Bendtner Hints At Summer Exit (and why footballers are worth it!)
Arsenal forward Nicklas Bendtner hinted at leaving Arsenal this summer if he does not get more games.
The Danish striker who will be sure to face England in the international friendly on Wednesday was giving an interview about whether players such as him were worth their wages when he made the remark.
Bendtner believes that players earn their money because they have to make so many personal sacrifices when becoming a professional footballer. He said: “There is a price to pay as well for us players. Personally, I think I pay a big price with my body, my time and with never being able to have privacy when I am out and around other people”.
He continued: “I am not complaining. It’s a natural part of being a professional footballer but it is definitely a price to pay when, for example, you can’t go out to eat in a restaurant with your girlfriend without photographers chasing you”.
About his season at Arsenal so far he said: “I am happy to be an Arsenal player but, of course, I must play more. I mean that I’m good enough to be in the line-up. I will play this season to the end as an Arsenal player and then make a decision on my status in the summer. If I’m still happy then I will stay. Otherwise, we must see what will happen”.
This is the second time that Bendtner has basically told Wenger that he will leave the Emirates if he doesn’t get into the Arsenal first team. Last time he did it he was left out of the side completely for a month. How will Wenger react this time?

Bendtner is classed as 1 of our ‘home gown’ for the 25 man squad. Gibbs, Walcott will both move into the name 25 squad as now over 21.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. He’s a lazy steak of p!ss. 90% of the time he never works for any goals he might score. His head is in the clouds, he thinks way too highly of himself. Wenger has had far too much faith in this loser. It’s time he left to go and warm the bench at some other club. Arry, he’s yours if you want him, you seem to like Arsenal cast offs.

For me Bendetner or Bender can go. Arsenal need to let the following go.
1. Bendetner.
2. Risizky
3. Ebuye,
4. Diaby,
5. Scilaci
6. Landsbury

Reasons the Navas transfer is unlikely :
a) The buyout clause is 35 MILLION!
b) The guy REALLY doesn’t want to leave Spain, Sevilla once accepted a bid but Navas didn’t want to go cause he’s chronically homesick.

Navas will not come at all.
1) Sevilla will not let him leave for anything, the fans the team, club everyone loves him to death.
2) He doesn’t travel out of Europe as he has flight problems and It’s true Barca and Real Madrid both wanted him but he wanted to stay.
His one of the last players around who truly is in love with his club, a player full of loyalty, quality and class. An example for the world!

bendtner would’t be missed, can he take arshavin with him too please, and to all saying buy navas wenger won’t buy him we got jet as his replacement.
i just don’t think you lot understand, how things work at arsenal.
a player leaves fine, we got one coming through the reserves,as ready replacement, eg fabrigas goes ramsey comes in, rocisky goes,in comes eastman ,denilson goes in comes frimpong. thats the theory, if it works is another matter though granted.

@Messi i think you find every player and club have thier price, navas is human and will go when (i would think)his contract ends then lets see how loyal he be.
plus if he got flight problems why would we want him after bergkemp.

He really needs to train track and field effortly, and when he gain some pace he might be able to be on the first XI. Then with hazard coming, there is no chance. Van persie is doing great with his head, so bendtner has lost his advantage.
