me neither. Our players are the Champions, and they can get so much better together. Don't want to exchange RVP for one of them. RVP will be 29 next season, and his career goal scoring record is not special, neither is his injury recordFantasyIreland said:
Hopefully just paper talk. If we were talking Cavani, I'd think differently

He's probably the perfect replacement for Tevez. I could be wrong but neither Cavani or Falcao seem suited to 2nd striker role.
WHY do we have to pay him 250k per week? That's fucking silly. Arsenal are offering him 130k with no chance of trophies. 150k should be plenty. 30m + 250k would be horrible for a player who has never been healthy until last season.

who from City could be quoted? He's contracted to Arsenal.
This has been rumoured for nearly 12 months. Hell last month RVP himself posted a picture of him having dinner with the man sitting next to Khaldoon at the Emirates.

Really don't want him. he is soon 29 and dodgy injury record. Great player but this would be already taking the piss. Don't want more players from Arsenal. Let's focus on the strikers we have and if there was one striker we were to buy, Cavani please.

People are concerned over his age and injury history. The 11/12 season is the only time in 8 seasons at Arsenal he's managed over 30 league games. And players become even more frail as they get older.
His list of injuries is incredible. 9 recorded injuries in the last 5 seasons.

Irresponsible! Inflated 300,000 wages when we already need to trim the wage bill! Plus with yaya toure possibly leaving, we need to get a replacement
Sometimes football is about the here and now.
At times we lacked the know how during the season to break teams down. Van Persie proved countless times he can find ways to win a football match single handedly, in both the league and Champions League.
The more of this type of player we have, the better.

If you honestly think we are going to pay him £300,000 a week you need to give your head a wobble

Agree, best case for us is he goes to Juventus, that way Arsenal are gutted and we don't have to pay his wages.
He gets injured too much, I'd rather have Cavani.
I think this has been coming. After every match Mancini has said, "I think we deserve to win this game because we have many chance to score" He has been disappointed with a lot of our finishing, and he wants a player that will, guaranteed hit the target 4 times out of 5. Van Persie fits that bill perfectly.

I am strongly against this signing and don't really understand the logic of it. He's a brilliant player of course and would definitely give us something extra but at his age, with that injury record, at these sums of money? Just doesn't add up to me even though I don't doubt RVP is well up for it.
Oh well though, its not my call or my head on the block, certainly not how I'd use our precious resources though
