Robin van Persie | 2012-14 Performances

[kouroux]

I keep reading over the internet that "Arsenal should have sold their best player to a title rival". This signing more than before (Nasri/Clichy) shows that Arsenal have completely stopped even dreaming about winning the PL

[Gambit]

Yayyyyy!!! We won the transfer cup!!!!!

 

[redmanc]

Time to rock out with my cock out! This is quite possibly the best signing we could have made imo (short of some amazing midfield superstar) to help us win back the league.

 

[adexkola]

How much?

Piers Morgan ‏@piersmorgan
Funny, I really thought @Persie_Official was different. But he turned out to be just another mercenary, heartless, selfish little s**t.

 

[LARulz]

I honestly can't believe this. But I do honestly think 24 million is a bit too much

 

[Moston Red]

Get the feck in!!!!!!!

 

[John_Jensen]

What an utter cnut

 

[holdsteady]

feck off Fergie.

11 more million would have gotten us Andy Carroll.

That is proper value.

 

[De Selby]

I've taken Pete's laces & belt.

 

[Dobba]

Fatman & Robin.

I like how we're about to sign a genuine freekick threat just as Rooney remembers how to score them

 

[Hectic]

This is too good.

 

[kouroux]

Piers Morgan is going nuts

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Van the Man II

 

[Stretch]

I'm so excited I've spilt the lot even before I got the zipper down. Are you serious? Robin van Persie is going to play for United. Unfeckingbelievable. I feel a bit like Bert Le Clos right now

 

[Anduin]

The fear factor will definitely be back this season. Rooney, RVP, Welbeck, Hernandez, Kagawa, Nani, Valencia, Young. That's eight amazing options...

 

[Guy Incognito]

Think this is one of Wenger's biggest net spend on a player. Bought for £2.75m, sold for £24m. That's like a trophy.

 

[Bref]

MASSIVE signing, Arsenal officially a feeder club

 

[Devil may care]

Hard not to be excited about a world class striker being brought into the club, he's a superb all round footballer and will be great for us I am sure, I still hope we sign a CM before the window closes, but for now welcome RVP!

 

[mswiss]

holy shit

 

[Maciej]

This transfer is still weird.

A bit like you then Piers.

 

[OGkush]

I don't think this is what the team needs. Don't understand the logic of it.

BUT it's obvious the team and the fans need a lift, and maybe that's enough.

I'm with you on this one

 

[Ralaks]

Amazing news! Could have plenty of years left, not really reliant on pace either way.

 

[Sarni]

If he stays injury free he might well knock a 100 goals in all competitions for us by the time he retires.

 

[JustAFan]

Very happy, get the personal terms done quickly now and hopefully see RVP off the bench vs Everton to score a late goal.

 

[SCM]

To think a few days ago we had some moaning around here that we were never signing anyone else this summer as we didn't have the money and now we confirm 2 signings in the space of an afternoon. Lets hope the medical goes ok and this will have been some day indeed The only question now is are any more surprises on the way in the transfer market for us before the window closes.

This is a major statement of SAFs intent this season ahead with RVP coming in.

[KM]

Master Wayne and Robin.

 

[Art]

Today, I am genuinely happy lads.

Our perseverance has finally payed off. Today we sign Holland's best forward. Arsenal's best player.

Robin is ours.

feck yeah.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Does anyone have any Arsenal supporting friends I can borrow?

 

[Mr Anderson]

Delighted, hope he scores against Arsenal. Piers will actually breakdown.

 

[Classy Cannon]

Rooney the new Scholes circa 02/03 ;-)

 

[Sultan]

The caf has broken down!

 

[Livvie]

Someone from Peterlee just emailed MUTV:

RVP Manchester United. RIP Manchester City

 

[gza the genius]

I'll be happier if/when it's confirmed and Nani have signed an extension.

 

[acrebo]

fecking awesome signing. Quite possibly the only player we have signed in my lifetime that I have previously placed in the "if you could buy anyone (excluding the obvious two)..." bracket.

(and, yes, I understand this is my opinion and perhaps not anyone else's)

Wow, surreal.

Piers Morgan is a fecking glory-hunting wanker who picked the wrong team. He thinks United are Arsenal's main rivals FFS. Even my 18 month old daughter sees the idiocy in that comment.

 

[OB]

Kagawa.. to Rooney.. and what a pass, ROBIN VAN PERSIE scoressss.
