robin van persie (continued)

[adrianr]

right its about time i commented on this.

i dont know the the figures etc but what i have been told by my mate who ,works for uniteds solicitors ( but hes a blue ) is that a deal was agreed with city in january but city wont pay the extortionate agents fees and that was the only problem.

Wouldn't surprise me. Story of our bloody lives that! At least if agents fees scupper this deal I won't be as miffed as I was over Hazard.

Have the agents fees now been agreed on Goatinho ?

no mate , thats why everything is still up in the air.
personally i wouldnt be arsed if we dont get him , injury prone , age etc etc also i dont think he suits are game but if we did get him i really dont think he will walk into the team.

also someone may no more about agents fees than me but didnt we have a bit of slagging off not long ago about us paying loads of fees to agents? thats why this rings true as we need to sort it for FFP.

TCIB - ive been swamped already but im not ITK i just know a couple of usefull contacts as i explaind ;)

He is worth 15 million but if its his agent wanting fees tell him to piss off united. Great player not sure he will be as good as last season

If Juventus got him, I wouldn't be too fussed at losing him because he'd not be strengthening the rags.

If United got him, I'd be gutted. Van Persie and Rooney plus the signing of Kagawa (being hugely underrated on here and even by some United fans somehow) and possibly a central midfielder would make them a much harder challenge to overcome.

Watching the Premier League Years showed just how good he can be, some of those goals he scored not even Aguero could score. RvP and Aguero together could be incredible.

Injury history not age is the concern with van Persie. His age is completely irrelevant, at nearly 29 that gives him possibly 4 or so seasons at the highest level especially especially as his game is not reliant on pace. But one breakdown of his knees could lead to another endless set of injuries for him which could mean we pay him nearly £200,000 a week for 4 years to play 15-20 games a season. That's the risk.

I don't think the rags will go over £15million to £18million personally as they have other priority areas like left-back and central midfield (Baconface finally admitted today he has to strengthen it).

Apologies if covered before, but can he not buy himself out of his contract? If so, surely his transfer value is ultimately linked to the value of his contract (even if he doesn't want to rock the boat to that extent)?

He has such a sweet left foot and can hit a ball from distance,would definitely add something else to our forward play,and he is used to playing with Nasri and Clichy.Problem I have is in letting Dzekos or Tevez go,if that will happen,as like them both for different skills...

If someone could Photoshop bacon face onto chemical Ali I think it would be genius but then again rags probably wouldn't know who chemical Ali is.

Why would he buy himself out of his contract it would be stupidity

He has 3 clubs offers on the table - all three decent clubs (it hardly like he is being punted to so Russion club in the middle of no where or worse still Wigan) he knows he is going to get more money than he is on now and if Le Arse dont sell him he get more when he goes on a free next season

A players transfer value is linked only too what one team is prepared to sell a player for and what one team is prepared to buy that player for not much else is relevent

He is 20 million of anyone's money so start from there - anthnig more i would suspect would be linked to appearances because of his injury record
