I think he'll definitely get back to being a decent player, but whether he'll ever reach his full potential is of serious doubt. The Daily Mail article is almost too stupid to comment on... Anelka, Henry, Adebayor, Van Persie all fantastic strikers which Arsenal took and made better. United pay silly money for already established strikers and make them worse... Forlan, Berbatov anyone! One more thing re: Eduardo, I think playing with one striker last season was what really killed him off. It limited his playing time, and when he was on the field he was carrying too much responsibility therefore. It took Van Persie a while to adapt to the role, and it never suited Eduardo. Especially as you have defenders coming through the back of you the whole time, which is not ideal when you're nervous coming back from injury. In general though it suits a more physical taller striker. Certainly sad to see him go.
