21 LEFT FOOT, 23 RIGHT FOOT, 6 HEADERS, 12 OUTSIDE THE BOX, 88 INSIDE, 12 PENALTIES, 69 IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE, 6 CARLING CUP, 8 FA CUP, 17 IN EUROPEAN COMPETITION. 100 GOALS OF ROBIN VAN PERSIE FOR ARSENAL.
However, in response to the story, the midfielder Tweeted: “Id never speak 1 bad word abt AFC, here there’s once more prove that so many people put in newspaper wtv they want and its not professional.”I think enough about Cesc Fabregas story. He has gone from EPL ( even I don't remove his picture in this blog banner..). That's the story.. Arsenal need new heroes....
“I want Arsenal to be successful as much as every single fan. Thats not why i left, it was never in my mind. AFC made me who i am today.”
Surely Arsenal should now start their own concerted media campaign to get Cesc back? – force an Arsenal jersey over his head, repeat over and over again that he has “Arsenal DNA”, and then offer Barcelona a derisory sum of money to buy him. It wouldn’t work, but it would be fun to watch.
"I never said that,'' he told L'Equipe, referring to suggestions he was retiring. "The club said that. I am still hesitant. I cannot put myself in the future.''
With no ill family members to speak of, Malbranque's decision to walk out on Les Verts so soon into his contract remains an unusual one.
"I did not take pleasure in training. I tried to be happy but I could not,'' he said.
He has not ruled out a return to England, where he spent ten years with Fulham, Tottenham and latterly Sunderland, adding: "England probably suited me better.''

"As we made it clear it to you previously, Arsenal has just formulated a proposal of thirty million euros for Belgian international attacker Eden Hazard (20), whose contract expires in June 2015, but without success. A new offer of thirty-five million euros is set to be made.
According to our information, the Lille player has already made an agreement with the Gunners over a future transfer. Concern is very much on the side of the club of president Michel Seydoux."
"An agreement has been reached with Valencia CF for the transfer to Chelsea of midfielder Juan Manuel Mata. The move is now subject to the player passing a medical and agreeing personal terms."

At the end of that season, speaking to Rafa, he told me the situation and that he wanted to sign other players and I could be one of the replacements," he explained. "If an offer would have come, probably I would have been sold. That's when I told myself that the situation had changed - from being a very important player to being one of those who can be sold to get funds to sign other players. I accepted it because I am a professional but you have to realise what your situation is. At the end nothing happened because there was no agreement and we started my last season in Liverpool, but knowing what had happened.Source :- Liverfoolfc
"I had to take it from their point of view. We knew what had happened and once we knew I was going to stay, if the manager was going to pick me then I was going to play as well as possible. There were no personal problems, it was a professional relationship.
"I didn't feel I had a point to prove. I knew what I was capable of giving to the team and what I had given for the four years - and then the last one. In the last one the team was really good, we were winning so many games, beating the top teams home and away and that made a big difference. Because of the silly draws we got at home at the beginning of the season, that's probably why we didn't win the Premier League. We felt we had a very good team, we were very competitive and it was a disappointment not to win the league.
"I didn't know what would happen but at the end of the season, knowing what had happened, I felt if another option was to come I needed to take another step in my career. It was very difficult to take that decision, but it was probably for the best for me because I was not comfortable with that situation and if I had stayed another season it would have been uncomfortable for me.
"I was really happy with the team and my teammates and felt that we could do great things. I was happy on that side but within a club you have to see the big picture and another season would have been too much for me.
"As soon as the season finished I talked to the manager. I knew that maybe Madrid were coming and I said if the terms were good then I wanted to leave."
