The kids, those kids
Thierry Henry believes that Arsenal have found the perfect goalscoring machine in Arturo Lupoli, saying he will score bags at any ground anywhere. He is also gushing over the talents of Robin Van Persie. And how about Cesc Fabregas. Someone seriously needs to check the age certificate fgor that boy. He is simply majestic. He midfield genius, and he is 18. Yes he is 18.
But for me the king in waiting is RvP11. I said last season that he would turn out to be better than Arjen Robben I was laughed out of town. Robben is a winger with a few tricks. RvP11 is four-dimensional football genius who plays the game like a symphony. Note I said four dimensional. His goal against Blackburn cutely illustrates this. It is the 92nd minute and he is on the touch line and everyone is expecting him to run the ball into the corner. But not this young pretender to the number 10 jersey. He slips the ball between Savage and Gray, the former catching him with a cynical kick and he keeps going. Single-minded, directional, he is going to score and from the most frightening of angles curls the ball round the keeper hits the post and Highbury goes mad as the ball finds its way in. Go back to a few weeks ago when he did the pirouette round if i am not mistaken, a thun defender and runs the ball at goal and blasts it past the keeper.
He is like Dennis Bergkamp but with a bit more bite and a lot more interested in the goal than just the creation of it.
I like the way Thierry is really talking the kids up. It gives them confidence to perform. And my are they coming to the party or what? Thierry's leadership is coming to the fore now.
