I'm an Arsenal fan, but I'm going to reserve this judgement till the end of this season. Personally I hope Rooney flops big time, but we'll see
Rooney for now, but Van Persie was playing really weel towards the end of last season. it will be interesting to see if Van Persie can establish himself as an Arsenal starter this year.
Rooney is the best player so far. But the way Van Persie is developing may turn him into a superstar and he may perhaps exceed rooney someday. Rooney is however a starter and RVP is a third choice striker, so maybe that may be limiting his talent.
