Good news, I hope he goes on to have a fantastic tournament at the World cup in South Africa and an excellent season with the gunners next season. He is so committed to Arsenal.
Further proof that RVP might be a great player-and should Cesc leave;their last remaining World Class Performer!- but he is also very fragile and cannot be counted upon the get through an entire season unscathed.This being the case is Bentner good enough to be first choice back up?If he was playing for any other club,for example,would we be worried by his “abilities”-I think not!
awesome news for arsenal and the netherlands!
just wanted to ask why this site seem to have two different layouts, this red and white, and one blackish and white when i’m on another internet
In fairness Joel, and I know people go on about it, but Bendtner is very young and has improved in every season he’s been with us. He scored 15 goals the season before last and scored 12 last season in 20 less games so he’s only going to get better. Watch out for him next season!!
glad to see RVP is ok beyond doubt a quality player, saw his two goals against mexico 0 yeah ok a freindly but even Rooney would have said wow thats class keep injury free robin have a great world cup and hand the captaincy badge to vermaelen when cesc goes
