Would be over the moon with Hazard and Martinez. RVP would be an error of Shevchenko proportions.

agree with the first part. RVP has a history of injury, he`s 29 in august, i wouldnt be devastated but i dont want him.

I'm not the person trying to sign him, pal!

I respect RVP's phenomenal technique, his ability to score out of nothing.

The boy is highly-motivated to win trophies and I trust us to make the right call, the longer it does drag out.

If I was down to me, I would rather go for Cavani, Falcao, or even Bale in a new forward position, central, and five yards higher, but RVP is not chopped liver by any stretch.

Unlike the Shevchenko reference, Van Persie has already proved his ability in England over a long period of time.

Hazard isnt coming is he ?

Hazard, Van Persie, Javi Martinez, I shall still keep the faith until we actually hear otherwise!

TH you said the other day I think that we had finalized one signing but were not announcing it yet (like Pantilemon). Would any of the 3 you mention above be this signing? And if not does that imply that it is a minor name or youth player? Thanks!!!

Really? What makes you say that?

I just feel he won't produce another season like the one he's just had, that was the exception rather than the rule when you look back on his injury record and consistency across his career on a season by season basis. Then there's the heat he'll take for leaving Arsenal for us (Nasri x10). We'll also have no forwards that are good in the air if Dzeko goes to accomodate RVP. I just feel like all the ingredients are there for this to be THE major City flop if it happens. Obviously I hope I'm very wrong.

RVP had a fantastic season but he is not a 1 season wonder by any stretch mate. He's averaged a goal pretty much every 2 games but there is much more to his game than just goalscoring. He's a deadball expert, has great vision and will suit our style of play. His injury record is a concern but he proved he can keep himself fit. Also RVP is decent in the air. If we can get RVP for the right price then it'll be a superb signing which could potentially take us to the CL Final.

Well I hope you're right and I'm hilariously wrong. Either way I suppose the gooners' reaction will be a picture if/when this signing is announced.

Claims last week that the ­attacking midfielder or winger had agreed to join United in a £32million deal were wide of the mark. In fact, the general view in the game is that ­Hazard will sign for Chelsea or title-winners City. But that situation could change if ­United boss Sir Alex Ferguson persuades his club to match City’s wage offer of £155,000 a week. The sun

Not me mate, we have finalised nothing, with any player.

Hahaha so do I mate. The gooner's reaction will be comical but i think it may be a little less volatile because of our Title win but no doubt the "mercenary" tag will be wheeled out by all and sundry

Perfect for our system. Intelligent front man who scores goals and holds up the ball.

As for his injury record - I'd take him fit for half a season.

We should sit tight and just enter the market if an outstanding player becomes available like Alaba or Bale
