It's a myth. The Germans have put up with Europe for a long time now, for instance.

We haven't sold this **** yet?
SSN saying that 'sources' claim that he has said he would prefer utd over citeh but he is demanding £200k pw.
If this is true I would rather we stick him in the reserves for a year and let him leave on a free tbh. He'll be nearer to 32 then.
If RVP really wants to move to United there's no way Fergie will sign him as their top earner with Rooney, he's not a mug.
I'd just get rid of him ASAP get as much money as we can and then watch him get back to the normal Van-Persie on the treatment table for 6 months :)
If the only options are strengthening one of the Manc teams then we definitely are not in the position of cutting off our nose to spite our face if he rots with us and puts off strengthening them for a year
Balls in our court and if we sell to City or Manure, then the money we get needs to spent this summer strengthening the team. I'd be pissed if we sold to our rivals and then banker flyer profits. We might as well have just sold to Juve onside accepted their bid in that case. Doesn't matter that the fee is low. No point in talking about the greed in football and then selling him to our rivals because they bid the most. Whore behaviour on the clubs part if we let that happen.
^Yeah.
Selling Van Persie to our direct rivals would be unforgivable really. Imagine a Rooney Van Persie striking partnership? Fucking hell.
Some would say Manc clubs arent our direct rivals
And some would be right
1st City
2nd United
3rd Arsenal
Our rivals, idiot.
