Heard the same. He was off his box telling all and sundry he doesn't like Sunderland and wanted to sign for Newcastle but we didn't bid for him
Think about this logically:
Is a Sunderland player three sheets to the wind in a Newcastle bar going to tell a local what they want to hear or that they love playing for Sunderland, hate NUFC and have just come to the bar en route from taking a p*ss against Jackie Milburn's statue?
Well, you know what they say, you show your true colours when you're drunk
Given Nicklas Bendtner genuinely believes he is the best striker in the world, I doubt NUFC is the height of his ambitions. Not that I'm saying we are; we are merely the shop window/fallback position and I'm not foolish enough to think otherwise.
You reckon he'll stay beyond his initial loan spell?
