robin van persie

Tevez out Van persie in all day for me..

I am not letting Tevez do what he did last year and Balotelli cannot be trusted, so that leaves Aguero and Dzeko as only strikers and Dzeko although I love him just is weird and sometimes looks like he has never seen a ball, so We have one dependable striker.. Aguero.

Van Persie in!!! really want him

Cannot believe there is anybody that wouldnt want van persie,its not our money so why anybody is worrying about the cost baffles me.
If the manager wants him and the owner sanctions it we will be getting one of the best strikers in europe in his prime,whats not to like.

careful mate.....common sense posts are frowned on in here!! :-)

Common sense if you fail to factor in important issues such as his injury record, age and financial fair play

Injury record - overplayed at Arsenal, won't be at City
Age - Got 4 years at the top left
FFP - I'll leave that to the accountants and so should you

Best 'all-round' striker available. I guess the club are not thinking long, long-term, rather the next couple of Champions' League campaigns.

If we can make the maths work with FFP, he is streets ahead of Cavani. At the end of a 4year deal, he would also be a year younger than Drogba, who will be leading Chelsea's line this evening. By that point we may have two more titles and a Champions League trophy under our belt. I believe that RVP will make us a better team immediately, let the accountants worry about resale!

If I hear more about his age I think I will actually implode. He is 28!!!

 

[Aguero]

He'll be 29 before the start of next season. I think in august.

Oh well in that case, he is ancient lol.

And FFPR! Its not down to us to balance the books. If Sheikh Mansour wants to spend 30mill on RVP then so be it. Let him worry about it and not us. 1 of the best businessmen in the world would not spend that type of money without everything falling inline with FFPR.

194 appearances in 8 years suggests he's been anything but overplayed
4 years at the top. How many has Aguero got? 10? Why not go for another like him?
I'd rather not just bury my head in the sand and hope for the best to be honest. RVP is a top player but I can't help but think he's been lucky with injuries this season and we'll end up shelling out tens of missions fand not getting our moneys worth.

I agree with this, would hate to see us get another RSC situation on our hands. Signing a big money player with a proven injury record, is a massive risk.

If we are going to replace Tev, it needs to be for a similar type player. Hard working but top class. For me Lavezzi is the man
