Fairly confident Super David Silva 21 is wumming again
Is this a well informed opinion mate or is it 100% ITK?cookster said:Knee jerk based on rumor in Italian press. Mancini wants RVP 100%

1) VP does not fit the profile of any of our signings. Too old.
2) He is whatever anyone says an injury risk.
3) Arsenal wouldn't want to sell us a virus after everything that went down in the past.
4)We have 4 talented strikers already and have still to offload a couple of others Ade, RSC.
5) Mancini has always wanted Cavani. RVP is a smokescreen. Mancini says nice things about him, keeping our options open. RVP may have been a fall back if Tevez had exited, but he's staying.
6) In addition after 8 years in England it's fair to assume VP might like something different. Always thought he'd go to Barca.

RVP is attainable and better than at least one of our current strikers. Hence our interest.robbieh said:cookster said:robbieh said:Regardless of the ITKs on here never thought this was a runner for several reasons.

Not knee jerk. Have thought all along that we are not in for him. The most obvious thing is that we don't need him. Cue people saying he is better than Edin. Sure he is.
But then we sign Messi surely as he is better than Silva. And so on.
That's a big if, of course. But the sooner van Persie is sorted, the better. It's my understanding that his preference is Juventus. Then Manchester United. And the chances of van Persie going to Manchester City are a distant third.
Van Persie does not fancy the City dressing room, sees an awful lot of players there and a lot of rotation and knows that moving to the Etihad would end his relationship with Arsenal fans.

Haven't our ITKs told us he wants to come here? So who is right, Cross is allegedly close to van Persie.
He better not go to the rags, a van Persie/Rooney partnership... just no.
