Good Bye RVP!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is it worth keeping RVP on for one more season, as in, let him run down his contract?

I know we'd lose out on a transfer fee (with no guarantee we'd do anything with it) and we could have an unhappy player but by the same token, we'd save what £5 million a year by not dishing out a new contract and with the possibility of having a similar season to the one just gone.

I'm asking this under no consideration of whether RVP actually wants to go or not by the way, purely about the benefit of the team/club.

[Marc Overmars]

It would be quite galling to lose him on a free, I know there isn't a guarantee we'd do anything with the cash but I do feel like we sell to buy, so in that case we could probably do with the cash if we want to see a replacement.

I'm not as against it as I was with Nasri though. I think he was more valuable because he was younger and also it was pretty clear from the start he was haggling for a move and had no interest in sticking around. We had to get rid ASAP.

RVP is older, the captain and far more mature than Nasri. I think he'd be quite professional about it and still put in the performances. You never know, he could even decide to sign a new deal next summer if we have a good season.

I know the point was about what the club would do and not about van persie, but I think van persie will definitely sign a new deal or leave. He knows how injury prone he is. Half a season on the sidelines and his chance for a big contract is gone. His stock will never be higher than it is now.

[server too busy!]

Why not do what we did with Henry, get him to sign a new contract on the proviso he can leave the following year if he still wants to.

ROBIN VAN PERSIE admits Juventus are a great team but is refusing to discuss his future.

The Arsenal striker’s contract is up at the end of next season with the Italian champions and Manchester City ready to offer him a lucrative move away from the Emirates.

But the Dutchman is refusing to shed any light on whether he will pen a new deal with the Gunners and is instead focusing on Holland's Euro 2012 campaign.

Van Persie, 28, said: “My future? I have agreed with Arsenal not to discuss it.

“I can only talk of my intention to play in the Euros and win it and then continue to win in the Champions League.

“Juventus? They are a great team, for sure.”

Van Persie netted twice in Holland's 6-0 drubbing of Northern Ireland on Saturday.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Our future is very much tied to him whether or not he stays or doesnt because until we get a decision our hands are tied as to who we can bring in

[Cripps_orig]

Which is why it should be sorted asap

Wenger, Gazidis, PHW and whoever needs to get in contact with the **** and give him a deadline

[Japan Shaking All Over]

It needs to be sorted but wont till after the Euros which is when we are going to have to wait for till we bring in anyone
