Gunners link to Del Piero (1 Viewer)

And let's not forget that the Premiership isn't as physically demanding as the Serie A. And with the way they defend over there, Alex could play some of his best football till he was 36/37.

Not entirely true. You need to be a very classy player to do that in the EPL. You need an amazing ability to read the game and the technique to back it up. Sometimes even that isn't enough. Think Veron.

Anyway, I don't know how much to read into these rumours. Anyone know if the Del Piero quote is recent? He might be putting just a little pressure on Capello, or on Juve for a contract renewal. Or the media might be stirring shit.

contract renewal? isnt the current one running till 2009? he'll be 34 then, its really wishful thinking for him to stay after that.

i wouldnt say great but he has potential to b a very useful player yes not great tho!

 

[Forza Gunners]

Van Persie has the potential to be a great player.... He just needs to mature a bit...

he has matured greatly this season, he gets provoked so much this season and hasnt retaliated at all
id say Rooney is much worse, swearing at the referee all the time

anyway , the Premeirship isnt physically demanding as Serie A, who are you kidding, you saw the obvious gap in pace between Arsenal and Juventus (even though Arsenal are the fastest team in the prem, Juve were slower than the average prem team)

Van Persie is still nothing he hasent proved anything only that he knows how to get reds! wen he proves otherwise i will think otherwise!

 

[Forza Gunners]
