Van Persie

[Pogi]

He's supported Arsenal since he was a kid, and is very passionate about the club. Someone like him would be more inclined to stay through the good times and bad, and fight to win things for the club instead of win things for himself.

Gunners thru and thru.

6th richest club in the fuken world and we cant even afford to keep our world class players let alone buying new ones.

Wenger - Van Persie moves like Messi

By Richard Clarke

Arsène Wenger believes Robin van Persie has positional sense akin to Lionel Messi.

On Saturday, the Dutchman bagged a brace against Bolton at Emirates Stadium – making it 26 goals in 31 games for Arsenal in 2011 and a century for the Club overall.

When he arrived from Feyenoord in May 2004, Van Persie was a left winger or second striker. These days he is employed as a lone frontman. But, according to his manager, the 28-year-old is not a traditional centre forward and the boss likens his movement to probably the best player on the planet.

“I see similarities, positional-wise, with Messi,” said Wenger.

“He likes to come deep and he likes to turn up, up front. Don't make me make a comparison with Messi but it is just that positional-wise he is not really like the real centre forward.

“When you look at his movement around the box it is very intelligent because he goes on the diagonal runs very well.

“He has a short backlift for his size and I always thought that because his first touch is so good in a small space he can make a difference. “

Good that Wenger said that, otherwise you know what to expect "OMG Wengerzzz gone mad" BS.

Scored his 100th Arsenal goal yesterday. Brilliant player, and finally hitting world class form. Just look at his stats in 2011

Club & Country: 31 goals in 35 appearances

please stay fit! And I hope he signs a new contract too, even though he only ever dreamed of playing for two clubs when he was young (Arsenal, and I'm not saying who the other club is )

Who's the other club?

I love RvP...If he goes I'll be so gutted, more so than any other player that's left before. He said in the program though that he's bought a new house in London and he's committed so here's hoping, he's Arsenal through and through

 

[Aryagorn]

Although I did call Cesc Fabregas a mercenery, to suit my arguements, one can understand his desire to leave Arsenal for Barcelona.
But if RvP plays a similar stunt I'd never be able to forgive him. Arsenal, being a top club, did a lot for him by not signing an able forward to fill the 'main striker' berth that RvP kept on emptying because of his frequent injuries. There can't be any excuse for him to demand a transfr from Arsenal. I hope he sticks to his latest statements that he is committed for Arsenal

And very good display today

estel is coming out of the closet with his lust for cesc, who would've known
