Really still cannot believe people are turning their noses up to a top premiership proven goal scoring striker in preference to what?

Aguero and RVP mouth watering!!

Add Bale to that dreamland!

A class CB jobs a good un!
 
IMO we don't need RVP with the current status of CF we have already, but I get the feeling that those who contribute on this forum who seem to have ITK info believe we are def in for him.

This surely spells the end for either Dzeko or Tevez more likely Edin, also Guidetti as illness issues and maybe he won't be in our plans for next year (loan deal likely).

Was told by someone close to Kiddo last year that we were/are in for Bale, RVP and also Modric, can't see us in for Modric but Bale and RVP yes.

after watching modric v ireland i would love him to be in our team! modric, bale and rvp would be amazing!
 
I would take Benzema over van Persie any day of the week. Benzema is just coming to the peak of his career. If he stays at Real Madrid I fully expect him to be the third best player in La Liga next season after Messi and Ronaldo.

Me too, Benzema + Aguero would be a dream team partnership up front. I think Benzema is a complete non-starter though despite what the dodgy "agent" has said on here and Sky Sports.

This , I generally think, though the transfer to thePrem is still a challenge for many foreign footballers

having said that I watched KB come into the first team at Lyon and , even as a teenager , he stood out as CLASS ..this in a team that had some ace players and was winning the League 1 regularly... he has followed this up, after establishing himself, with a crackin season at RM....

would love him at City
 
Just think how many chances van persie would get with silva and nasri....he has got to be thinking about moving to city...on another point i bet after tonight so is torres..

Torres would easily score 30 goals a season if he played for us.

I said this to someone last night. I think his problem was his price tag when he moved to Chelsea & living up to it was hard, a few rough games & the press have hounded him since resulting in a spiral effect. His confidence was shot.
Look at Spain's first game, he lacked pace & at times look disinterested, but last night he looked sharp & wasn't looking up to the sky asking why. He showed he still is a good player & IMO he's worth a gamble. I'd offer a silly amount like £20m & see what happens.

Have you seen those defenders of Ireland? This meant nothing, hope it boosted his confidence but still hasn't proven anything

you've been watching too much Bargain Hunt!
 
Van Persie in the Euros, is closer to the Van Persie which has played most seasons for Arsenal. Not clinical, hit & miss. The only difference being that he played both games rather than getting injured. That is also the kind of form he was showing towards the end of the season for Arsenal, missing chances which he would score in his sleep earlier in the season. That is how he has been for most of his career.

If we sign Van Persie, we could sign a 40 goals per season machine, or equally we could sign an injury prone, mercurial, hit and miss player with a dreadful personality.

It is not the nailed on certainty some people are making it out to be.

No but we would have the depth of squad to step in if he has a lapse in form or gets injured!

We would not be as reliant on him as Arsenal were and he would not be overused here as he was at Arsenal so hopefully he would not pick up so many injuries.

Cant be any worse than the enigma that is Balotelli!

If in that scenario, is it wise to pay 25mil for a player who will only be a supersub or something?
We should be looking for a player who will take over as if nothing happened, when our own current crazy crop of players have a lapse in form or gets injured. Aguero is the only striker in our team who is close to perfect - form, injury-wise everything..

Lets just hope that if RVP indeed to comes to us, he will continue his goal-scoring form and injury-free season with us..such transfers are basically like a flip of the coin..he'll either be good or bad for us..

Play Torres in a team that has Xavi , Ozil , Iniesta , Nasri and Silva in the starting line up and he STILL wouldn't score 10 goals a season. Just saying .
