Arsenal fan's u mad

[Naruto N. Uzumaki]

Arsenal have confirmed that terms have been agreed with Manchester United for the transfer of striker Robin van Persie. Last season's Premier League top goalscorer, with 30 goals, and will travel to Manchester on Thursday add the finishing touches and complete a medical ahead of the proposed move.

Van Persie, who has expressed his desire to leave the Emirates Stadium after being disillusioned with Arsenal’s plans for the future, is reportedly due to sign four-year deal at Old Trafford for a fee of £24million.
A statement on Arsenal’s official website read: “Arsenal Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for the transfer of Robin van Persie to Manchester United.

"Van Persie will travel to Manchester on Thursday in order to agree personal terms and complete a medical ahead of the proposed move.

The Netherlands international is likely to spearhead a formidable attack for the Red Devils, as Wayne Rooney finished behind the 29-year-old with 27 strikes last season.

Manchester City and Italian giants Juventus were also thought to be interested in Van Persie’s signature and, if the move goes ahead, will join former Crewe youngster Nick Powell and Japan international midfielder Shinji Kagawa as Sir Alex Ferguson’s new recruits.

Edit: Robin van Persie is a douche. 7 years of sticking with him injury after injury and after one full season he stabs us in the back, he is just a snake. I hope Manchester United realise just how injury prone he is. He should pay us back in lost wages for all that crap.

And what is Gazidis playing at selling him to a Premier league rival, what an idiot, surely he should have sold him to Juventus. Robin van Persie is dead to me. He could have been held in high regard like Bergkamp but now he will forever be known as a traitorous dickhead.

£24 million for an injury prone 29 year old one hit wonder; Arsene has a knack of offloading players at just the right time. Van Persie will be just another Berbatov, I ain't even mad.

 

[Gooner4life]

Now I have calmed down, I'm happy he's gone, hopefully he is as injury prone as he was for Arsenal, and he is leaving the prime of his career. Now I think about it, I'm more upset that I am seeing Lee Dixon on ITV

I'm a United fan and I thought exactly the same thing ;d
But I still hope he would keep his great form for a year or two.

Welcome RVP

I don't like the price paid though. It's too high for a player having only 1-year contract remaining but on the other hand:

- 24 Mil. will have been the right price if he had 3-4 years remaining.

- I'm glad that United didn't missed an umpteenth transfer saga after missing on the likes of Modric, Ozil, Lucas, Martinez, Sneijder ect... Though I still believe a Left-back and midfielder was more needed that Van Persie.

- I'm glad of his partnership with Rooney. His injury issues shouldn't play much problem though as United has very secure replacements as Chicharito.

- The price may be high but it'll be quickly recovered with the shirts sales and other merchandise. I guess, that's one reason why Fergie preferred RVP over other young promising strikers - RVP got huge market re-sale value.

- Last but not least, United finally got a striker with good heading ability and proper finishing. And that what excites me the most in this transfer. Rooney and Chicha are short while Welbeck, Nani, Berbatov are terrible in header. RVP is a guy who got the potential of not wasting those delightful crosses of Valencia.

Side-note: I know Arsenal fans are pissed at him (like they are pissed after every player who depart) but I think, they should rejoice of gaining more than 20 Mil. for RVP. Still, for the playing aspect, I hope you guys don't lose Song as this may be the last nail on your coffins.

Mad?
No we aren't mad.
As you can see Podolski, Giroud, and Cazorla rip defences apart.
Couple that with Theo, Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Jack when he returns our mid field will be hard as diamonds.
The only thing that needs tending to is the back 4.

Song looks loyal to the club, but I can't say. Wenger does want Tello from Barcelona, so he will be willing to sell song for some cash + Tello. Wenger also wanted Afellay and/or Sahin. Barcelona may do a deal for either Tello/Afellay, but I hear Tello may get loaned to Liverpool. If Sahin arrives, I don't think Wenger may care if song departs.

I wouldn't say they (Arsenal) are in bad shoes. RVP only showed up last year for them. Podolski, Giroud, Cazorla, and Theo will be just fine, perhaps Tello may join or Sahin. Also Llorente is looking for a new club. He spoke to Fabregas about EPL and not to mention Cazorla may persuade him.

Yeah but Wenger is not alone in pursuing Sahin

And I don't agree with the 'RVP only showed up last year'. He has always netted goals for Arsenal. In fact, take the last 5 years stats and single-out the winning streaks that Arsenal had during seasons. In 80% of those streaks, RVP was on the field and pretty much involved. In my eyes, RVP is a consistent player (had been for some years now) but he always had an injury jinx upon him. If he wasn't injured, he would have netted 20+ goals every season.

Now, i do agree that Arsenal team aren't in such bad shoes but still, Arsenal team (no matter it's potential) resolves around a 'leader' capable of firing the attack. This has always been the case from Henry to Fab to Nasri to RVP. Right now, they have some pretty nice strikers but I'm not seeing anyone who could grab the burden of being Arsenal talisman. Walcott is inconsistent. Carzola - maybe but it depends on his adaptation. Chamberlain needs more experience. Giroud doesn't have that profile. Podolski isn't really all that young....

yosh now he will get them from the inside!

