Pretty much this. People saying we've missed on our big targets forget the quality of at least one of our signings, and probably forget that other big English clubs were in for Powell as well, who is very highly rated, and we still managed to pinch him.

don't let facts get in the way of a good story
Given his price and the fact that he wanted to come here and made the transfer so early, in addition to our needs, makes him a splendid signing every United fan should be happy about.
Quality signing.
We also took bebe from right under real madrids nose.
From an Arsenal board. 
He was thrown in the car boot in the version I heard.
Seems legit
From an Arsenal board.
In other words - we are going for the tried-and-tested Berbatov-approach ?
Car-based transfer fun? Surely not? Fergie out 'Arry in?
I love it when SAF busts out the transfer Bentley. Shit get's done then. Remember Berbatov getting car-jacked at Manchester airport?
More David Pleat stylee.
that's some funny shit. Wish it were true -sigh-
"To the Ϝapmobile!"
It's the 'they chased after them but lost them' bit that really makes it.
Apparently starting for Arsenal this evening.
From an Arsenal board.
Sounds legit.
Yep he is playing 45 mins according to van Gaal so that he gets picked for Holland
On the bench for Arsenal.
"Shit! I am at the wrong airport."
"To the Ϝapmobile!"
On the bench
Classic rom-com twist.
Well, it usually has a happy ending tbf.
Good move jumping out of the car from Rvp. He's got much more chance wining trophies at Arsenal.
Yeah with the unexpected guy getting the girl.
I thought so as well but I posted in on FB and an Arsenal mate of mine replied with "If this is true Persie is dead to me". He's even far from a gullible or stupid guy. Guess the possibility of RvP joining United ruins his senses a bit.
Any chance we might give them one of Welbeck / Hernandez on loan for the season to wrap up RVP ? I really wouldn't like the idea, but I heard some Arsenal fans talking about it. I'd give them Kiko

cash + Berba?
That'd be ideal and fairly logical too. 5m+Berba?
So is he coming on for the second half?
Why would Arsenal want Berba?
Cause he fits in with their playing all their attacking football just outside the box waiting to find a way to walk the ball into the net?
Cause he would be their best striker?
Cause he's fecking class?
Cos they'll need more than Podolski with RVP moving on and Berba is a quality player who would probably strive in a Berkamp/Kanu role at Arsenal.
So much for playing 45 mins, he's still on the bench after HT. If he stays there all match he's as good as gone.
Berbatov would be great in their typical posession football set-up, doubt it will happen though.
Get in there
