... moved to German club Wolfsburg.
Bendtner has finally left Arsenal to join Wolfsburg, but the Dane's arrival has not exactly caught the imagination of Volkswagen Arena boss Dieter Hecking.
Before the deal went through, Hecking was quoted on Thursday saying: "We dared to touch the top shelf of players. It’s empty now though, so we needed to look a bit further down."
It recalls the welcome Bendtner got when he went on loan to Juventus a couple of seasons ago.
"Clearly he isn't the top player we wanted, but we needed reinforcements," Juventus chief Giuseppe Marotta was quoted as saying at the time.
Yep ... how to fill a player with confidence!