Well it seem Sahin is getting loaned out to Liverpool in a week most likely as rumour has it.

In other words after the departure of Henry/Fabregas/Nasri is when RVP got the limelight in Arsenal as he was their best player than. I can realize he was in and out of injury, but it still remains he has had roughly 2-3 good season in my eyes. He may improve, or be better in United, but who knows.

I can see Carzola filling the leader role, or maybe someone else.

United will also target him though. As will Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and others.

If we go through his stats, he had a approximate 0.5 goal rate per match in every other seasons (except last year & his first 2 seasons at Arsenal). Considering he didn't play more than 30 matches in any other season besides last year, I find it pretty good that a striker that's injured so much scores +10 goals every season.

All that to say, he's someone who always was consistent but never more in the limelight than last year. Mostly because he was no more in anyone's shadow and that he was in his most scintillating form. RVP was always a pretty simple equation for Arsenal - Fit = Consistent Goals but he was rarely fit. In short, he'll shine at United as long as he doesn't get injured. I doubt he'll flop because of others factors like adaptation, competition ect... But haters should stop wishing for him to break his leg though. That's dirty football thinking.

I'd like to see Cazorla perform in some 10 matches or so before judging if he's capable or not. For now, I maintain my stance that Arsenal has no leader currently and yeah, Song's transfer seems more and more being close to completion.

Yeah, I know they are and also Milan is in it for him too, but I highly doubt they'll get him with financial problems Italy is facing. Rodgers and Mou have a good relationship thats why I think he may go to Liverpool on a loan and he may improve, which Madrid want him back, but I'm sure they got Modric already.

If you go back and see the past 5 years he averages 33 games per season and 7.6 goals per season. I do realise the amount of goals he's scored despite being injured is impressive, but that doesn't make him consistent.

I see him doing well with United as its an actually team and a lot is going to be riding on them and him. He would do good also in City/Madrid/Barcelona all teams capable of getting the best from him. Well just see how the season turns out for him. You of all should understand that people will say all kinds of illful/nasty remarks. I would prefer people not to say it, but they will, I guess being a avid Barcelona supported I'm use to this negativity.

Well, seeing Alonso/Fabregas/Silva/Mata are or have had successful run in EPL I only hope the best for him. I think it would take more than just 10 games for him to break into Arsenal style, or more EPL maybe a season.

Mou doesn't seem to want to sell Sahin to a CL competing team. I don't really follow him on that logic though cause he exudes lots of desperation in winning that CL by following this crook strategy. For a coach that's supposedly designed to perform well in CL, that kind of desperation shouldn't be so omnipresent. Besides, Sahin is a world-class calibre player with big potential and it's saddening that he can't go to a CL club - a competition he deserves to fare in. So yeah, Liverpool seems like probable destination and he'll be great add to them but still, Sahin deserves a team that aim wins in its league; not a team who aims 6th place every season. Perhaps, my point feels to be rude especially since I'm United fan but still, that's the harsh reality of Liverpool now.

If we remove last year's brilliant season where he missed the injury train for most part, then he scored 74 goals in 150 appearances between his 3rd-7th season with Arsenal. I find that part pretty consistent. Few strikers who got so much injuries could score so many.

I don't see him doing well at Madrid/City due to accolades of stars there but that's my take. And it's a theory we won't know the truth now I guess. Speaking of Barcelona and injured striker, it's gonna be interesting how much Villa bring back on the table for Barcelona. As you know, I marked the striker positioning and finishing factor heavily this past season for Spain and Barcelona.

Yeah, Spanish player have been doing well in last years' in EPL but matter of fact, every player's adaptation system is different; so there's no definite formula. In a way, we still need to see him perform first. I just hope the Spanish youngsters didn't took a moral blow after the Olympics. Like De Gea was doing admirably well before heading to it but he dropped back to his average form in latest friendlies.

He won't be selling, but loaning they may need another midfielder in the next few years. As far as Liverpool goes, well they lost their first game 3-0, speechless.

Well, as an injured player indeed he did perform well, but well just have to wait and see how he does with United a much more successful side.

Well in the case of Madrid/city I was saying he'd be the main striker the #9, not a bench or facing competition, but your right they are speculations.

Villa...

Thats what Villa shot who just came back from injury did to Pinto wrist. I'm glad the powers there. I only hope for Villa to be on form, we need a striker desperately relying on Messi last season only got us so far and with Villa being dangerous on the pitch will put a little less defence on Messi.

The Spanish in EPL seem more entertaining, hence they stand out. When you watch La liga sure you see them, but its like something you see every game/season. In EPL not many midfielders can play the way Spanish do, they have a different flare to their game and mix it with the English football culture which stands them out. Anyways Arsenal drew their first game.
