Thats half the point, I want a bit more for the money than a runner. He jus doesnt influence the game enough or score goals, cant tackle so i as always wonder what the fuss was about. Got my info off a few lads at the game -- who were also happy with the performance for once!! a swell as the result. Normally come back moaning about this and that blah blah. Well done today tho.
Right on the money there, I thought Henderson was largely ineffective and uninfluential. He's best when his tail is up and he's running at defenders on the right flank - I haven't seen him do that for 2 seasons.
Bundesliga club Hannover are ready to offer Nicklas Bendtner a chance to kick-start his career with a £4million move to Germany this summer. The 24-year-old is *on a season-long loan at *Sunderland, but has *struggled to find his best form for the Black Cats, though he scored his fifth goal for them yesterday. Bendtner’s long-term future is in doubt at the Emirates and it is thought Arsene Wenger has run out of patience with the striker. Wenger is planning *summer moves for *Lukas Podolski and Mario Goetze to beef up his attacking *options, and their arrivals would signal the end of the Denmark international’s Arsenal career.
Martin O'Neill is hoping an injury picked up by Nicklas Bendtner on Saturday is not as serious as first feared, but admits the striker's fitness is a concern. The Denmark international was forced off late on against Liverpool on Saturday. He had earlier netted what proved to be the winning goal in that tie, with his close-range effort early in the second half helping the Black Cats to a 1-0 success. His afternoon was marred after tangling with Martin Skrtel, with an unfortunate knock leading to him being stretchered from the field. O'Neill claims it is too early to speculate on the severity of the injury, with it important for the club's medical staff to take a look at the striker before a timescale can be put on his recovery. Scan He is hoping that Bendtner can shake off the problem in time to face Everton in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup next weekend, but that may be a little optimistic. "It is a knee injury," O'Neill told Sky Sports. "I can't tell you much more at the moment. He's delighted to have scored the goal but he is very sore at the moment. "We will get a scan in a couple of days and hope that he will be fit for next week. "It is a concern."
