Would rather we had signed 1-2 CMs before even looking at a striker. Berbatov hasn't even left yet. What are we gonna start playing 4-1-5 now?

Dunno, just seems a decidedly odd transfer. Good player obviously, but not what we needed and question marks on fitness. He will expect to play every game, as will rooney, meaning Welbeck and Hernandez feeding off scraps, not to mention Kagawa.


The only way I can justify this is if we were going to see a surprise departure of Rooney or Hernandez
This pretty much sums up my feelings. Great signing for everyone's inner transfer muppet, but not convinced of it's value. £24m for a 29 year old who's had just one great season that has not been ruined by injury...

Not happy that we've signed him to be honest, its going to have a negative effect on welbeck and most of all the guys a cnut as we've all said on here many the time. He also has no love for the club.

I'll support him all the same though

Whenever I hear fans whether they be United fans or fans of another club complaining when a player leaves their team for another club, calling them mercenaries or stuff like that, I always wonder how they feel about players that their club signs from other clubs.

But hey being a supporter means being allowed to turn a blind eye once in a while.

I think Adabayour (sp?) was bought for about £300k and sold for about £25m.

But enough about that!

Great news, just hope he stays fit enough to justify his price tag, his quality is not in question just his fitness. I don't have much faith in a United Medical....

Poor Arsenal, abandon ship! har har har

Do Arsenal fans not realise that without RVP's goals they wouldn't have been in the CL or possible even the Europa League. This puts massive pressure on Podolski and Giroud.

With all your bullshit in the transfer forum, you don't deserve it. :mad:
:confused: It worked didn't it? Oldest trick in the book

1) Post bullshit in the transfer forum
2) SAF comes on the caf
3) Buys Van Persie

24 Million will be incentives related if the figure is even true.

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

:lol:

Absolutely amazing news!! How can any United fan not be seriously excited with this signing?

Welbeck will still get plenty of games ffs.

The money came from CR's/IPO's sale.. or something along those lines.

I can see your rep points going down with posts like that.

How many players do you think love their clubs? As long as he does his best, and develops a respect for the club, we can't ask for any more.

I still reckon City might have a last ditch punt for him. Hopefully the reason they haven't so far is that he only wants to go to us.

Buzzing really.

Those complaining that this will mean less game time need to bear in mind SAF has always stated how important he feels it is to have 4 top strikers at the club. Now we certainly have that.

Bit steep a fee I think, but shows we're not afraid to spend money of SAF feels the right player is available.
