Bendtner on RVP departure : “It doesn’t affect me. Even if all Arsenal’s strikers left it wouldn’t affect me. I’m going anyway.”
 
I thought terms were agreed ages ago, to be honest. Seems to be the way things are done. There was certainly lots of talk in the papers, in every article about the transfer, that RvP had already agreed terms.

It's all about the medical now, and just dotting the i's and crossing the t's.
 
I don't understand how we can announce the transfer before agreeing personal terms. You have to assume we already agreed terms. Otherwise it gives a tremendous amount of bargaining power to his agent.

"Oh you don't want to give me an extra 4m? OK then we're off. Good luck explaining to everyone why you already announced the deal."

I haven't followed it much today but have we not just said a fee has been agreed? If not, I can assume that terms were already agreed. But I will become a hermit if this does not go through

Bendtner on the LHC: "It doesn't bother me, I found the higgs-boson years ago."

I was expecting him to go on to say it doesn't affect him because he's better then them all anyway :lol:
 
We'll have definitely agreed personal terms. In order to avoid accusations of tapping up, though, we have to go through the pretence of agreeing a fee with the club first - before being allowed to talk to the player.

Makes sense.

VERMAELEN: But who will keep me company in the treatment room?
RVP: Not me, I'll be keeping Anderson, Cleverley and the ghosht of Hargreavesh company.
KOMPANY: Hehe... it'sh a pun, right? Guysh? You know, 'company'? My name is Kompany.

*awkward pause*

RVP: You hev the tulipsh in Belgium?

We Belgians do not suffer from the sh- speaking disorder.

Yeah, definitely. I guess it happens all the time... interested club contacts the player's agent whether he would be interested in a move... if he isn't why even bother talking to the current club of the player. I'm pretty sure as Pogue said we've already agreed everything and are going through the paperwork again... which might take some time. I'm not worried, Fergie would not talk about selecting him for Monday if he wasn't practically our player.
 
That fecking joke. fecking feck feckity fecking feck. I'm going to go mental. Twitter, Facebook and here as well.
 
For some reason I felt sorry for Vermaelen watching that...what a crappy way to find out your friend and teammate has left.

I don't think we will hear that much more about the RVP transfer until much later tonight or tomorrow morning.
I'm pretty sure he knew before that... Just that he probably wasnt prepared to talk about it and didnt know it had been confirmed.
 
Anyone see Fabregas' twitter? Seems like it's written by a young naive boy.

Example:

Cesc Fàbregas Soler ‏@cesc4offical

Opened the paper this morning to see Van Persie in a Man United kit. I actually feel sick.
 
What is he saying?

The reporter tells him that RVP is going to United (or something to that effect), Vermaelen says "true?", reporter confirms that it says so on the websites of Arsenal and United... I think he says that he's disappointed after that, and that van Persie has given his all to the club, but I'm not entirely sure - I don't speak Dutch.

The facial expression says a lot, though.

Is that his official site? Hate him even more now.

Well obviously he knew of the rumors regarding RVP to United, but IMO he genuinely did seem slightly shocked and upset that the transfer appears to have actually gone through.

His reaction to the news is rather strange though as in this thread there is a photo of Kompany, Vermaelen and Van Persie talking together during the match earlier, perhaps Van Persie didn't mention it to him then...

Anyway, enough of that rubbish and speculation, I'm looking forward to announcement that he has passed his medical! :devil: (fingers crossed!)
 
I'm still not convinced this is exactly what is needed this season for United.

RVP had what 8 seasons at Arsenal and nearly every season, except for last year he spent an awful lot of that time injured. :(

It seems an awful lot of money for someone whose 29. :(

Hope Wellbeck and Hernandez will be happy warming benches this season. :(
