robin van persie (continued)

It's a short term solution, and uncharacteristic of United, but it goes to show just how much us winning the league last season hurt them. Ferguson is desperate to get the title back before he can retire.

They're going to be unquestionaby stronger this season with van Persie, Kagawa and Vidic back. Given that we only won the league last season on goal difference, I imagine it will be extremely close again this year. Not that I'm worried - I relish the challenge.

You shouldn't underestimate the importance of having a fully fit, committed Tevez back, and if Balotelli can reproduce his form from the Euros then we have a formidable array of options up front.

Let battle commence.

My thoughts exactly, bring it on.

I will feel a tad better though if the RvP signing spurs us on into opening the chequebook for a couple of top notch acquisitions....

Im quite sure it will.
 
Like most (I think) I didn't want RVP. No denying however that they have bought quality but it is at a heavy price. They just got a little closer to us but lets not forget we are going to see more than 4 Goals from Tevez.

I put these figures up the other day, may make you feel a bit more confident !!! :)

2010-2011 season ....vidic appearances 35 ..... rags won 5 games away from home - For 29 against 25

2011-2012 season...vidic 6 appearances.... rags won 13 games away from home - For 37 against 14

Where did they miss Vidic ....other than Everton :)

We didn't need him but I didn't want him to go to them seems to be the views of most blue's, which I agree with.

One thing people need to realise is we can't just buy players to stop others getting them. No doubt Van Persie's a quality player and he'll turn out to be a good signing for them in the short-term. But looking at this deal ignoring how important he may be to either team or whatever, they've paid £24million pounds and £220k a week for a player who is 29 and was in the last year of his contract. They've been ripped off and people wouldn't be happy on here if we had agreed that fee with them - well I know I wouldn't be anyway.

We paid 27 million for Dzeko who is only 2.5 years younger than RVP. If Van Persie scores 30 goals a season for the 4 years of his contract then it would be considered a bargain. I don't think he is gonna morph into steptoe as soon as he turns 30. Bergkamp played until he was 37. This is game on.
 
How many goals do you think he'll get? I'm guessing 15-26 goals as he won't be the only person that the midfield will be looking to assist.
 
Apparently Arsenal could be getting Chicharito in a separate deal. One step forward, two steps back all the time for Arsenal.

Didn't say it was a shit signing as such. Just that I feel that they've been ripped off. We paid £27million for Dzeko when he was what? 26? and he had a few years on his contract left - not 1.

24 I think he was.
 
my take on this... i was told we were after rvp regardless of whether we could offload tevez after the munich fiasco and rvp was up for the move. he made noises and refused to sign another contract as his head was turned. we had a happy tevez again recently and that probably did for rvp. with our current 4 strikers all staying, rvp would have plenty of bench time which wouldn t suit his ego.

he is imo a good signing for utd if he stays fit. its a gamble and a lot of money if it fails and they don t win anything.

lets just hope dzecko doesn t throw a wobbler in the next few weeks now rvp has gone!

fergie really should have bought the keane(esque) or beckham type of midfielder he craves (and needs)

i'm still very happy....bring on the saints!

But we signed Edin 18 months ago making him 4 years younger at the time of transfer.

RVP was THE focus for the arse last year - he won't be at Old Shitford, not if the granny-shagger has anything to do with it. Also, don't both Camel-Face and Granny-Shagger have some kind of index-linked wage agreement linked to new signings? If RVP is coming in on more than either of them, their wages increase as well.

Given the choice between RVP/Rooney or Aguero/Tevez, I'd take our two every time.

He would be a class signing for Arsenal IMO. Basically a poacher and they are always crying out for a finisher. He does fuck all else mind.
 
Is it just me or?

All channels are having a wank fest over the scum signing rvp for 23 million pound, not adding in his 200k a week wages to his transfer fee like they do when we buy a player, on mention that there spending is already at 40 million before a ball is kicked, and if and I mean big if
