I can't believe we're signing him!
This is the best striker in the Premier League. He stayed fit all last season and look how good he was - unbelievable.
Other than Messi and Ronaldo, this guy is the best finisher in the world. In my opinion, of course. His finishing is insane, he's got the best left foot after Messi, easily.
Sure, maybe he doesn't fit with our criteria of signing players in their early twentys with a sell-on value, but he's 28, he's in the top 3 strikers in world football and has a good 3-4 years left at the top level. He can propel us to the next level, there's no doubt of that in my eyes. The rumoured fee of £22 million is cheap too for a player of his quality, especially when the likes of Cavani and Falcao would cost near £40 million.
This will be the biggest signing in football all summer.

I don't think he would. He has admitted its all about trophies so whichever big club he goes to he must know it wont be about him. Whether that is us with Aguero/Silva or Barca with Xavi/MessiMaviAy said:Paulmcfc2703 said:He is 28 the same age as Yaya and a year older than Adebayor and Tevez. His game is not based around his pace either.
He has scored at least 20 goals in 3 of his last 4 seasons and has averaged about 10 assists a season.
He will be a great player if he signs for us.
Would add something different.
But wouldn't he want to be the star man

Hopefully he's a level headed guy.
These Dutch players have a reputation for talent but causing problems in the dressing room

Let me help you out mate,Vincent said:If we sign RVP I will be seriously concerned.
1. We already have 4 class strikers (5 if you include Ade). Adding RVP will mean we have 5 which is just stupidity at its best.
2. We aren't anywhere near as desperate for a forward as we are for a winger and another centre mid.
3. He's getting on.
1. don't Inc Ade,
2. Tevez could fuck off if his tomatoes don't ripen in time,
3. we need someone with champs league experience,
4. I expect we will be involved in longer cup runs
5. Balo is still a liability
6. RvP is fuckin quality and will be used less than he currently is.

Last seasons top scorer for around £20 million. He could be the player that keeps us ahead of the chasing pack. It's a no brainer

So people actually think we can accommodate
RVP
Tevez
Aguero
Dzeko
Balotelli
Adebayor
Guidetti
7 strikers ?
It's becoming embarrasing. We are not playing football manager.
Until we get rid of at least two/three from that list permanently we shouldn't even be thinking of shelling out more wages on another forward.

Ade is going probably
Guidetti on loan
Do we really need another striker?
Want a passer in midfield!
