Good article by the female writer.
Robin WUM Persie :bow:.
She's a gooner. I mean, she actually is.
:bow:
The daily star today has a picture of van Persie meeting barca officials for dinner at a hotel on mariot lane, after the wigan game.
Just been shown on SSN.
:(
Some people have however suggested that he was nearly meeting up with cesc to say hello. Not the best of times to do it though.
The Daily Star! :lol:
It's in the daily mail too.
I reckon it's perfectly innocent.
Santos tweeted;
Just sounds like some mates were in town and like RVP he went to say hello. :shrug:Quote:
Chatting with my boy @DaniAlvesD2 at Barça's hotel, good to see you pal, good luck the game tomorrow ;))
Obviously whatever RVP does now is going to be met with scrutiny, it's that time of year again.
It is, a bloke next to me was reading it on the train. The headline screams speculation about what he was up to but the article makes it clear enough he was meeting up with a few mates there :rolleyes:
I personally think he'll stay (although I always think that, to be fair) but if it looks like he's not going to sign a new contract then we need to get rid asap and buy some quality replacements (plural)
Santos is going to Barcelona?
Fuck.
Will only believe it once Pique gets involved......knows how to get his man!

RVPs as good as goneQuote:
Arsene Wenger celebrated Arsenal's first major trophy in seven years last night by promising: "There's more where that came from."
Robin Van Persie, who's bagged 27 goals already this term, fended off competition from Wayne Rooney to land the PFA Player of the Year gong at a glitzy London bash, which Wenger believes will mark the beginning of a trophy glut at the Emirates.
"I dedicate this victory to the fans. It's an amazing achievement for Arsenal Football Club and everyone in the team, who sacrificed their own goal tally so that Robin could win this fantastic trophy," he said.
"Being the Player of the Year can only increase Van Persie's value if we sell him," Wenger added. "We stand to make a tidy profit and that is sure to please our supporters, who often argue that they value a healthy balance sheet over success on the pitch."
Despite being linked with a summer move to Barcelona or Real Madrid, however, Wenger believes the club's historic season - in which they ensured no titles or cups could be won as early as February - may persuade the Dutchman to stay put.
"I've already made it clear that finishing fourth will be like winning a trophy," boasted the Frenchman, "but if we finish third we'll get even more prize money, which we will definitely spend this summer on assembling a team that could possibly, maybe, win the title at some point in the next century. Potentially."
:lol:
As far as Wenger parody's go, that is as well yknow fucking shit.
http://twitter.com/#!/wengerknowsbest 's the best around atm at what he does.
I could see RVP going to city. Joining nasri and their long list of expensive strikers. I feel the reason we've had a decent season is because RVP has stayed fit.
No chance he would go to Citeh, none, nada, zip, didley.
Juve, Meelan, Milan, Barca and Real are different though
Barca are under pressure to make a big trophy signing after their relatively disappointing season - particularly with a new manager in post.
he would be a fool to go to spain.
italy would suit him perfectly. a slower game that allows you to be a bit more physical - plus he would be the star man at someone like juve, rather than just another one at the two spanish clubs
It's all a moo point as he'll be staying anyway.
he'll be off
We'll we should find out in a few weeks whats happening with him.
not sure he'd go for a lot though.
I'm staying optimistic on this one and saying 'he's staying' but the club needs to do a lot more than give him a blank cheque.........
I've always wondered whether players actually want their clubs to sign top players in their general position. Podolski is a striker - sure he can play outwide but his main job is finding the net. If we bought a bunch of quality defenders and midfielders, I'm sure Rvp would be pleased. How much the podolski signing helps, I don't know. If RVP has a big ego (and a lot of footballers do) I think he'd be happier if his importance to the team wasn't cut by half.I'm not saying don't buy strikers. The club obviously needs a couple more. But I'm not sure it helps Van Persie. Writing a blank cheque is very much the way to go to keep him at the club.
I guess the counter argument is that if top players were truly happy being the big fish in the small pond, they wouldn't keep leaving us. I do think though that Van Persie is happy in his comfort zone being the main man at the club. I get the feeling he enjoys being the captain. I think Barca, now, will be after him - and so will others. But he will be smart enough to realise that he hasn't got many years at the top level. He can't make the same impact anywhere else that he has made at Arsenal. Deciding to stay for another 5 years, cementing his place as an Arsenal legend is probably the way to go....providing, as I say, Arsen can match the salaries that Barca, Milan etc. will offer. I do think his age will put some clubs off.
