da jogodeouro： Robin van Persie has often beautified the Premier League with his elegant style, Arsenal fans have become accustomed to his expert finishing, assists a plenty and a penchant for free-kicks but his contributions are often with frustrating irregularity – injuries have dictated it.
The Dutchman missed most of last season with an ankle ligament problem and having started just one game so far, the heart sinking familiarity of déjà vu will again stalk the Arsenal star.
It looks likely he will miss the first two Champions League games and a huge clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with an ankle injury sustained in the 2-1 victory over Blackburn at Ewood Park and whilst it constitutes a blow for Arsenal, it will also be a personal setback for the player himself as he enters the prime of his career.
He has every right to feel cursed as he embarks upon a second consecutive season hampered by injury. Since day one of his time in England, similar lay-offs have circumscribed the sheer class which he possesses and perhaps he would have hoped, on the back of a World Cup final appearance, that he could display such ability in the absence of injury.
They say stats don’t lie and with only 93 Premier League starts in six seasons at the Emirates, Arsenal fans will start to question whether their lack of trophies is down to the loss of their top marksmen as much as it is their goalkeeping troubles. It is now no longer conjecture that Van Persie is prone to long spelt on the side-lines and stories of a stunning free-kick or a beautifully crafted assist are now inferior to those detailing his absence.
It is also conceivable that he is now a luxury player at the Emirates and that unless he proves his fitness Arsenal may be wise to cut their losses and look to find another striker.
If Wenger’s side harbour any ambition of ending a trophy deprived few years then they must go into battle with “RVP” as the focal point of their attack. Instead, with Nicklas Bendtner injured, they must now contemplate new signing Mauroane Chamakh as the only tangible alternative to lead the line in the preferred 4-2-3-1 system.
I for one sincerely hope that the talented forward comes back stronger than ever and disproves the concept that the dark clouds have chased the sunshine we saw during his Premier League berth away. His ability has been blemished by a whole heap of misfortune.
