robin van persie (continued)

[r.soleofsalford]

None of the dutch players had a good tournament.

for 25-30 million I would love him at city

i thought de jong played well tbh

Any RVP doubters need to watch Liverpool v Arsenal. Liverpool dominate Arsenal and RVP saves the day with world class finishing.

Now think about Everton, Sunderland, Chelsea (he hammered them too under AVB) and Swansea. He would of probably scored in each of those games with the service he would get. A half chance volley or 25 yard shot or a net through ball by Nasri or Silva.

He makes sense. My personal preference is Cavani due to age and injury history, hut that aside RVP is the best finisher in the prem and he could be ours. Wow!!!

He has scored 96 League goals in 8 seasons at Arsenal. That's 12 a season. Even if he's now a 20 goals a season man, I'd still prefer Aguero and Tevez. I hope he goes to Juventus thereby weakening Arsenal and leaving out team intact.

My personal preference is Cavani too. But fact is he was on fire last season and scores when fielded more often than not. Service for us will be better than it is at Arsenal and his goals will compliment whatever we have whereas he was a lone soldier at Arsenal.

Arsenals treatment room is notoriously dodgy too. They seem to take ages to fix players and don't seem competent. Most Arsenal players have trouble with injuries it seems, plus he will be rotated here. I just think he's a fantastic acquisition but Cavani/Falcoa would be better. Any of them would be better than Dzeko or Balotelli. Whilst Marios a talent he's an idiot too. Dzeko too hit and miss (even though I love the guy). RVP would take us to an even higher level. I just guess fans love our club and are stuck with the caring mentality, its not natural for us to spend money (pre08) and we want our club to get a good deal. It's a great attitude but fact is we have amazing owner and a manager that knows a player, if he goes for RVP its for good reasoning.

Cavani for me, every day of the week, a phenom that lad.

Tolm said that Bobby really wants Cavani. It seemed from his most recent videos that there was a battle in London over a particular player and that player might well be Cavani.

Just how he played all season for me average at best. Still would love him to stay for years but needs to up his game

 

[ciaranmcfc]

I don't understand why there are so many people not wanting van persie, the only negative for my would be his age but think he would bring quality to the team, and the thought of him and aguero together is amazing!

without going through all the games i have recorded de jong had a major role in aguero`s winner v qpr and the 2 goals against newcastle to name but 2 important games

 

[Ray78]

Should of sorted his future before the tournament.

He'd probably get the Biggest Flop Award... I was set on him however I feel now I wouldn't be as confident in his ability

He was disappointing but if Bobby wants to sign him then I will still back his judgement.

 

[Marvin]

RVP had a very poor tournament and must take some responsibility for his team's failure to qualify. Might put some doubts in bidder's minds

Certainly no one will go close to 30mil with only one year on his contract.

 

[SamCity123]

I keep my view, it has not changed for a long time. He is a player with skill, but he needs a team built around him, then opportunities arise for him.

Not good enough or right for our team, imo, and we should look elsewhere. He'd probably get injured pre-season.

 

[Freestyler]

Not happening.

 

[babeblue60s]

De Jong was great in the Euros their defence couldve appered much worse had it not been fo Nige the enforcer, Van Persie was not nearly the Prem force weve come to expect but Players should never be judged for international careers, Many a player are beasts on the international stage but underwhelm during club play & vice versa. Id still want RVP here.

 

[Akira]

Dip in form, lost his goalscoring boots for awhile back, some time even before the EURO.

 

[allan harper]

For £30 million I'd rather we paid the extra to get Falco !

Of course De Jong had a major role against Newcastle & QPR, as you would expect a Dutch international to complete ten yard passes, still average at best for a defensive midfielder, and to think he's demanding better improved contract is absolutely laughable, he can follow Hughes for a better deal;)

i thought de jong played excellent for us when he played and was excellent for holland imo, as for this demanding which paper did you read that in. de jong has been brilliant at the job he`s done for this club and although he gets well paid to do it, i respect him as a player who to my knowledge has never given this club anything but loyalty and good service. unlike a certain scarfaced tosser.

he is one of the best in europe at what he does granted there is not a lot to his game but he aint there to dribble pass 3 players and score from 40 yards!

would rather have him in the squad than not as shown he becomes an important player in certain games.

 

[bobmcfc]

nobody is going to pay daft money for him (if they do then good luck to them) let him stew for 6 month, its not like we are desperate in that department

 

[robbieh]

To be honest thought he was the best dutch player last night. Not saying much I know but he kept it ticking over with simple FORWARD passes in the main which is his job. He covered well for out of position defenders too.

And while I am not Ronaldo's biggest fan he certainly put Van Persie in the shade.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Not happening.

Opinion or fact?

 

[ABU inc GDR]

I can't see us going for RVP playing the style of football last year..Most of our play is through the middle more suited to 1 up front and one in the hole. Are we gonna be dropping Aguero into the hole??..RVP wouldn't be as good as he's been for Arsenal who have decent wingers!!!

At 30 mill and a hefty wage bill he's too risky to be interested in with his injury record. City should do the sensible thing and look elsewhere
