A chance? That jackass has been here for years and hasn't shown himself to be all that special. We've been trying to offload him for 2 years now. He couldn't even impress at other clubs when we loaned him out. Juventus couldn't ship his ass back to us fast enough. I talked to an old-timer that is a monster Juve fan. This guy spit on the ground when I said his name and asked his opinion of Pink Boots. LOL
it still amazes me how some people think this guy deserves a chance. How many YEARS does he need to prove himself? 10? FFS even sunderland weren't even impressed with him.
Did I just read that we signed Pink Boots in the summer of 2004? He's been on the books for almost 10 years? He was almost in the Invincibles squad! I'm stunned by that. Makes me hate him more for some reason knowing that he's been with the club that long.
You are a year out. In fact Bendtner made his first appearance for Arsenal in October 2005 which is 8 years and 8 months ago.
I did see when he made his first appearance. I was strictly talking about how long he's been on our books for which is 2004. He signed his first professional contract with us in August 2005. You seriously want to count the time before that when he was a youth? Hardly relevant to your rant, but have it anyway.

Nothing like the pettiness of someone who, wants to scream "decade" but comes up short. When Pink Boots was came into our youth system in the summer of 2004 when he was 16, he was basically in the same boat as Zelalem now. When he signed his first pro contract is irrelevant. The club was giving him something before that just like they're doing with Zelalem now. Whether it was was 50 pounds a week, 100 pounds a week, room and board, the club was giving his something back then. He wasn't living on the street during that period when he first came here was he? So obviously he was on our books for some amount of money. So now we're at almost 10 years. Now anymore nitpicking on this one?

When a player is yet to sign his first professional contract he's in the youth system. There's a different first team, a different manager and different colleagues. That's why they call it a youth system. If you are going to hold Bendtner accountable for as you said not knowing our system by now start in August 2005 when he is elevated into our system. If you were a balanced person you might also deduct three season long loans.
Now, as I said I'm no fan of Bendtner. His views of his own prowess remind me of someone... Let's leave that aside. I am a fan of precision. I'm not preventing you ranting, I'm just playing my part in the conversation about how long he's been here. Until I joined its interesting that nobody was accused of nit-picking.

Just admit that Arsenal Football Club was paying him something in 2004 before he signed his first pro contract and move on with it. I do wish they weren't giving him anything and there were some pics of him back then begging for change on the streets outside the stadium. Maybe holding a sign that reads: "WILL MISS OPEN NETS AND BE A DOUCHEBAG FOR FOOD".
I did forget about those loan deals though so in the end we haven't been paying him that long. Good on us for letting some other teams pay this fool. <----- You see those two sentences Santry, that's saying "oops my bad, I was wrong about something," clearly a thing that you can't bring yourself to do.

Even when he was loaned didn't we pay part of his salary?, I don't know why you even bother with santry, Bendtner has been in the Arsenal set up since 2004, when he signed a 'professional contract' is irrelevant to say the least.

I really don't even care all that much about it dream. If we've been paying him 6 years, 7 years, or 10 years, he has had enough time at Arsenal to prove himself. I just don't expect a player to be anything more than what he's shown over that period of time. At some point, you've seen all that a guy can be and I think we've gotten to that point with Pink Boots awhile ago.

I fully agree 6 years or 10 years, doesn't really make much difference, we've seen ENOUGH of bendtner to know that he's not good enough to play for us. Hopefully the likes of west ham,Sunderland(were they not impressed with him?) or crystal palace can make a bid for him in the summer.

While I think it would be fair to say I'm a critic of Bendtner I think you have gone well beyond the stage to where you have a neurotic dislike about him. That's fine, lots of posters here have neurotic dislikes to the point where they aren't expected to participate in discussion: and it's even amusing. As some of those people have social skills they can even be self deprecating. Somehow this is no limit to you allowing your mouth wander.
The fact is he wasn't part of our first team means that he wasn't in the structure he is expected to know well for the period of time you were shouting. I'd agree with the overall point that Bendtner was here long enough to be expected to do better. I would also deduct the years out on loan. Throughout the time Bendtner's attitude was deficient which prevented him showing his true talent. I hear people saying the attitude has changed, and I'm not sure. However, the last few years can only have been humbling for him. A big turning point was when RVP went on a four month injury stint and Bendtner got injured one game into his window of opportunity, and was playing well.
What's the point? There's things falling for and against Bendtner. He's been unlucky, but he's also not helped himself. No doubt a person with lurid interests like girls shitting all over one another can't think straight enough to make a contribution to understanding the player.
