Robin Van Persie To Leave Arsenal

<a class="postlink" href="http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11670/7868741/RVP-snubs-new-Gunners-deal" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www1.skysports.com/football/news ... nners-deal</a>

Arsenal captain Robin van Persie has announced he will not be extending his contract at Emirates Stadium.

Speculation has been rife over the future of the talismanic captain, who is entering the final year of his contract in North London.

Manager Arsene Wenger stated the importance of keeping Van Persie at the club earlier this month but the 28-year-old Dutchman has decided against prolonging his deal.

The frontman told his official website: "I've thought long and hard about it, but I have decided not to extend my contract.

Agree that if we keep the same forwards I would be more than happy.

But it appears off what people are saying that Mancini wants him, also remember in an interview last year were Mancini seemed to go out of his way to praise RVP. Let’s be honest he would be another high quality addition if he comes to City, like many people his injury record would concern me and not his age.

How long until we get the first Arsenal bitter on saying how shit he is, I am going for them saying he has had 1 good season as there opening line.

No doubt that he is a fantastic striker but he isn't a Tevez type player who works hard for the team or has the aerial threat of Dzeko. Each of our strikers possess something that we need and selling them would be a mistake. I rate Tevez and Dzeko close enough to the level of Van Persie, I don't hate the guy, he is a top footballer but it seems inevitable that we will get him now which could do more harm than good.

Tevez + Aguerro is a great partnership, best in the leage!

Dzeko offers an alternative but Tevez is something special!

Van pursie, dunno about this guy, injury prone, will throw tantrums if he doesn't play, have enough drama queens as it is

Reading ITK posts on here Tevez is going.

Is there a confirmed 1600 hour press conference?

RVP to City, Ibra to Juventus?

A re-union at Juve could be possible.

I sort of understand the Arsenal supporters, they stood by him through all of his injuries and as soon as he shows a bit of form he fucks of.

Hope the mardarse doesnt sign for City.

I disagree. He's 28 now, and past his peak. He's seen Eboue, Clichy, Nasri, and Fabregas leave last summer to clubs that all went on to win silverware. Time isn't on his side if he wants to win trophies, so he needs to make a decision. Loyalty is a fan fantasy I'm afraid. Players just want to be successful, and not retire with regrets. RVP has given Arsenal 100% effort and dedication since he joined, if it wasn't for him they would not have finished 3rd. Players look after number one, the career is short, they don't care what Stan the ticket holder thinks.

How have you come to that conclusion? He's just had the best season of his career.

Ah good point! Nothing mentioned but you understand what I'm suggesting ;0)

God I hope we get him

 

[jimmy blue shoes]

Stunned at the people not wanting him.

He single handedly got Arsenal from mid table dross to Champions League.

We'd get 4/5 years of top quality from him.

100% Agree. Top class player.

£22m and those wages are a lot higher than I thought considering the time left on his contract.

Arsenal currently discussing whether to issue a response to Van Persie statement. Club had no idea this was coming #bbcfootball #afc


That won't go down well.
