Arsenal Duo Nicklas Bendtner & Manuel Almunia In Move Talks

[Master Splinter]

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.

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.

[Kano]

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?

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Nope, Mannone is 3rd choice.

good enough? how any games did he play out on loan, where was it Hull?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Nope, Mannone is 3rd choice.

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

When's Denilson leaving?

Im sure once these to duds go he should be next

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.
