We raped them guys, this is a panic buy from them.
Plus he had already started falling off, hes looked toliet since about march, looked spent. Hes run his race as a world class striker. We good.
The day Van Persie publicly showed his discontent at Arsenal was the day Wenger substituted the Ox against Utd when we;d just got ourselves level....at the time we just thought Van Persie was a 'fan' like us, voicing his discontent...but sadly we were mistaken...think that was the day he decided he wouldn't be signing a new contract. If Walcott signs his contract now, the timing will make him look like a hero...wonder if that will happen. Last season the fans turned on Wenger...I am pretty sure that money will be reinvested...we now only have 3 strikers remember and I am not even sure we can count chamakh as the 3rd.

Doesn't necessarily need another striker but if we don't strengthen our attacking options with both rvp and song out then wenger has learnt nothing and we may as well not bother with this season. Buy wisely and I still think this could be a very interesting year for us.
i hope that mirallas(sp) to everton story is garbage and we snap him up. Forget van persie now, we need all the cancers out of the club before we can heal...Fuck Em all....If you want out get out!!
To be honest I reckon he knew that day at West Brom he was off. "Whatever happens I will always love this club", not the words of someone who is interested in committing.
why is everyone blaming Van Persie for this?.....footballers are children with just about enough intelligence to tie their shoe laces.....when very stupid people constantly have people whispering in their ear telling them how great they are, how they should be earning more, playing in champions league finals they are going to listen.
This board have a) allowed this situation to come to pass by allowing wenger to deal with contract negotiations
b) shown they are more interested in getting in as much cash as possible instead of letting this player run down his contract and maybe win something with us, with the additions we have made.
