Unfortunately at this point there is very little in the way of Bendtner updates (I can feel the disappointment from here) as he is busy being Denmark's best ever striker. Hopefully we'll get more in the way of interviews etc from him upon his return.

He's been given the number 52 shirt as per his request and looks certain to make his debut against Chelsea.

The only snippets of interviews thus far have been conducted by the Danish media. A poster on the sunderland forum has taken one such interview and translated the main points which are thus:

-I had offers from other clubs. But I've always said that if I were to be loaned out, it would have to be to an English club. I have a son of 8 months, and I don't want to be away from him for longer periods of time.

-It was in the last minute. The transfer was confirmed 10 minutes before deadline. But I'm relieved and happy, and this move is perfect for me.

-I'm really happy that it was Sunderland. It's a place I really want to be. It's a good club with good support, and a manager I know and respect.

[He revealed he talked to Bruce before the transfer]
-He knows how much it means for me to get away from Arsenal.

[Replying to the question if he sees Sunderland as a step down]
-Sunderland is a place for me to kick-start my career again. I've been out for a long time after my car accident. But the most important thing for me is to wake up each day and be happy, even if it means I don't get to play in the biggest tournaments.

Another interview:

-Sunderland was where I wanted to go from the start. Now I can hopefully solve the problems I've had. I will get a lot of time on the pitch.

-The most important thing is the manager, whom I respect greatly and get along with really well.

All sounds good, can't wait to see the lad in action terrorising defences

Good luck to you safcftm and I genuinely think he will do okay for you guys, but do you seriously believe any of that, except for talking to Steve Bruce and the move going through last minute?

For the past few months his thoughts have been to going anywhere but Sunderland!!

I actually think and hope he does well there and comes back to us next season.

Its a bit sad he was so desperate to leave us. I suppose abuse from fans, being continually played on the wing and not starting games took its toll.

To be fair I'd move to Sunderland if there were jobs, but I take your point

Aye, obviously a lot of the interview will be your standard footballer speak but I think when no other PL clubs came in for him he will have been quite relieved that we wanted him since he seems desperate to feel like an important part of a team, knows he needs regular football if he's to progress and I believe him when he says he didnt want to move abroad because of his son. But aye, if you asked him on the 29th of August where he'd like to be after the window closed, Sunderland would have no doubt been quite far down his list. Still, I'm confident he'll enjoy being here now he's made the move and I think the move will work out well for us, him and Arsenal

Not taking the piss now

but seriously its going to be interesting to see how he gets on. Playing for Sunderland in his right position and getting a run of games i think he might do quite well for you lot
