Glamour in Wolfsburg: that was supposed to be provided by “Lord” Nicklas Bendtner. It failed. In April 2016 Wolfsburg terminated his contract.
The Danish international had arrived from Arsenal in 2014 and in 47 games scored nine goals, but mostly made headlines off the pitch: a fine for posing with a Mercedes instead of a VW, lateness to training, and endless extra fitness sessions. Klaus Allofs called him a danger to the group. Perhaps a bit much, but still.
