It’s been confirmed.
Sir Alex said this on MUTV: “Arsenal have given it out we’ve made a bid for Robin van Persie. We have tried to keep it as close to a moment that we could conclude a deal.”
So, do we need him?
If we sell Dimitar Berbatov and loan Federico Macheda out I think we do need another striker, on the other hand signing van Persie would limit other players chances like Javier Hernandez, Danny Welbeck, Shini Kagawa and Ashley Young.
We all know RVP is a quality player, but his injury record is shocking. And paying quoted £20-25 million for him would be insane.
Cons:
– No re-sell value
– Would require massive wage packet
– Limits young players’ chances
– Extremely injury prone
– Had his first good season for Arsenal last season
Pros:
– Proven goalscorer in the Premier League
– Experienced player
– Great signing if we could get him for £15 million
– Could tear defenses apart with Wayne Rooney
– Can lead the line alone or play in the hole
My verdict: We should sign him if we get him for under £20million. I wouldn’t hold my breath though, I think he’ll sign for Manchester City.
