robin van persie (continued)

[carlos tevez is a blue]

I am guessing the fee will be £30,000,000.

Agreed.

 

[Ireland_for_pm]

Think people are putting 2+2 together because of the Giroud signing for arsenal. I'm sure RVP will be a city player this summer though.

 

[oakiecokie]

I am guessing the fee will be £20,000,000.

Other than twitter,any other sources,or is everyone too reliant on the be all and end all of this wonderful messaging service, that always gives us the truth.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

who is leaving though - Carlos or Edin or Mario?

I expect Tevez was always going. I now suspect this signing will mean the end of Edin, unfortunately, because he is now 4th in the pecking order (5th if you include Tevez).*

*If the rumour proves correct.

 

[spacecadet]

Rather have 30 goal a season RVP than the brat from Crewe.

 

[LoveCity]

Has Marwood's finger prints all over it again, 225k a week is disgusting. The City ruining football stuff is nonsense but we're inflating wages by paying over the top for players still if we agree to pay van Persie 225k a week until he's 34. If we pay RvP that then Aguero deserves parity and may demand it. And Yaya. And Silva.

 

[whalley ranger]

Oh buggar, tin hat time for some.

huh?

There are a fair number of us who have expressed reservations about this potential signing.
That's it.
Was it the tin hat bit?

 

[larderland]

id love him here im just worried about his fitness

if he stays fit for the season then hell be one of our biggest and best signings

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

like Yaya's £250k a week? right...

This is the problem. I couldn't give a shit about inflating the market for others but this is what's concerning. That and 'keeping up appearances' as far as towing the line with FFP is concerned.
