robin van persie (continued)

[Ntini77]

He wants to win trophies, no way he'd jeopardise a potential move because of insane wage demands.

I like how it's Mancini that has been told he must sell the flops when I thought this was fucking Marwood job.

 

[BobKowalski]

Manchester City transfer chief Brian Marwood is set to jeopardise the club’s bid to sign Robin van Persie by refusing to make him their highest-paid player.

And that will delight ­rivals United, who believe they can win the race for Van Persie if City do not blow the bank.

Marwood is already at odds with City boss Roberto Mancini over Van Persie, with the Italian desperate to land the Dutchman.

City had a £15m bid for Van Persie rejected and Mancini has been told he must sell some of his flops to clear the way for a new offer closer to Arsenal’s £20m asking price.

Arsene Wenger returns from Arsenal’s ­pre-season tour to Asia ­tomorrow and will hold ­another round of talks with Van Persie.

But even if Van Persie ­cannot be convinced to change his mind and City do agree a fee with the ­Gunners, Mancini can no longer count on the club ­offering the player vast sums of money to snub United and Juventus.

Mancini had assumed City would offer Van Persie a salary close to the £225,000-a-week that ­highest-paid player Yaya Toure earns, but Marwood is set to dash that hope.

City already have big problems trying to sell ­Emmanuel ­Adebayor and Roque Santa Cruz due to their huge wage packets.

And Marwood believes it would be a significant and unnecessary risk to pay Van Persie, who turns 29 next month and has a poor ­injury record, any more than £150,000 a week.

Van Persie is already ­understood to favour a move to United or Juve and Marwood’s wage cap will only make it more ­difficult for City to convince the Dutchman to change his mind.

Arsenal were ready to offer Van Persie £130,000-a-week and a £5m signing-on fee before he said he would not sign a new contract.

United pay Wayne ­Rooney £200,000 a week and could match City’s reduced ­salary offer.

The Mirror has been on a mission to write some shit on the RVP saga recently but this is Middle Earth stuff.

Buying, selling we've been made to look like mugs in the past it's time now to play hard ball! We have a quality squad with good back ups, nows the time to reduce the wages we pay when we buy new players to around about the same as Kompany got signing his new contract 130k..

 

[Blue Haze]

Two papers printing nonsense.

Yeah it is but it is the Sunday special bollocks goes up 200% in Sunday papers

 

[Tevez City]

I agree with Marwood on this one, City don't need RVP so badly and thats why they shouldn't pay him +200 K a week as reported.

 

[The Future's Blue]

Funny thing but even though that Mirror article tries to stir the shit with Mancini and Marwood it does the exact opposite. If those were the costs then you'd have to back Marwood on that one and we are well aware that Mancini isn't stupid.

Shite article that only a moron could believe.

Rodney Marsh just said his ketchup says city will pay what RVP wants ;-/
