Robin Van Persie was out for a good half and odd of the league, which was a massive blow considering their fallback plans included Arshavin (who is more of a playmaker-treaquerista than a striker) and Bendtner (who is more of a goalpost-lookalike than a striker). If people stay fit, and Chamakh's any good, they might give other contenders a very tough race, but yeah, I agree the Manchester United machine is going to toss them.
