The Sunderland striker Nicklas Bendtner is still an Arsenal player despite vowing that he would never play for the Gunners again, and Arsene Wenger will be hoping that the Danish international has a good season with the Black Cats so he could be sold for a good price next summer. But Wenger will not be [.

It was not too long ago, in the 2007/2008 where Nicklas Bendtner netted his first goal for Arsenal in a 7-0 rout of Slavia Prague in the Champions league, then he had a loan spell at Birmingham before officially being part of Arsenal's first team. Since Bendtner was in the first team, he has had [...

The Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner, currently on loan at Sunderland, believes that he is good enough to only play for one of the top teams in Europe, and unless Steve Bruce can do the impossible and drag the Black Cats into the Top Four this season, he will be off next summer. Obviously he already [.

Jack Wilshere's successful loan spell at Bolton proved the final piece of his development. More please...

Even before the quarterfinal draw for the Carling Cup paired Arsenal with Manchester City (a.k.a., the Death Squad), many speculated that the reserve teamers logging time on the big stage would soon cede their places to first team players in a push for the silverware.

With Robin Van Persie showing near-perfect form this year, his fellow Arsenal strikers certainly have a huge task to challenge for a place. Of course, even if he wasn't scoring quite as much, Van Persie would still be first choice but the fringe players have a battle of their own to take part in. Whilst [.

The Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner left the Emirates on loan this summer in search of first-team football, and now at Sunderland, he has started to put a bit of form together under Steve Bruce. But Bendtner was in for a shock when he started turning up at the Sunderland training ground with posh shirts and [.

Nicklas Bendtner always talked a good game but never quite managed to convince Arsene Wenger or the Arsenal fans of his ability, but now that he has finally made his debut for Sunderland he seems to have regained his old confidence and is aiming to be the top scorer in the Premier League. The Black [.

Nicklas Bendtner has stated in no uncertain terms that he will never play for Arsenal again if it's up to him. The Danish striker is on loan with Sunderland for the season after failing to make an impact last season for the Gunners. The 23-year-old only started 14 games for Arsenal last season and Bendtner [.

Nicklas Bendtner has vowed never to return to Arsenal after sealing his loan switch to Sunderland.

The Danish international secured a season-long loan move to Sunderland on transfer deadline day after finding himself out-of-favour at the Emirates.

The 23-year-old believes he has not been given a fair chance in Arsene Wenger's side ever since he had a car crash two years ago.

Transfer deadline day looms and Arsenal are still in the market for midfielders, this is not idle blog gossip but Arsene Wenger stated we are short of players in this area. This became self-evident in recent games were the creativity has been left to Rosicky and his best days are behind him.

Today is a day we will all go mad in following rumours and tweets.

Nicklas Bendtner was confident that he would find a new club at the end of last season, and he has been variously linked with Stoke, Sunderland, Newcastle and a few German clubs but without seeming to be close to actually signing for anyone. But his father (and agent) said today that he was happy that [.

After yesterday's debacle, it is time to take a step back and see where we are, how did we get he and what the future holds. There is no point in analysing yesterday's match, it is certified XXX in the minds of all Arsenal fans.

We all knew it was not going to be an easy match but the roots of the result go back, probably two or three seasons ago.

Arsene Wenger announced the other day that Nicklas Bendtner is set to leave Arsenal in the next few days, and all reports have indicated that he has been in talks with both Stoke City and Newcastle United. But this morning it has been reported that Stoke are close to signing the Tottenham striker Peter Crouch [.

Arsene Wenger has been speaking out about the transfer window again and has admitted he is looking for someone in a striking position, just hours after it was confirmed that he had put a bid in for a defender! He promised the Arsenal fans that he would be bringing in a big experienced defender at [..

It's now or never for Wenger. The squad is the weakest since Arsene's reign started that there is no doubt. Suspensions and injuries are mounting and we have only played three games. Our squad for today included two players who are outward bound and contained 8 youngsters.

Whilst we could see the potential in both Frimpong and Miguel today, trophies are not won with potential, but as Wenger told us in May with experience.

After a disappointing end to last season, numerous Arsenal fans were calling for several players to be booted out of the club. I remember logging onto Twitter one day and seeing a great number of Arsenal fans I follow, tweeting the five players they wanted Wenger to sell this summer.

Whilst this may have been a bit of a rash reaction to a poor end to the season, it was understandable, emotions were running high, and many fans were finding it difficult to come to terms that Arsenal had ended their sixth consecutive season without a trophy.

There are a few interesting Arsenal transfer rumours about this morning, and these two regarding Nicklas Bendtner and Eden Hazard would be most welcome to Arsenal fans if they are true. Firs of all the Mail reports that the newly-rich Paris St. Germain have decided to make a move for Bendtner and are actually willing [.

Although Nicklas Bendtner was insistent that he would be leaving Arsenal this summer, it seems that he hasn't found the right club willing to pay Arsenal's asking price, and he may have to stay at the Emirates for another season at least. Wenger has admitted a few times that Bendtner has been in talks with [.

Nicklas Bendtner has confirmed that he will leave Arsenal before the transfer window closes.

The 23-year-old has been linked with an exit from the Emirates throughout the summer and it now seems a move will materialise in the coming weeks.

