robin van persie (continued)

[BillyShears]

Rags haven't even put a bid in for him yet (not that we have) and there's a hell of a lot of people saying that the entire Van Persie link with them is based on their desire to be seen to be in for for players during this IPO business. As one journalist put it "there's a hell of a lot of leaks coming out of United regarding their transfer business this summer, more than there's ever been"

My money is still on him staying at Arsenal and signing a 12 month contract extension.

Let them sign, after RVP, they wouldn't have the cash for anyone else, and soon after, they will start to realize what they are actual problem is - the midfield and defense.

They have addressed their issue

Vidic back improves the centre half
RvP if true gets them more goal
Kagawa improves their midfield

But they could also drop Rooney into midfield whare he plays qa fair bit for the rags - stunned that people cant actually see the threat form the rags next season

They are a definite threat this coming season, as are Chelsea and Arsenal. I know people on this board don't like saying this but it's going to be a lot tougher than it was last season.

Still have my doubts.

29 years old.
Injury prone.
Prior to last season his goals scoring record was very poor.
Arsenal/Wenger valuation of the player.
His wage demands.
Would Arsenal sell him to United/
Is he really 'value in the market' as far as Bacon Face and United ae oncerned?

Guessing. £15mill transfer fee. 3/4 year contract, £175k-200k a week. Could the Glazer's stomach that?

Probably would be able to stomach it,if there was a possibility of them reaching the last 16 of the CL,increasing gate money and TV money.

8/1 with Skybet to come to us,anyone know if its worth taking.

Whatever you do, don't stick 500 quid on it............

:D

You`re pushing your fucking luck today sunshine !

Very glad that I'm able to make you happy when skies are grey. Sunshine.

Arsenal have published pictures of him training with them this afternoon. If they were even close to agreeing a fee he wouldn't be training.

I hope the rags sign him as it's yet another sign of their desperation, he will be great for a year but it will only paper over the cracks at their club.

i agree he would only paper over the cracks but it would be nicer to see those cracks exposed and watch them go into meltdown

 

[cmdub]

Somewhat off topic but while we're at it am I the only one who thinks that kagawa would play the VdV role at united playing right behind the striker and not the modric role where ur more of a deep lying play maker

 

[80s Shorts]

According to Granada Reports RVP is signing for the scum this evening.

Their source ? Fkin twitter.

They will look at 3 finals in the last 5 years (I think) and decide that can be obtained with the current squad though. Especially when they've got the absence of Vidic and Fletcher as peg to hang their failure in Europe last year on.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Let him sign where ever he wants to go.
It doesn't worry me a bit

 

[Rammyblues]

Didn't RVP say he would only sign for them as long as he received same wages as Shrek. I am starting to think he may just stay where he is. His excuse would be Wenger signing some great players Carzola and Sahin blah blah blah, not sign a contract and then move to wherever he wants next year and pocket a lot more money. There is always the off chance he could still win something with Arsenal.

Could play in net for all I care.

..And, no, you're not alone..as central midfield isn't his position.

We won the league level on points last season with United. If they improve their squad and we dont only one team is going to win next season. And it wont be us.

We need to improve our squad asap!!

We also played pretty much the whole season without Tevez.

And they have an aging defence (Rio, Vidic, Evra) and centre of midfield (Scholes, Carrick).

I don't even think Utd will finish 2nd next season (between us and Chelsea for the title, with us winning the title in the 95th minute on the last day at home to Norwich).
