robin van persie (continued)

[Blue2112]

I don't think we need RVP and in all honesty if we have a fully focused Tevez alongside Aguero then I think apart from Ronaldo and Messi there's nobody else i'd replace either with. Maybe Mancini has seen and judged Tevez at close quarters and accepts he's now determined to commit himself hence why we've cooled on RVP?

I think it's more to do with us not receiving a decent bid for Edin.

Fair comment. I do think we will make a few big signings still. Khaldoon is no mug and he along with Mancini will be well aware of the need to defend the title whilst pushing on to make further progress in the Champions League this time around. If truth be told i'm not 100% convinced we can rely on the backup of Balo and Dzeko in the same way we can with Tevez and Aguero. Yaya needs some backup aand along with another quality defender I think we'd be finished.

£220k a week plus a likely £20m transfer fee adds up to £60m for a player that has no sell on value and has been known to suffer injuries.

That smells of panic to me from them.

It would be a good signing if he stays fit but they have spunked £50m on berbatov with no resale value. Hardly the sort of business that glazers are keen on.

If we get Agger and a top notch midfielder then we will compete.

Tevez is like a new signing for us but a risky one!

Guaranteed that this figure won't be included in every newspaper match report like the made up numbers that the mirror, sun, etc like to include about city players.
In fact, Van Persie will soon have risen through the utd ranks and will still be on the same YTS wages as George Rooney

Totally agree...it's Pissheads final hurrah. He knows VP will make them better for the next 2/3 years he is there and then he won't give a shit what they sell him for. Us beating them to the title as well as totally dominating the 2 games between us will have hurt that **** more than anything in his managerial history.....the one good thing is you can't stop the clock and he will be off sooner rather than later.

Having said that I am not sure what marwood is doing other than pissing Mancini off! Our transfer activity has been poor to say the least.

I would be a lot more gutted about city losing Dzeko than Van Persie joining the scum.

Sir Alex Ferguson says Manchester United's attempts to sign Robin van Persie from Arsenal have stalled.

Van Persie, 29, has 12 months left on his contract at Arsenal and has declined an offer to extend his deal.

"We've made a bid, they [Arsenal] have been trying to negotiate with other clubs," said Ferguson.

"I don't have a gut feeling about it. We can't get a breakthrough with Arsenal."

"I don't know what Arsenal's thoughts are because they're not giving anything away," he told reporters after United's friendly against Barcelona in Oslo on Wednesday.

"It's difficult to say why they're operating this way. I can't give you any more information.

"We are trying our best and hopefully it will come our way but there's no progress at this moment in time."

Ok. Now taking bets. Which of his 2 favourite back-downs will Fergie use when he fails to get RVP?
And no I don't think he is coming to us, nor do I think we need him.
Will it be excuse;
1. I can't believe that any club would pay that much for him. This only goes to show what I said all along, there is very little value in the transfer market because of that lot from over the road.

Or will it be (my particular fav as he has used the former already today;
2. The two clubs had gone some way to agreeing a fee and we had a perfectly acceptable offer on the table for the player, but you have to understand that we have a wage structure and its good business practice to try to adhere to it within reason and when a player is offered the amounts of money that they (the bastards from over the road) have offered him, then its obvious that anyone would go there. he could have come here and taken part in the great history of this club but obviously money is more important to him than pride and success (just like Sami last year)

I have some reliable information that the scum have not even placed an official bid for RVP so they will find it difficult negotiating with Wenger won't they. Once again its all smoke and mirrors to keep their blind followers money rolling through the tills.

I do believe that we will be signing a forward but whoever it is they will have to be able to fill the rather large hole that Dzeko will leave as I firmly believe that he is determined to move on, and RVP (great player that he is) is just not the type of player we will need so stand by for Carvani.

Rooney was shit last season? Hardly lol.

