I will not return to Arsenal after Sunderland loan

"As I have said before, I will not return to Arsenal," Bendtner told SkySports.

"I never really got the chance and then I was unfortunate with injuries. But now I will hopefully have a good season at Sunderland and with a fantastic European Championship ahead, it looks positive.

"I want to play in the Champions League."

Hopefully we can get close to £10mil for him.

Not good enough!

Bendtner is better than both of them.

Bendtner is better than Park and definitely better than Charmakh. I just dont understand why Wenger keeps subbing him on the wing. Wouldn;t it make sense to switch to a 4-4-2, player Bendtner up front and VP just off him when we need goals?

I'm talking about this year's 2nd leg against Barcelona where Bendtner had a brilliant opportunity to put us through. It was the only clear cut chance we had all game, and he f*cked it up epically.

And I don't agree that Bendtner is better than Park. Park simply hasn't been given enough chances against top opposition, and once he does then we can compare them. Internationally, its no contest atm, Park is on blistering form for SK.

The lateness of the transfer suggests he wasn't a priority and the intention behind the signing was clearly to add depth to the squad since we only had two strikers at the club at the time.

Nobody signs players just to appeal to a market. If that was the case, then every decent team in the world would have a Japanese or South Korean in their squad, which clearly isn't the case. The marketing side is merely a perk, not a defining factor.

I find it pretty remarkable that people are saying Park isn't good enough for Arsenal when he's played a grand total of two games for us so far. Yeah, that's a good sample size to judge a player's quality on.

People are only doing it because we could have got someone better...it's not like park was Wenger's first choice
