Football FanCast columnist Billy Pearson feels that Arsenal should look no further than Marcos Senna as the perfect foil for Cesc Fabregas.

Football FanCast columnist Billy Pearson is delighted that Arsenal has beaten United to Ramsey's signature and wonders if the club will learn from the mistakes with Walcott and reconsider loaning the player out.

Football FanCast columnist Billy Pearson is a great fan of Robin Van Persie but feels that Arsene Wenger is taking a huge risk in banking on his fitness for next season.

If there is one player that constantly frustrates me as an Arsenal fan then it has to be Robin Van Persie. It is not because of his abilities on a football field but the fact we don't see enough of him on it. When he does eventually put the No.11 jersey on his back he looks tremendous, World Class' at times and I believe a fit Van Persie would have won us the title this year.
