I would have thought "he's had one stand out half a season in an inconsistent career which has been filled with injuries and not that many goals. that's not enough to want to sign him"

no, he`ll be 29 on monday and his injury record since joining arsenal in 2004 is poor to say the least, only playing in 196 games in total.

great player when fit but if i was a betting man i`d have a punt on him reverting to type after a relatively injury free last year.

also his transfer value will be next to zero if we try and unload him in 2 to 3 years. this is a major problem, as much as some think we can buy who and when want regardless of the cost. as proven with adebayor, bridge bellamy and rsc getting these off our books seems to be a problem that is affecting on our ability to strengthen our existing squad

But comes with an impressive 96 goals and considering he wasn`t played as an out and out forward for 3 years,I would say that is a fantastic return.

How old was Teddy Sheringham when he went to the rags. He did ok.
 
Re: Should we sign van persie yes or no

NO! ... World class player but not the right age and injury record, no sell on value.
 
Re: Should we sign van persie yes or no

I wouldn't mind either way. He is a quality player but we already have top class forwards. He is an upgrade on Dzeko IMO, so yes from me. I wouldn't be devastated if he didn't come though either.
 
Re: Should we sign van persie yes or no

No, There is no way Aguero, Van Persie, Tevez and Balotelli can all be happy,as good a player as he is hes just not what we need.
 
Re: Should we sign van persie yes or no

i dont think we will struggle for goals without him, factor in his injury probs, age, the likely premium for a player who is near the end of his contract, maybe shifting dzeko (or another established player) just to accommodate him, then i have to say NO.

What does sell on value have to do with you?

WOuld you rather we sold Kun aged 26 for a fuck load or kept him til he was 32 with a smaller value?
