Arsenal's Messi

With Gael Clichy, Samir Nasri and Fabregas out of the Arsenal team, Wenger hasn't left with many super stars to compliment in his gunners side. However, the 2010 FIFA world cup finalist Dutchman Robin Van Persie received
much of the praise after their game against Bolton when he scored a brace to capture a thrilling 3-0 win at the Emirates Stadium. That takes his goals tally to 100 for the Arsenal team since joining in 2004 from the Dutch club Feyenoord.

Wenger compared him to the Argentine maestro Lionel Messi, and claimed that like Messi, Van Persie doesn't play as a lone striker, runs in deep and has a good eye for goal.

However, reports suggest that the Dutchman held his contract upgradation talks with the club officials for some reason or the other, which might lead to speculation rumors of him leaving the club in the next few transfer windows.
