COULD TROPHY DROUGHT COST ARSENAL CESC AND VAN PERSIE?

Arsene Wenger's Arsenal have failed to win any major trophy since Patrick Vieira's penalty won them their last trophy against Manchester United in 2005. This has left their star players very frustrated leaving with options on their future at the club. Cesc Fabregas has clearly stated his intention to move to his former club Barcelona due to a six year trophy drought at Arsenal. As at December, Arsenal were in the top four and were also featuring in both the FA cup and the Carling Cup in addition to the Champions League.
 This year seemed to be a bad year for them as they lost to Birmingham City in the Carling Cup final, got eliminated by Barcelona at the Camp Nou after a spectacular display at the Emirates and were outclassed by a Manchester United team that started the game with seven defenders with one of them on the score sheet in the FA cup quarter finals. Their title hopes dealt a big blow after some late drama against Liverpool where two penalties were awarded to either teams within 12 minutes of added time.
Van Persie could be lured by other clubs who are capable of winning at least one trophy a season and surely this will be a mouth watering offer he might find difficult rejecting. Arsenal at the moment in can find solace in the Emirates Cup they have won in the past few years. Could they recover from this shock or improve upon this season's performance next season? This si a question to ask frustrated Arsene Wenger.
