Bendtner to Juve, thoughts on Theo & cup draws Arsenal finally seem to be rid of Niklas Bendtner as his transfer to Italian side Juventus is set to be completed tomorrow, according to Sky Sport Italia. A much-maligned player at the Emirates, Bendtner has been close to leaving for quite a while. However, there are some Gooners who have stated their desire for him to stay at the club, ahead of Chamakh in the pecking order for the centre forward role. I guess these views stem from the decent season he had on loan at Sunderland before scoring two goals at the Euros. I'm not going to sit on the fence on this one; I'm very pleased to see him leave. He had a poor attitude from the start, and although he does have some talent (as his 45 goals and 21 assists in 4 seasons show), he never seemed the right player for an Arsene Wenger side. He doesn't integrate into the team as well as Giroud, or even Chamakh, due to his relatively poor control and innacurate short passing. Juve's director has said the following regarding the proposed transfer: "Bendtner is already in Italy and will undergo a medical tomorrow.Until the final paperwork is concluded, I will not say that the player is ours. That became clear yesterday [after Berbatov's move fell through]." If the rumours are to be believed, he will go on loan for another season, with Juve having an option to buy at the end.
