Van Persie

When Henry left Arsenal many fans believed that he should be replaced by a big name signing. Like always, Arsene Wenger didn’t surprise all of us by not signing established and famed players. Instead he signed a little known Eduardo Da Silva, a brazilian born Croatian footballer. Although Da Silva had been scoring plenty of goals in Croatian league, but the league doesn’t boost to be competitive enough in comparision to the Premiership.

In my opinion Wenger has already seen a potential replacement for Henry in the name of Van Persie. Van Persie is an excellent player with a sublime skill and having a lethal left foot. Many believed him and compared him to be next Bergkamp both by Dutch supporters as well as arsenal supporters. He has the sublime skill matching those of Bergkamp but is still far from learning that eye for an outstanding killer pass which no can see. But he is better than Bergkamp in one aspect he is more of an aggressor and has more chance of scoring goals than Bergkamp.

Van Persie has led the attack not only for the club but also for his country. He can score amazing free kicks. He also possesses some trickery in his boots which he can perform so effectively even in the opposition’s D-box. Persie is already a fan favorite and is on the verge of stepping to next level. I know he has the ability to do i.e. becoming a legendary player from a good player. Van Persie is the man everyone is looking forward when Arsenal is going to be without Henry their top marksman for several years. Will Persie be able to fulfill our expectation? Let’s see. The premiership is ready to start again in a couple of days.
