Former Manchester United defender John O’Shea and Arsenal forward http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nicklas-Bendtner-c27726 happy to be at Sunderland
John O’Shea, the 30-year-old former Manchester United defender, revealed he felt it had been the right time for him to leave the English Premier League champions. O’Shea joined Sunderland in the summer transfer window on a long-term four year deal and insisted
he had no regrets parting ways with the Red Devils.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Antwerp in 2000 and 2001 respectively.
After 13 years at the club, with 392 appearances in all competitions and 15 goals, O’Shea felt it was time to move on. The Irish defender agreed on a move to Sunderland away after Manchester United manager Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson made it clear he did not want
O’Shea at the club in the new season.
O’Shea said while speaking to reporters:
“In a footballer's career, you have to move on at some point. It was definitely a change because I had been at United for so long. Since I was 17, I was there.
But it was 13 years and it was time for a change.”
Like John O’Shea, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 striker Nicklas Bendtner also claimed to be glad at having left the Gunners and insisted he would not be returning to the Emirates Stadium. The 23-year-old Danish forward has made a season long loan move to the Stadium of Light
and has no desire to return to Arsenal at the end of the season.
Bendtner fell out of favour with the London club and was unable to re-establish himself in the first team. According to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884 international the Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, had not given him a chance after the player had been involved in a car accident.
Bendtner said:
“I will never go back to Arsenal. If I can have it my way, I will never play for them again.”
He continued:
“I am really looking forward to playing for Sunderland and then we will see next summer.
I will find a new club - but I will not go back to Arsenal, that's for sure.”
