Van Persie is a good player no where to be compared with the greatest Messi. That goal by Van Persie is, however, by the deflection of Nasri, otherwise, its not that of a good shot. In general, van persie is a good player, though. If I would rank him today, he would not be in my Top 10 list. My Top 10 list (playing currently) would be:

Messi

(A  huge gap)

Ronaldo
Neymar
Rooney
Zlatan Ibrahimovich
Iniesta
Ozil
Falcao
Robben
Hazard

Others notable: Suarez, Drogba, Xavi, Tevez, Balotelli, Aguero, Fellani, Gomez, Soldado, Silva, and Mata.
