Nicklas Bendtner having a high opinion of his own abilities is nothing new. An Arsenal sports psychologist once said that Bendtner scored off the scale in 'self-perceived competence'.
On a scale up to 9, Bendtner got 10! We have never seen that before. Pat Rice was sitting next to me and couldn't stop laughing.
When Bendtner misses a chance, he is always genuinely convinced that it wasn't his fault. You might say that's a problem, and to a certain degree it can be. But you can also view it as this guy has a remarkable ability to come back after set-backs.
That all said, the figure which the Dane expects to earn when he leaves Arsenal this summer and joins a team on a free transfer is still astounding.
According to The Mirror, despite a barren dew years in front of goal, the striker is looking for £104,000 a week, double what he currently earns at the Emirates.
Best of luck with that, Nicklas.
