Nicklas Bendtner had every chance to become an Arsenal striker but his head was not screwed on correctly. Look at Aaron Ramsey and his attitude and the compare it to Bendtner and hey presto there is the difference While the Dane isn't the technically the best
Arsenal shareholders in tonight's Q&A session. In truth I am sure most of us could guess what the content of the evening would have been before he uttered his first word. Much of what he said has already come out to the press only a few days ago. There will be some detailed articles on this evening and tomorrow I am guessing from those who attended this evening. A few of those attendees were kind enough to tweet the goings on via the weird and wonderful world of Twitter. I thought I'd pick out a few of the questions and his answers and then give my view if you don't mind
Even though we have been hugely boosted by new commercial deals, it doesn't really change the fact that in a one off tug of war battle with a financially doped club then we are likely to fail in our attempts to land that player, however it does give us a much stronger chance of keeping current players together and I would argue that doing that was possibly even more important than new signings

It will almost certainly be a case of boy who cried wolf for me because when we do sign someone, I blatantly won't believe it which I guess is better than believing every rumour. The Wayne Rooney to Arsenal rumour keeps coming back and seriously why is this happening? It makes so little sense. Are the tabloids taking the micky here? Firstly, assuming that we are not going to match the wages he gets at Manchester United, why exactly would Rooney leave Manchester United to earn less money, remember Rooney is a footballer. Also, why would Arsene break our transfer record to buy a player who is
