If van Persie is open about where he'll go, he might already have left Arsenal by the time we're ready to make our opening bid (after we sell Tevez or Dzeko). Clubs aren't going to wait around like we will which begs the question is van Persie dead-set on coming here?

Win win situation for us to be fair, the arguments about it are daft. Sign a top striker or keep the 4 top strikers we already have.

Fair enough, but one of our strikers took 6 months off last year, and has put in 2/3 transfers requests at moment. Another was suspended for almost a quarter of season, yet we still won the league.
Yet the striker we want to sign played a full season and was also top goal scorer!
Plus about ten assists. Balo one had one.
BUT IT WAS A GREAT ONE, BALLOTELLI, AAAGGGUUEERRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ivan Gazidis is a city fan apparently so no wonder we sign a load of their players!

Prior to last season RVP hadn't completed a full season for Arsenal. So if were comparing strikers at least give Balotelli (who is 7 years younger) a chance.
At the age of 21 RVP played 26 times in the league for Arsenal with 5 goals and 1 assist. In total 41 games and 11 goals (Just over 1 goal every 4 games). Comparing that to Balotelli's 23 games with a much more productive 13 goals and 2 assists (not 1). In total 32 games and 17 goals (Just over 1 goal every other game).
Just trying to put in perspective what Balotelli can do now, and what he could do at RVP's age if the extra baggage is gone.

Does Dzeko want to leave?
If not, I am surprised at how happy some seem to toss him aside for RVP. Dzeko scored some important goals for us and no matter how they came about or how many were in one game etc if this season showed us anything it's that every goal counts. Don't we have to take into account that RVP was more or less the only goal scorer for Arsenal, where as our players had to fight for time on the pitch so spreading the goals amongst three.
One of my most vivid memories of the QPR game was Dzeko after scoring, running back to the halfway line shouting at the team to C'mon!! He obviously believed in the team and what we wanted to achieve. I worry we are being to quick to always want the next shiny new thing, pulling names out of a hat, so sure player A,B,C will be better and cast aside the players we have. Maybe we should take a breath and appreciate what we have, a title winning team! We were lucky with Aguero, he settled in so quickly and has shone, we may not be again. When the team are so together I can't help thinking if it ain't broke don't fix it

Why don't we just let Bobby manage his squad thats what he's paid to do. It's irrelevant what we think anyway, it's up to Bobby and of course our Chairman/Owner who we bring in or don't bring in. Just enjoy the fact that we are now in a position as a club, for us fans to have discussions about whether we should bring one of the Worlds best strikers to the club or not.
