The Gunners' Flying Dutchman admits the team needs reinforcement if they are to mount a title challenge... Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has admitted the club need to strengthen after Emmanuel Adebayor's departure. The Dutchman believes that the club have options in attack, but told Arsenal's official website he would welcome any new addition. "It depends how the boss wants to play – with one or two strikers up front, but myself, Eduardo, Nicklas [Bendtner] and Carlos Vela can all play the main role up front. So there are at least four options," he explained. "However if you ask me I am not against a new player as well because it would strengthen our squad." Togo international Adebayor left Arsenal for Manchester City in a deal believed to be worth £25 million, but manager Arsene Wenger has shown no immediate intention to replace the hitman. The Frenchman has admitted in the past that the return of van Persie and Brazilian striker Eduardo from long term injuries will be like bringing in two new signings. However the rumour mill suggests that Arsenal have made a bid in excess of €17 million for Real Madrid striker Klass-Jan Huntelaar. |

Don't think a striker is a priority right now, as if a similar player to Adebayor was signed then Wenger would need to be shifting Bendtner. I do agree though that strengthening is needed, albeit only minimal, but none the less it is required. |

RvP is only saying this as he wants Huntelaar alongside him. We need to strengthen defensively and central midfield, NOT up front. |

Wrong, RvP has made it public knowledge he would love his international teammate come play at Arsenal. |

Do a search yourself as I can't be arsed. I'm half dutch ffs, and know they have had one or two run-in's, but on RTL 4 he has said before he would like Huntelaar to play alongside him at Arsenal. |

Well then he is off his rocker, because Huntelaar is fucking rubbish. Can't even get in the team ahead of Kuyt. |

The interview was during Euro 2008...since then RvP may have changed his mind, but they are good friends (off the pitch). Also, it's interesting that RvP stalled signing a new contract for so longe...wondering what Wenger said to convince him to put pen to paper. I personally don't think we need Huntelaar at all and the money should go towards beefing up elsewhere. |

At this point it doesn't matter who we sign. We could buy Messi FFS. Wenger has completely lost his marbles. |

Yeah, but Hangelaand looks to be more likely on the cards, esp with Kolo likely going to City...for £15m
