I had totally forgotten about him returning. I agree with you that Fabregas and Arshavin will have to pick up some of the goal scoring slack from the RVP injury Desmond, good point on Vera beginning training this week.

First, I would think an injury to Van Persie so early in a Friendly match would have to be calculated. I would look at this thoroughly. Impacts for Italy if Van Persie were out and specifically how it benefits Juventus. It also calls into question Holland and thier willingness in a friendly to expose key players leading up to the WC. Why not give players who don't normally play a chance? So how does Arsenal cope? Well simple we have many players that can step it up. Vela, Nasri, Walcott, Arshavin....Van Persie Just started to play in form...We can cope in fact this is tremendous for guys like Eduardo who in my opinion is the best pound for pound forward in the world.

Eduardo gives us a different dimension to our play and while I'm not saying he's better than robin he can score with any part of his body, from anywhere in the box with his first touch, much more so than Van Persie who relies upon his sublime first touch to set the ball up for a shot. With Vela and Walcott set to resume training this week, we will be an unkown quantity for teams as they'll have no way of gauging how we'll play as our game will no doubt have to be modified to accomodate players with different attributes. Lets not forget our midfielders and defenders are getting lots of goals and if you look at the goal and assist distribution we're not short on goals. Lets just hope we can adapt quickly to this situation.
