I reckon he would have become as good as Flamini in his last season with us...
I liked Bendter. I thought he was going to be a decent prospect however his big mouth did him no favors nor did being played on the wing. Seriously, what the hell was Wenger smoking when he thought of this?? Only a man in the depths of a peyote induced delusional episode would think that this is a good idea.
Bendtner will go on and do well with another team that is better suited for him. He was too slow and clumsy for our style. Now is the time to bring in a proper striker. Someone with pace and a good finish preferably.
That is exactly what is going to happen. Wenger will spend the whole summer trying to buy a star replacement, but will refuse to spend the money needed to close any deals. Then, AW will promote Afobe,and say he has 4 'good' strikers and doesn't need any new signings.
Wenger needs to go before things will change for the better.
Bendtner will go to AC Milan.
Or Stoke.
Striker? Lets just assume for fun that we are going to get David Villa or may be even Drogba (in his prime) or Anelka (again in his prime) OR may be even TH14 (in his prime). Where are you going to play them if RVP is down the middle? Would the above mentioned players be as effective on the right or left like how Bendy has been used? I dont think so!
Now dont get me wrong. Bendy is miles from being close to those players but I do think this guy is very good. I think when he plays a few games down the middle, he is very effective. If he is played with another striker in a 4-4-2, I think he will be very effective... we can call out for all the greatest strikers in the world but with our style of play, not a whole lot is going to work.*
* I am not counting Messi and Ronaldo as they can be scoring bucket loads of goals even as a GK!!
Id put RVP in the DB10 position. Let whoever Villa, Drogba, Anelka, Benzema play off the left shoulder like TH14. It would work no question. This idea that you need a big battering ram upfront is nonsense in my opinon.

We need someone who can finish. If hes a big battering ram then great cos he wont be bullied out of games but ultimately we need a finisher and other than RVP, we dont have one so when RVP is out next season again for a few months, we are screwed unless Chamakh comes good.
As for good old Bendtner, id say id miss him but id be lying.
