I think this is just specualtion. Van Persie is TOO expensive even at £15m! And what's more, we don't need him!!! He is a fantastic player and would definitely add to the fire power but we have bigger problems - Central Mid Field. Man United has more than enough strikers and that is why a world class striker - Berba - has been confined to the bench!

And where would Van Persie play anyway? Lone striker [Where he excels]? I don't think so! No way Rooney is warming up the bench! Behind the striker? I don't think so. He doesn't play very well there! That is custom made for Kagawa who would now have to warm the bench - not likely!

I hope this money will be spent in the mid field. Why should Man U fianance Arsenal's operations? Let them keep Van Persie if they want. They can convince him to sign a new contract or lose him for free at the end of the season but £22m and £220,000/= for a 29 year old is TOO rich - unless he pulls a Giggs!!!

This is the worst transfer that Wenger has ever agreed to. It will come to bite the Gunners big! The devils have just been handed the title in silver plater, just imagine Rooney and RVP gosh what a goof!

But yenyewe he has some nerve. Kwenda Man U tena? Huyu atatupiwa kichwa ya nguruwe when he comes back to The Emirates Stadium kama Figo vile alifanywa!!!

We do not need another striker although there are reports that Arsenal have made a bid for Llorente. I've always said that Podolski has almost identical skills to RVP plus he's much stronger, that was clear last weekend against Koln. I'm certain we are still in the market for more players, hopefully Sahin will join soon. All the best to RVP let Man Utd worry about his medical fees now. Soon it will be Podolski scores when he wants!

I still wonder why Fergie is not addressing the bigger problems in the team, quick shocking. RVP gone and for a very good fee for a 29yr old with a suspect injury record. Hope man u get value for money at least for 2 yrs..new era for gunners.

Taz apparently Sahin is going on loan to Liverpool.
So our best bet is Wenger to sign Llorente

After his medical, expected to make his return after 12months. Someone has been conned 24m

This is the best deal Wenger has had in decades. He has conned Man U outright. Was SAF in his right senses 24m surely. Anyway time will tell.

Robin Van Persie has failed a medical at Manchester United. He has a severely damaged back after carrying a full squad last season.

UONGO

But seriously what was Van persie thinking... He will just be another Tores at Old Tranford.... Expectations will be high and he will not be able to meet them. Even Kemboi has learnt something from Drogba...You quit to something a bit different when you are on top of your game. He is expected to play on Monday and score goals...Wacha tuone...Rooney will be there to frustrate him!

@ Maichblack......In Sahin's case it has nothing to do with the player's development, Mourinho used to work with Rodgers at Chelsea so he just wants to pass on a favour to his old friend. Sahin wants Arsenal because he thinks our style of play suits him better and also wants CL football, anyway lets see how the story unfolds.