I made a point in another thread re Rooney..in a way he was quite poor last season as he performed awfully and I mean damn awfully on numerous occasions...but it doesn't matter in the league because he'll score all the shit penalties and tap-ins (not saying they're not of value) against the poorer teams in the league that united needed to win games. How many utd scorelines do you see that are similar to this.."utd 2-0 QPR (Rooney(p), Scholes)". My mind might be playing tricks but I'm certain there are an awful lot of them. Ferguson singled him out for this post Villa in April.
The other problem is that he carried much of that form into games against better opposition.
As it's results that matter it's up for debate whether he was poor because he scored so many goals but, as much as it pains me to say it, he's got much more ability than just being a goalscorer, he should be a player that makes that lot exciting to watch and brings others into play much more than he didlast season.

[Daz_Blue]

From the Telegraph ....

Sir Alex Ferguson’s determination to reclaim the title from City, as he enters the twilight years of his managerial reign, could not be clearer. For the United manager to parade Van Persie, while Mancini frets about missing out on a player he had made clear he wished to add to his squad, will be a bold reassertion of Old Trafford spending power.

They have reasserted their spending power over us ....LMAO

Rooney was shit last season? Hardly lol.

i turn the telly off when united come on.

i never read their match reports, so to be honest i don't much about em.

Robin van Persie: Manchester United's bid for striker stalls

Sir Alex Ferguson says Manchester United's attempts to sign Robin van Persie from Arsenal have stalled.

Van Persie, 29, has 12 months left on his contract at Arsenal and has declined an offer to extend his deal.

"We've made a bid, they [Arsenal] have been trying to negotiate with other clubs," said Ferguson.

"I don't have a gut feeling about it. We can't get a breakthrough with Arsenal."
Van Persie in numbers

United manager Ferguson first revealed the Reds had made an offer for the Dutch international striker on 20 July.

It is not known whether they have improved their original offer, but Ferguson said he did not know whether United's pursuit of Van Persie would be successful.

It is understood Arsenal are reluctant to enter formal negotiations until a bid exceeds £20m.

"I don't know what Arsenal's thoughts are because they're not giving anything away," he told reporters after United's friendly against Barcelona in Oslo on Wednesday.

"It's difficult to say why they're operating this way. I can't give you any more information.

"We are trying our best and hopefully it will come our way but there's no progress at this moment in time."

Van Persie scored 41 goals in 53 games for club and country last season and was named Professional Footballers' Association and Football Writers' player of the year.

Juventus have also been pursuing Van Persie's services while Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini revealed the Premier League champions were now out of the running for the striker.

Meanwhile, Ferguson admitted to being staggered after hearing that another summer transfer target, Lucas Moura, had agreed to join French side Paris St-Germain.

The Brazilian, who has represented his country at the London Olympics, will join in January 2013 on a four-and-a-half year deal from Sao Paulo.

"I find it quite amazing that a club can pay 45million euros for a 19-year-old boy," said the Scot.

"To tell everyone that PSG are here they've signed Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. They must have spent about £150m in the last month.

"When somebody's paying €45m for a 19-year-old boy you have to say the game's gone mad."

The fact that Fergie never used to do this and now with hazard, lucas and rvp using the media to get them says everything. Their power in the transfer market is not as it used to be. Saying things to the media doesn’t show any strength, everyone can do that

38,000,000 euros for a defender how many years ago you pissed stained, arrogant, purple nosed fuckwit.

[City Raider]

wonder if wenger will come out and slate fergie the way he did rm last summer

 

[spam1967]

About the same as the considered and thoughtful post you just made...

at the end of the day we don't need rvp.

united do need him.

why are you's all so concerned what the fuck rvp and rooney will do up front for the rags.

rooney was shit last season. and he'll be shit this season.

why are you all on my case?

i know we'll win the league without worrying about where rvp plays next season.

yeah if he comes here, all the better.

like i say, i'm not all that bothered rvp, fuck him.

we've got to win the league with or without him.

don't be getting too distracted.

If 35 goals is "shit" then what was Aguero last season?

Someone's trying too hard...

as much as you want me to admire rooney.

i can't do it mate.
