Did you know that in 2001 Zlatan Ibrahimovic was within a whisker of signing for Arsenal. The fee was agreed (£3m), the personal terms were also agreed, the squad number was given but the contract was NOT signed, why?
Ibrahimovic and Malmo FF (club at the time) were sure of the deal until Ibrahimovic arrived in London to be told by Arsene Wenger he must play in a trial game first. Ibrahimovic felt disrespected and stormed out of Arsenal without playing and the rest they say is history.
Hmmm, I wonder if this is why Wenger is holding on to Bendtner due to the similarities to Ibrahimovic? Maybe he doesn't want anymore regrets? Before I get flack for comparing these two players I am refering to Ibrahimovic in his early years.