Bendtner missed the majority of the campaign through injury last year and now appears ready for a fresh challenge after falling out of manager Arsene Wenger's favour.

As the Premier League opening games draw nearer there certainly seems to be some movement in the Arsenal transfer market. The arrival of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain surprised nobody but it seems that Arsene Wenger will quickly recoup his expenditure when Samir Nasri joins Manchester City. For a manager that hates paying over the odds for great [.

There is very little actual Arsenal transfer news about today, but there are lots of rumours! The main story seems to be the appearance of Cesc Fabregas at the Members Day at the Emirates. Although he was applauded by the crowd, most papers have got pictures of him looking decidedly glum and sulky at in [.

The usual talk of Arsenal's youngster's coping with a "rainy Tuesday night in Stoke" could take on a new dimension this coming season as it has been revealed this morning that Nicklas Bendtner's agents have been talking to Tony Pulis abut a move to the Britannia stadium. The Mirror reckons that Stoke are willing to [.

Another day of excitement for Arsenal in the transfer market without anything actually happening!

Mata has been reported to have tied his colours to the Arsenal mast and rejected Harry Redknapp's overtures, and nobody actually blames him. Spurs have had their one season In the Champions League, the DVD Box Set has been produced to keep the fans sweet, whilst Arsenal with the acquisition of players like Mata and keeping van Persie fit will challenge for the title next season.

When the season came to a close, Arsene stated that we needed a bit more strength and experience in the squad, in particular in defence. The old sage has since enlightened us with the fact that he will be busy this summer, this was then refined that most business will be done at the end of July .

Sometimes you just see an Arsenal transfer rumour that is just so unbelievable it makes you wonder if the people who write in the papers actually bother to read their previous reports or whether they think the readers have VERY short memories! Todays Mirror tells this story: Arsenal are set to hijack Chelsea's move for [.

It is being reported this morning that both Nicklas Bendtner and Cesc Fabregas are to be left behind while the Arsenal squad go to Germany for the second leg of their pre-season training schedule. After Pep Guardiola's statement to the press about Fabregas it seems that Barcelona officials are on their way to London with [.

Arsene Wenger's latest signing Gervinho is well aware that both Denilson and Nicklas Bendtner have made it clear that they won't be playing for rsenal next season, and the Brazilian Denilson has already secured a years loan deal with his old club Sao Paolo in Brazil. Nicklas Bendtner is still looking for a new club, [.

Adeus Denilson. Ta-da for now (though I am prepared to wager that the ‘for now' part will become ‘for good').

Denilson's departure reminded me that this summer was as much about clearing out some deadwood as it was about bringing in some alivewood [find a new word - Ed]. He's the first of the exclusive gang to go though who is in that gang is subjective and ebbs and flows accordingly.

The Great Dane (well he thinks so!) Nicklas Bendtner is certain to leave Arsenal this summer, whether it is a loan deal or a straight sale. As back-up to Robin Van Persie and Marouane Chamakh last season, Bendtner got very few chances to play in his favoured central striker role and was usually used as [.

The father of Nicklas Bendtner is either very determined that his son will end up playing for Borussia Dortmund or he is playing a serious game of cat-and-mouse with the press. A month ago he told reporters that both Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon had both put in offers for his son, and both teams moved [.

Arsene Wenger promised Arsenal fans a "busy summer", but as the squad flies of for their pre-season tour there has just been one in (Carl Jenkinson) and one out (Gael Clichy) while Wenger talks of "playing cards close to his chest." But that hasn't stopped the papers being full of Arsenal transfer news, and the [.

There is a very interesting report today saying that Arsenal are very close to signing the Bolton defender Gary Cahill, and it is being said in Bolton that the deal will include the Spanish youngster Ignasi Miquel going the other way, and possibly Nicklas Bendtner as well! If true it is great news for Miquel, [.

Nicklas Bendtner is desperately looking for a new club to give him first team football next season, but it is looking like the Greatest Striker IIn The World may still be sitting on the Arsenal bench next season. The Danish international's father, Thomas, said last week that there had been a firm offer to Arsenal [.

Arsenal's firesale is not going well so far by Peter Rooke There are three (supposedly) definite departures from the Emirates this summer. Both Nicklas Bendtner and Denilson have declared their intention to find new clubs, while Gael Clichy is refusing to sign a contract extension, but the "offers" are not exactly pouring in for Wenger's [.

Arsenal fans are gearing themselves for an influx of players, we are waiting with baited breath. We are also aware that the exodus from the Emirates will be a big one this summer. Players who have not made the grade, others who have not had the opportunity and some who think the grass is greener on the other side of the tracks.

I have been looking around the wonderful world of football betting and I told you all that Arsenal were the 1/10 favourites to sign Christopher Samba yesterday, but there are some more interesting bets out there on the web. I didn't even know there was a possibility that Abou Diaby could be leaving Arsenal, but [.

2011 Summer Preview: Barnet transfer for Rooney, Tottenham's new sponsors, Chelsea's unsackable manager and more - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

Thanks to Twitter,the green light for the "Silly Season" to start has been well and truly lit. As we head for the sun, tabloids and social media sites are preparing to fill inches with nonsense, here are a few of the stories which will have us pulling our hair out.
