I'd rather spend £50m on Cavani or Neymar.
£15m for a proven, world class Prem footballer or £50m (each) for players untested in the Prem and neither are world class?

This.. and don't forget the wage being reported of 250k p/w... utter bollocks!

He is 29. He failed to score an important winning goal in season 2011-12 against us, the rags, a Champs League knock-out game, or the Euros. In fact in the Euros he was total gash.

Cavani and Neymar not world class? get real please.
Cavani is 25 and scored 3 against us last season. Scored against Chelsea as well (and also set up 2 goals for others). That indicates a good premiership ability against 2 of the better sides...
Neymar scores and for fun and is currently South American footballer of the year and is only 20. Need more info?
Both are better longer term options.
You don't have to force it, I'm sold, he's already/will imminently/is close to signing.i8rags said:I'm not one to force my opinion on others but please can some of you get a grip. RvP is clearly absolute fucking quality.
All this injury record and other shite is doing me in,
Just for example there was fuckin quality at our club in Paul lake and down the rd that rag twat Bryan Robson, both had appalling injury records but were absolute quality, also Alan shearer missed two full seasons amongst many injury ravaged seasons and I would of had him in a breath.

Steve Stammers column: Why van Persie risks losing everything by playing hardball with Arsenal and Arsene Wenger
Some time in the next two weeks, Robin van Persie will sit down with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to talk about his future.
He would do well to listen to the Frenchman who will make it abundantly clear that if van Persie decides on pastures new, then the club in his sights had better be prepared to pay top dollar. Around £30 million to be precise.
And if no such offer is forthcoming, then van Persie will go into the last year of his contract as an Arsenal player and the prospect of a free transfer at the end of it.
False economy? Maybe. But van Persie will be 30 in August next year and that £250,000 wage offer currently banded about may have shrunk a little. As soon as the age starts with a "3", then the twitches start.
Van Persie's stock was never higher than in May when he finished as Footballer of the Year, with 30 goals in the Premier League and an injury-free nine months under belt.
But he suffered in the Euros along with the rest of the ego-driven Dutch squad who clearly ignored the fact that there is no "i" in team. Van Persie just did not look the same player although it has to be said he was not helped by the evident chaos around him.
Now come the crunch talks with Wenger - and we will find out if there is a gambling side to van Persie's nature.
One certainty is that Wenger has a stubborn streak. For all his professorial demeanour, Wenger can be as hard as the next man. He has shown he can be ruthless in the past when he has decided the time was up for players regarded as iconic.
The names of Ian Wright, Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Robert Pires come to mind.
So van Persie needs to be aware that if he going to play hardball, Wenger will return it with interest. If there is no £30 million on the table, van Persie will stay and be allowed to take his chances on a free transfer with his 30th birthday a matter of weeks away.
Wenger, of course, wants him to stay. Van Persie is quality. And if the Dutchman opts to see out his contract, then there will be time to bed in new signings Lukas Podolski and Olvier Giroud while they adapt to English football.
Wenger will make his case clear. Arsenal will not suffer from this scenario - so Robin, it is over to you.
