VAN PERSIE A HUGELY OVERRATED PLAYER

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

He is NOT world class!!!

A scorer of great goals, but not a great goalscorer.

Too inconsistent.

Slows moves down too often.

Gets into tight situations other players would avoid.

Selfish.

BUT

Certainly not suited to a one front man role in tonight's formation, not be a long shot.
Better as front striker in a 4-4-2, or even perhaps wide if Eduardo plays, who is far more clinical a finisher.

the peak of our corners with van persie was when he used to do that fancy 1-2 with fabregas so he got a different angle to swing it in.

for a player who has a magic left foot its not very often he brings it into play.

i can't remember any of his corner been quality even when cesc was helping him. Agreed that he was in a bad position tonight which points the finger at wenger again why oh why was bendtner not upfront with robin on the wing

I totally agree quartz

He"s nowhere near world class.
He has been our best striker this season Why?because the other two Greedy and Bendtner(hopeless again tonight)have been shite
RVP is not a team player he plays for RVP FC
His set pieces were dire

I have had enough of this shit.

Van Persie is absoultely an amazing player.

Gooner Sid you need to jump on a few more back before his tonight. Clearly he shouldn't be a lone striker ,that's not his game, just as Bendtner is not a left winger, Eboue a right winger, nor Song a defensive midfielder. AW picked him up there alone tonight and he ran his bollocks off without much success but fuck me there was none for him to have. He had the balls for a penner and at 1-0 down it needed to be scored, balls of fucking steel.

RVP is the mainstay of our team for years to come. Wake the fuck up will you?

Number 5 you are one of the better writers on here, so I mean you no disrespect but;

I really disagree with you about RvP, for the reasons I have stated in my above post.

Donaldo
sums it up when he says this guy plays for RvP FC.

He is not my idea of a mainstay of the team for years to come, no way.

We would be well to sell him, Adebayor and Bendtner.

Build a new strikeforce around Eduardo, Arshavin, Nasri and Walcott.

We then add in two players for the three we sell, making sure they are fast, tall and strong to give us a physical option, to complement the trickery and finesse of the others.
