robin van persie

[rickmcfc]

Am i the only one who just doesnt see where RVP wont fit into our team? One area we haven't struggled this season is up front, personally i would rather see us strenghthen at the back or in midfield.

No way, mate.

RVP has better passing, touch, vision, better in the air, better at set pieces, more clinical, better weak foot ... you name it.

This 100%. Van Persie had 14 assists this season, how many has Tevez ever had in a season? To say by a good margin is very odd. Van Persie just had arguably the best ever season by a player in PL history. Tevez is great no doubt, but Van Persie at the moment is the best striker in the world(IMO)

One great season doesn't make him the best striker in the world pal.

By that logic Newcastle's Cisse was the best striker in the world as he lined up against us.

I'll have a £10 bet with anyone on here that he doesn't score 25 league goals next season regardless of who he's with.

All bets are void if he plays in Scotland or Holland next year

Can you name a better striker at the moment? With stats to back it up, because the man had 30 goals and 13 assists in the best league in the world for CRYING OUT LOUD.

In the league RVP got 9 assists

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored 29 goals and got 8 assists while playing in 6 less games?

RVP has played his best season. He will not repeat. He would be like an older Andy Carroll -- ridiculous transfer fee and then nowt. At least Andy Carroll is young enough and looks like he's coming around but RVP is on the zenith of the Bell curve and is on his way down.

Hate RVP, I hope he stays with Arsenal. I am still shocked he made through this season without injury, which means he will break something in summer

I got him for 13(using Wikipedia) if this is wrong I apologize. But those are great numbers as well. Going to be interesting to see how Holland set up this summer with both of them on top form.

Van Persie joined the Dutch squad today with no agreement either way on his future. Resolution not expected any time soon


David Ornstein ‏@bbcsport_david
Don't expect much news either. All camps agreed a vow of absolute silence - furious with a story published on a website on Monday nigh





Vow of silence, not looking good for the gooners hanging on to RVP. No resolution means that RVP probably asked out, or at least wouldn't sign a new contract.
