Van Persie saga, officially not extending contract.

I too have my doubts regarding Neymar, he's great here, but here players have lots of room to think. In europe, is a different business. He won't leave anyways, he already said he'll run his contract down with Santos till 2014.

Holland is pretty much out so we should get more answers soon.

Van Persie for £ 30 Million, no surprize there. Wonder how much they will get for Walcott :-P

SELL RVP!!

Post by Step »

I am actually being serious.

His chances converted to opportunities given is poor.

He seems to need 5/6 clear chances to take 1 or 2.

The last home game V Norwich was proof. He should have had 5 that day and ended up with 2 and that really should have cost us 3rd place.

Tonight V Portugal he was presented with a clear one on one chance with 10 mins to go and didn't even trouble the keeper. Not good enough for a world class striker. If you give Messy 4 clear chances he invariably takes 2 if not 3.

Added to this is his age and the liklihood of a return to his former poor injury record.

If he wants to go let him and lets cash in while we can. The team needs a major freshen up.

Total goals: 34 (30+4) -> shots per goal 5,70

PL+CL, Rooney

Total goals: 29 (27+2) -> shots per goal 5,93

Ok we all know we have some misguided fans so ignore above post.

Mvilla want to come to Arsenal but we are unwilling to spend the 17 Million it would take to secure his signing. Walcott is leaving and so is Van Persie.
Giroud is a good signing but really Arsenal FC are on a fast train to nowhere thats why the players want out.

One of my colleagues Son's play for the Arsenal academy with RVP's boy and he reckons he would stake his house on RVP staying. Looks like he may be homeless soon :lol:
