It's daft to slate Bendtner while at the same time hyping up Diouf. They are both young strikers who will get better. He's an arrogant git, but then again that's not uncommon to young footballers either.
Nicklas Bendtner
- Thread starter Epic
- Start date
So just because he may turn out to become a very good player we can't make fun nor criticize him now ?
Far from it.
Who the hell is hyping Diouf up?
This whole "the one" crap is all a daft (and not very funny) in-joke, right?
Bendtner has already had an extremely succesful loan spell in the Championship with Brum and has scored his fair share of goal in the Premier League.
Bendtner is an arrogant tit who I would still have major doubts about his ability to forge a career at the very highest level but he's in a differerent league to Diouf; who is basically just a punt we took on a cheap player who has only ever played in a really weak league and in whom we should have no major expectations of success.
He is a such a knob.
probably because they are similar looking? just a guess?Why does he look like Diego Capel in this picture?
Bit of Forlan at United about him. Definite talent but struggles to put it together and infuriates and frustrates fans with impotent displays.
You could see Bendtner going to another league and scoring for fun. I think Arsenal will hold onto him though, and he'll become a very decent striker for them.

Agreed. I think he has the potential to be even better than 'good'. Young and learning, at the age of 22 he already contributes 10-15 goals a season which isn't too bad really.
One of the things that Arsenal did with Adebayor was beef him up by about 24lb. Bendtner has still got quite a spare frame, he'll be a much different physical proposition in a couple of years when he fills out.
Shouldn't take couple of years if you train. Especially if you have professional help. Just look at Rafael.
Capel is just a poor man's version of Bendtner.
I think he's already had a smashing development. I didn't see the point to him a few years ago, but now I do think he could become one of the better strikers in the Premiership.
Very far from it.
Wears shoulder pads... apparently
He's going to be quite a lot to handle once he's totally filled out.
Correct.
Might not want to overdo it and wait until they start to mature, Fletcher took his time to bulk up.
Too much muscle work at a young age = lots of muscular injuries.
Bendtner is already a physical monster, but hes a pretty average footballer.
He ll never be a world class player.
A fair bit of Rafael's 'bulking up' (not all of it though) is actually a pad or vest to protect his shoulder/s.
As for Bendtner, I've been saying for over 12 months that I see a big future for him. But he'll probably be about 26 before reaching that level, and until then he'll continue being a somewhat frustrating figure. But he should still be Arsenal's #1 striker until RvP returns, as he gives them that different option that nobody else has.
Ask the Brazilian Ronaldo. He bulked up at PSV, apparently due to steroids, and his bone structure couldn't handle it.
The type of stuff people thought about Drogba before his Marseille days.
Do you have the lottery numbers too?
Bendtner "interviewed" Agger who won best Danish player of the year tonight. His last question: "How's it going for Liverpool?".
I like Bendtner a bit more now!

It's about time Bendtner filled out and became the monster he ought to be.
The only thing 'monster' about Bendtner is his ego.
I like Bendtner. Still think he could turn out alright if he gets away from Arsenal for good and to a place where he can play all the time without the worries of only being a loan deal etc.
He clearly has potential (as shown by some of his goals and play for the Danish NT). He has been misused and somewhat ruined out wide like Macheda at us, not comparing the players mind.

I reckon he could do a job at Poo.
i thought he had left arsenal in the summer hence we havent heard word about him.
Bump
Signed for Rosenborg in Norway.

What is Rosenborg's striker situation like? Is he likely to get any playing time?
He'll be their star player.
Half a season at Nottingham F and they pass him on.
Probably as @SirAF said but it's bound to go sour rather quickly I guess.
Wouldn't be happy if RBK was my team.
Oh, it's bound to end in tears!
My missus' mum is Danish and apparently years back Bendtner used to go out with a girl from the small island she's from. He used to visit his girlfriend and would drive around really fast in his sportscar, which everyone hated. But because it was such a small island he'd get across it in a few minutes, so he would just spend hours speeding back and forth across the same few miles of island and revving at traffic lights. The bloke, quite obviously, is a fecking idiot.
This..
Shit how the mighty have fallen.
Pretty much how every dane imagines him being also.
His ego is bigger than his skills.
2 games and 2 goals for Rosenborg. He will definitely implode eventually.
