It's quiet 10, no apologies! (continued)

I almost wish I hadn't heard Thiago Silva was even a remote possibility. Anything else is going to feel like a step down :p

 

[The Future's Blue]

Does anyone really believe we will get RvP?

Does anyone really believe we will get RvP?

Only if RVP does not want to stay at Arsenal on a score of 1-10 I reckon about 3.

 

[Tevez City]

I still can't understand this.....but why the fuck are we still talking about/interested in Van Persie?
Soon to be 29 year old injury prone striker who has had an amazing season. But would cost alot, yet only give maybe 2-4 good seasons before leaving on a free.
I was hoping we wouldn't go the Chelsea route in buying some of the most established players in their late 20s like Torres/Sheva. It's not like RVP is leaving on a free. To spend 25m on him sounds like a real waste of money.

+1

Don't look so far ahead.

Van Persie has just completed 60 games without any injury whatsoever.

He has/is just about to turn 29 and your 'two-four good seasons' could equate to another couple of league titles and haul of trophies, including the Champs League.

The numbers don't make sense, sure, but Van Persie is absolutely world class and technically one of the very best around. A motivated one at that to win silverware.

£25m for someone of his guaranteed quality is peanuts.

Couldnt agree more, at times last season I think ecspecially in away games we lacked something out of the extroadanary. Remember watchin arsenal v spurs and arsenal were dire in that first half, and van persie scored a great curling shot into the top corner to equalise which they eventually won 5-2. Van persie did this on more than 5 occasions last season. The only player I think we have like this is mario but through injury/suspension only plays half season. His free kicks and corners are exceptional aswell and that is also something we lack. I know people are goin to say we scored the most goals off corners last season but we also wasted the most.

I hope Khaldoon doesn't rubber stamp the move for RvP. Yes he is a good player and scores goals but he just doesn't fit our team i don't think.
How will he cope if he joins us and everyone in the team doesn't look to pass to him. He will probably get 10-15 goals a season max. He rarely scores freekicks so that is a pointless trait, rarely assists anyone else.
Truly pointless signing in the shape of Shevchenko for Chelski.

But if he came in, 1 of Tevez, Balotelli or Dzeko would go. Balotelli would be the only player I'd be prepared to effectively trade for RVP.

 

[mancitydreamteam]

This may sound like a crazy statement but I'd take Sturridge over rvp. That is only if none of are strikers are sold. The reason being tbh we don't need rvp, we scored enough goals last season id rather take a younger player with huge potential who mancini can develop into a very good player, rather than get another quality striker which we already have 4.

Yeah, when they played the bin dippers Away last year, I know there shite but they deserved to win that game, yet a World Class volley at the end from RVP gets them the three points. He's a match winner which is what we need more of.
