Van Persie

[Meitux]

To be even branded world class anything he has to perform on both club level & NT level with consistency .. now tell me when was the last time RVP did anything worthy for Holland in any tournament ?

just because he score some very nice goals here & there doesn't make him WC.. otherwise La Tissier was a WC player too

i didnt see holland playing good the whole euro, players like van persie or huntelaar were disappeared cause the team couldnt supply them and also van persie play 1-2 games in euro as an attacking midfielder and he is wasted there..

No , RVP was the first choice no 9 /false 9... only when he continue to fail (like the previous ones as usual ) Huntelaar was brought in
even in the WC it was the same old story even though they reached the final

I mean I'd say he's WC because I can't name 10 strikers who look better but perhaps you can't do that with La Tissier too

Cristiano Ronaldo? he has been anything but consitently world class for Portugal, is he also not world class despite scoring a few nice goals here and there?

An article Wenger wrote on the RVP situation.

Isn't it a bit weird to have your manager blogging for a tv channel?

been absent as of late..

Great pickup for ManU. I don't think they would be anywhere close to where they are now without him. Rooney as playmaker and Chicharito stealing late wins only goes so far. Van Persie is their consitent scoring threat. He will be the big key to beating Real.

If he doesn't shoot after an offside has been called...

 

[barcanuck]

Hahahha, yeah that was a harsh sending off.

The key will be the midfield and defense. They are very poor defensively this season (28 goals just in the league).

True, its why I feel Real will beat them over 2 games if they play a little decent, if they play like shit it will actually be tough.
United is capable though, I hope they pull it off.
