Robin van Persie | 2012-14 Performances

[Mander]

Very good signing for you, or so I should hope. He has to prove that he isn't a season-and-a-half wonder.

I've no doubt he's worth the money, though, as long as he can stay fit. Class player.

 

[Bryan_Munich]

I still reckon City might have a last ditch punt for him. Hopefully the reason they haven't so far is that he only wants to go to us.

 

[adexkola]

This hasn't hit me yet. Feels weird.

 

[Jimy_Hills_Chin]

Poor Alistair, it actually turns out that Van Persie was 'buzzing' in training because he is getting his dream move to a big club

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

This hasn't hit me yet. Feels weird.

Same here. I've been against this signing from the outset.


But if he finds the form he did last year then feck me we have a great chance.

 

[SteveJ]

The distribution of wealth is a lot more fair than I thought.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Looking at Sky Sports Score Centre, RVP not in dutch side or on bench. On his way to Manchester?

 

[Swerny]

Do you think Berbatov and Macheda will stay?

certainly not now.

Berbs as a 4th striker was plenty...this is 24M spent on a luxury.

Anyway, we signed a top player from a major rival....score 1 for us.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Wenger's on TF1, commentating as expected. Said they had no choice but to sell RVP, and they signed his replacement already.

 

[Red Dreams]

its subject to medical.

if he does not get off the table...we wont be signing him....

 

[McLovin]

Bollocks to the disloyal cnut, he's been stinking the place out for the last month anyway. He won't work in tandem with Rooney and the greenscreens will be up before Christmas.

Enough with the objectivity Petey, give us a biased opinion!

 

[Badunk]

I just wish we had a clue about how RVP is going to fit into our system. Any of you guys got any ideas?
sarcasm, you twats

 

[RedMist99]

Robin Van Persie tra la la la la
Robin Van Persie tra la la la la la la la

 

[OGkush]

4 top strikers.

Rooney, Van Persie, Hernandez, Welbeck.

Not 5.

Berbatov will be off, and Macheda isn't a top striker.

SAF did say that he's prepared to keep him if he doesn't get a good offer for him, hope he was kidding because it'd be such a bitch move towards Berbatov, it's highly unlikely we'll get a "big" fee for him and him staying makes no sense.

And then you also have Kagawa who mostly plays as a #10, or atleast I'd hoped this is where he would continue playing, but now I just think he'll never have a fixed position, but will rather rotate as a #10, a LW and a CM.

And also, just so I put them all in, it seems that we've signed Henriquez, don't forget about Keane (injured), and Bebe (lol).

 

[SteveJ]

Wenger's on TF1, commentating as expected. Said they had no choice but to sell RVP, and they signed his replacement already.

Jesus, yesterday AW said that they hadn't signed his replacement.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Howard Nurse @howardnurse

Nothing imminent at Manchester United. Oh look, a seagull...

 

[VoetbalWizard]

biggest signing since roy keane was signed from forest or maybe since leeds and cantona.

Yes, even bigger than rio (young potential), bigger than veron (not proven in england), bigger than RvN (coming off injury, not played in a big league), bigger than yorke or andy cole.

fecking massive signing this.

i said before that rvp has 100 goals left in his boots regardless if he stayed or came here, and i stand behind that.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Wow, we can safely say we have quite a fearsome attacking lineup.

Probably the best in Europe.

 

[Sojiro]

brilliant signing, really shows our ambition for the new season.

Peter Bolton mentioned on twitter that numbers need to be registered by Friday.

 

[gaffs]

He is still in Holland. He comes to Manchester tmrw. Not too late for City to put in a bid.

 

[kouroux]

I just wish we had a clue about how RVP is going to fit into our system. Any of you guys got any ideas?
sarcasm, you twats

I think he'll play up front

 

[stretford_oslo]

This hasn't hit me yet. Feels weird.

Yup!
Very happy though

Need to change my fantasy team...

 

[stubie]

Wow, we can safely say we have quite a fearsome attacking lineup.

Probably the best in Europe.

England - Yes
Europe - No

 

[Sally Cinnamon]

We better not sing 'he scores when he wants'.

 

[Jimy_Hills_Chin]

He is still in Holland. He comes to Manchester tmrw. Not too late for City to put in a bid.

From The Guardian

Van Persie, moreover, buys heavily into United's tradition and playing style whereas he is less keen on how City have spent lavishly to accumulate under the Abu Dhabi United Group. He was receptive to the idea of going to Juventus, although he had reservations about Serie A.

 

[Hellboy]

Do you really think Mancini will kidnapp him tomorrow. It's done, enjoy it

 

[Guy Incognito]

Jesus, yesterday AW said that they hadn't signed his replacement.

Wumming the fans?

 

[Man-United]

He joins who he wants, he joins who he wants, Robbie van Persie, he joins who he wants.

 

[Zarlak]

He isn't a striker. He may be an ACM, but he isn't a striker. You can't include a player who makes do there as a top player in that position.

He's a CM/ACM who will play behind Rooney, or Van Persie, or both depending on the formation.

 

[Still ill]

Bollocks to the disloyal cnut, he's been stinking the place out for the last month anyway. He won't work in tandem with Rooney and the greenscreens will be up before Christmas.

You sentimental old bastard.

 

[RyanGoggs]

Imagine RVP feeding off the service of Kagawa, Rooney, Scholes, Valencia and Nani

 

[Swerny]

------------DDG-----------------
Jones - Vidic - Rio - Evra
Valencia - Kagawa - Carrick - Nani
------RVP-----Rooney---------

Edited...I forgot Kagawa

 

[ha_rooney]

He is still in Holland. He comes to Manchester tmrw. Not too late for City to put in a bid.

If he wanted to go to City, I think it would've happened by now. Like Henriquez, it seems RVP only wants to join us.

 

[VoetbalWizard]

simple how rvp fits.

De Gea
Valencia
Rio
Vidic
Evra
Nani
Carrick
scholes
Young
Rooney
RvP

play this for 30 out of 38 matches we have and absolutely torch teams in those 30 games. 90 pts in the bag, we are going to mount this pig of a league and feck the innards out through its nostrils.

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Well well well. Although it's seemed on the cards for the last few weeks I'm still a bit surprised that the likes of City didn't nip in.

Is the consensus that Van Persie preferred us or that City didn't want to splash out?

Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things. Cracking player and makes our strikeforce the toast of Europe.

[Steven Seagull]

Shiiiiiiiiiiit.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

.... Isn't there an England game on now?

 

[SteveJ]

Mr. Arsenal ‏@OsmanZtheGooner

Arsène also said [on TF1] RVP forced a deal to united

 

[Sojiro]

someone on twitter- Who needs Batman when we have Robin?

 

[moses]

.... Isn't there an England game on now?

Yep they're losing 1 nil.
