Anyways... about this Van Persie bloke....
munster said:The litmus test of a season is that whoever finishes ahead of 'Nited will likely win the title. We achieved that last season by the skin of our teeth. They will be stronger next season with or without Van Persie, but I believe we will too, not least because:
1. our group of winners is on the next year of their development as a team.
2. we shall strenghten with a couple of purchases, though I do not think that they will include RVP; rather we shall probably look to Martinez or DDR and another defender, whilst off loading Kolo, Weiss, RSC and (hopefully) Adebayor.
Keep the faith fellas

Quite correct, never underestimate your enemy. If they sign him they will have a strikeforce second to none. We won the league last season through the skin of our teeth, they are the team to beat and finish above. I do think they have money issues (Glazers I just love them) and I do think that their debt has caused a slowing down on the buying side. In the old days they would have thought nothing about blowing 30 -35m on a player, they did and created new British transfer records as they went along. I believe they have one arm tied behind their backs in the transfer market and that has allowed us to match them but again IMO we haven't overtaken them completely.

I read on some site earlier today that we were his least favourite of the 3 options. Although this can't be confirmed until he does sign for someone, has anyone seen this in any of the quotes from him (I read it on a transfer site)?

Roberto Mancini fears Manchester City have lost the initiative in the scramble for Robin van Persie's signature.
Arsenal had been bracing themselves for another approach from City when the teams meet for a friendly in Beijing on Friday but this may not happen.
Mancini has become increasingly unhappy that the Barclays Premier League champions have dithered, possibly missing their chance to capture his prime target, who has told the Gunners he will not sign a new deal when his current one expires next year.

i agree with this, hes not even playing for us and we're paying him a huge wage to train in the reserves. this matters, we need to get rid of him and i pray that we can move him before the 31st next month. i would be more happy if we got rid of him and signed no one then signing someone and sending him out on loan/training with reservesMad_fer_it said:Just need to get rid of adebayor and the transfers should begin
