Lord Bendtner - free at last, oh and Park as well.

y va marquer

I hate to ruin your weekends but they've been released.

The wasted talent and the complete mystery.
To be fair we won't notice that they're gone.

Thanks for the few goals this season Bendtner and the unintentionally funny moments.

What an absolute waster.

Aneke is also being let go.

He was meant to have big potential, obviously never fulfilled it. Pity.

Aneke? WTF thought I just read rave reviews of him in league 1.

I know its just league 1 but he has always looked good when I saw him. Was also one of those that Wenger described as immense technical ability up and coming player.

By the way, Lampard released, Chamakh released. Same goes for Heitinga, Sidwell, Fryatt (That striker who just played against us in an FA Cup Final), Barry, Lescott, Pantilimon, Riise, Albrighton, Macheda, Ameobi etc are the more familiar names being released.

Sad to see him go. Love myself a proper off the pitch shitehouse.

Wonder who will step up now.

He always looked too slow and cumbersome to me. He's obviously talented though, scored a few goals last season. Might still make it in the Premier League I reckon.

Hilario is free from Chelsea, he'd make a good back up goalie.

Heitinga for 4th choice CB?

Gav Ferdinand?

invisibleman18

Thank heavens for that.

Surprised about Lampard, thought they would have kept him around at least on one year contracts. Could Heitinga or Lescott be decent free signings if Vermaelen leaves?

Edit: The fuck? Djourou is still here?

Jed

Yet another top player leaves. How are we going to cope without the greatest striker in the world in our ranks.

Conor

We could do worse than Lescott for 4th choice CB.

Never got a chance. Typical.

Wonder will City sign him.

kamikaze

bendtner's dad is prob deciding between the offers from united, madrid, barca and psg right now.

we overrate our prospects so much. most of them are nothing special, every team has kids just like them. afobe prob won't make it here, either.

goon

Talking about and assessing youth =/= overrated them. No one has rated Afobe for a long time, not many did in the first place.

We've supposedly knocked £100k a week off of our wage bill by shedding Bendtner + Park.
Add that to our new striker wage fund.

Irishgunner

Bendtner was on massive wages, for a player of his quality, 52k p/w (his shirt number, the wanker).
