Lucas is quality and has been our most consistent midfielder this year, no slating Lucas. Too many fans just make him the scapegoat.

On topic of Eduardo, Good player yes but he wouldn't fit in as liverpool.

At the moment, Fabregas is the form player in the World.

That is all for now.

Lucas has looked good because your other midfielders aren't performing.

Edaurdo could if you had a more versatile manager.

And yeah Fabregas is really showing his potential right now.
Van Persie is apparently undergoing unusual stuff to try get his leg better quicker.

Robin van Persie Set To Use Placenta Fluid To Aid Arsenal Return
Dutch forward does not want to be sidelined for long...

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie wants to be back in action as quickly as possible after suffering an ankle injury playing for the Netherlands at the weekend, and will travel to Serbia to undergo radical treatment involving massage from a placenta.

The forward has damaged ligaments in his left ankle and his club have confirmed that they expect him to be out for six weeks.

The player wants to be back before then though, and is prepared to try unorthodox methods in order to speed his recovery.

"I will fly to the Balkans to meet with a female doctor who helped [PSV Eindhoven midfielder] Danko Lazovic," he told Dutch television programme Studio Voetbal.

"She is vague about her methods but I know she massages you using fluid from a placenta.

"I am going to try. It cannot hurt and, if it helps, it helps.

"I have been in contact with Arsenal physiotherapists and they have let me do it."

Van Persie holds no hard feelings about the tackle from Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini that caused the injury, and admits that it could have been much more serious.

"A scan showed that my ankle ligament was almost completely torn off where Chiellini caught me but it was not intentional," he added.

"I was lucky, it could be worse."

Philippe Senderos has hinted that he may be forced to leave Arsenal in his pursuit of first team football.

He spent last season on loan at AC Milan but since returning to North London, he has failed to make a League appearance.

He has admitted that he frustrated by his lack of action. Everton were interested over the summer and may again come in for him in January.

Barcelona will offer Yaya Toure and Bojan Krkic to Arsenal in order to clinch the signing of Cesc Fabregas it was reported today.

The Arsenal captain has long been linked with a return to the club he left as a 16-year-old, and reports in Spain suggest a deal will be completed in the summer.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is determined to hold on to his captain but Barcelona believe that offering the two players, who Wenger is known to admire, plus cash, will be enough to sway the Frenchman.

Both Yaya Toure, the brother of former Gunner Kolo, and Krkic have fallen down the pecking order at Barcelona.

Fabregas has made it clear he has no intentions of leaving Arsenal, but despite this the rumours linking him with the Nou Camp refuse to disappear.

It has also been reported in Spain that Real Madrid could come in for 22-year-old Fabregas with an offer approaching £50m.
