RVP will get atleast 15 Prem goals this year if he stays fit. I think he'll get 20 depending on his fitness and how well Arsenal play.
How many goals had Drogba score before last season (he was looking canny towards the end of the year before). He had 1 season where he looked doo-doo, another where he looked solid and last year he was brilliant. I fancy RVP to make Drogba like strides this year. He's also still pretty young isn't he?
Didn't he score the same ammount of Premiership goals as Martins last season despite being injured for half the season?
20?? I'd like a bet he doesn't. 5 in 7 games so far. |

I think the better question is, will anyone be able to finish above arsenal when all their young players hit their peak?

Next ten seasons?! For as many seasons it is before Wenger clears off, hopefully very soon to replace Steve McLaren. |

Maybe younger and actually getting better and better.... scary I enjoy having his type of player in the Premiership. I hoped Henry wouldn't leave |

Yes, when they do they play for Milan and Madrid. well Arsenal don't sell players at their peak, more like on their way down ... so rules that out. |

Henry wanted out though iirc. henry is 30 years old and clearly past his best. he will never be as good as he was for arsenal. and that's all wenger wants: the very best years from his players. when the various advanced stats he combs over show that they are falling off he is ruthless (their own outfield players in their 30's don't get contracts longer than a year). and Luc, until it happens, i'll go on the evidence of bergkamp, henry, vieira, pires, campbell, cole etc that arsenal/arsene don't sell (or allow their contracts to run out) big players unless the team will be better off without them. that's more concrete than some spanish papers trying to sell papers about their clubs buying every top player around. according to the papers vieira should have been playing for real madrid since 2002, but he only left when wenger gave him no option but to leave (wenger was ok with him leaving in 2004, but vieira didn't want to leave). |

True but two summers in a row Henry was close to leaving. |

He's probably suffering from the same thing as Shevchenko. Changing leagues at 30 is not easy for a striker. Henry has an advantage over Sheva though in that Barca play his style of football and he's in the side every week.

Imo Henry should have switched a couple of seasons ago. Gerrard is another who will develop new strings to his bow if he plays abroad. |

Not sure about Gerrard, you might be right but I always thought his game thrives on the end to end nature of the English football. He likes to be the all action player and this league suits that type of player. Patient build up, intricate one-twos and operating in tighter spaces might make him a weaker force, he's at his best when he can build up a head of steam. |

Agree with that, but my premise is that he will learn to operate and think more in 'tighter spaces'. Also there is a rhythm to Euro football which encourges postional sense, something we sorely lack over here...A lot of players running around without really knowing why... |

i agree with alot of comments here but in my opinion what is important is that so far, our home form, is MILES better than las t year,
Last year Villa 3-1 Wigan 2-1 West Ham 2-2 Everton 1-1 Spurs 3-1 Total 3 wins, 2 draws, 11 points, 11-6 on aggregate This eyar Villa 0-0 Wigan 1-0 West Ham 3-1 Everton 3-2 Spurs 3-1 Total 4 wins, one draw, 13 points, 10- 4 on aggregate Not MILES better, an improvement, but not that different. |
