Wow, very accurate ratings. Everywhere else I look Denilson is disgustingly underrated, here he seems to get noticed for his seamless yet important work.

Van Persie is top quality! I would say he has been the best player for Arsenal this season!

I think if adebayor couldn't give us his full commitment to the club anymore he should just leave and wherever he want to go. professor wenger should keep these boys together and add one or two quality to them especially in our back four. Arsene should play every players where their best can be seeing.

i think that if we had an out an out striker who was scoring goals it would take the pressure of bendtner and he would develope a lot quicker and be a better player.

bendtner missed a lot of easy chances this season and was slaughtered for it. until he scores 25 goals in the league he wil thought of as a bad player which is competely untrue at 21yrs of age he has scored 15 goals in a season his positional play is world class already he might have missed a dozen r so easy chances but he got into that many positions by himself if he can build his confidence he wil b a world class striker he has the positioning strength skill pace and vision needed he needs confidence and to improve his finishing he is 21 and is one of the best strikers of that age around europe he is arsenals 4th choice striker and one day wil b no.1 he needs fan support love the players and they will love the club
