van Persie

[AnfieldForever]

In all fairness, a front pairing of Rooney and Van Persie is a frightening thought.

There's a joke in there somewhere

[Alex]

If he signs for them Ill be very surprised.

I'm fully expecting Arsenal to come out today and deny ever receiving a bid from Man United.

[Shanks]

BBC breakfast are reporting that Man Utd's deal for van Persie has stalled.

Ferg1e "We're not getting any breakthrough with Arsenal. It's difficult to say why they're operating this way"

Errr maybe they don't want to strengthen a rival on the cheap, perhaps...

Was also mysteriously suggested to me that #mufc have put a 2nd bid in for RVP, of £18m rising to £22m. Arsenal have denied it.

More PR bull**** from United then

Cant wait for Wenger to come out publicly and deny these "bids".

[Rich]

I reckon RvP will end up at United.

[Pablo]

I don't.

[RichC]

No chance, unless on a free

[Alex]

Man Utd have had a bid expected. What an absolute cunt.

[destinydude]

I know this is wrong of me but I hope he reignites his injury ridden career. He'll still make money but Utd will just be ****ed financially a bit.

[Alex]

I think it's a cunt of a decision from him. Arsenal have nursed him through his career, making him the player he is today, and at the first sign of a good run of form he is off.

[Chazza]

If it means they don't sign a decent CM I am all for it.

Alot of money for an injury prone 29 year old.

Official Arsenal statement:

Arsenal Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for the transfer of Robin van Persie to Manchester United.

Van Persie will travel to Manchester on Thursday in order to agree personal terms and complete a medical ahead of the proposed move.

Further updates will feature on Arsenal.com in due course.

I think he will drop into CM too be honest. Think he is tailor made for the AM role.
