For a large part of this season Arsenal were lacking any firepower as all their strikers were injured at the same time, but now most of their injury problems are in defence.

The club received yet another boost as the French manager has revealed today that Robin Van Persie is going to return to train with Arsenal again this week, and could return to the team in time to play some crucial end-of-season games. .......Read the full article here

Arsene Wenger has received a tremendous boost this week with the news that Robin Van Persie has made rapid improvement after the operation on his ankle, and is now expected to be able to help the team in the crucial latter stages of the season.

The Mail today reports that Van Persie’s Dutch medical team has revised his expected return date to just seven weeks time. It seems that he is now walking freely and has resumed light training as he attempts to build his strength back up. It was originally thought that the Dutch international would be lucky to take any more part in Arsenal’s season but this news will help vindicate Arsene Wenger’s decision not to buy another striker this month. .......Read the full article here

The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that he will definitely be buying a striker during the transfer window, and has revealed that Nicklas Bendtner will not be returning to the side in January, as was previously expected.

“Robin Van Persie and Bendtner contributed to many of the 51 goals we scored,” Wenger said. “They were both in outstanding form and we miss them.

“But on the other hand we have played 19 games and if you multiply 51 by two it is over 100 goals for the season.

“That is absolutely tremendous and people don’t realise how efficient we are going forward. .......Read the full article here

The Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has promised that his club are going to sue the Dutch FA for compensation after Robin Van Persie was injured during a friendly match against Italy.

Wenger said: “We are working on this with our lawyers at the moment and we are definitely going for it.”

Arsene Wenger has made many statements against the Dutch FA since Robin Van Persie was ruled out for the rest of Arsenal’s season. He is understandably annoyed that he has lost his star striker for the rest of the season, thanks to a “meaningless friendly”, and now he is demanding changes to the rules.

“I look basically to rebalance a little bit the power in favour of the clubs,” said Wenger.

“At the moment we feel inside the clubs – and that feeling is shared between many mangers who are responsible in the clubs – that we have nothing to say. Our players go away to friendlies, they come back injured and nobody cares and we just have to accept the situation. .......Read the full article here

The Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger has revealed that the club intend to sue the Dutch FA or EUFA for compensation after they lost Robin Van Persie for the rest of the season.

Van Persie tore some ligaments in his ankle while playing in a “meaningless” friendly for Holland against Italy last month, and to make it worse, the official doctors on the scene misdiagnosed the injury, leading to a delay in urgent treatment to Arsenal’s leding striker.

Wenger said: “Nobody knows what it will cost us, but we’ll seek financial compensation for the salary. .......Read the full article here
