PROBLEMS ... Arsene Wenger and Nicklas Bendtner
The Danish striker, who has started only two games this season
after injury, said: "If the situation doesn't change and I'm still
on the bench at Arsenal, I'll look for a transfer. That's
obvious.
"I feel I've done everything right in getting back to
fitness. "I feel better than before the injury and at that
point I was in the starting 11 and close to fulfilling my
potential. When I'm 100 per cent fit, I can't accept sitting on the
bench.
"I'm turning 23 soon and it's important to my development and
further career to play regularly.
"I'll just say that I'm 100 per cent good enough for the starting
11 in Arsenal.
"If my manager feels differently that's fair, and he's the one
choosing the team, but then I disagree."
Boss Arsene Wenger has kept faith with Moroccan Marouane Chamakh,
who has scored eight goals.
And the Emirates boss copied Alex Ferguson and Rafa Benitez with
his own Eric Cantona "trawler" moment as he discussed Bendtner and
Manuel Almunia, who is also unhappy at not starting.
While Fergie spoke about cows in fields and Benitez talked of
priests on a mountain of sugar, Wenger went down a different
track.
He said: "You ask me 'we are on a train, who wants to go to the
terminal station and that means nobody moves out when the train is
moving.'"
In other words, nobody is leaving - for the moment.
