Might as well take the money if he isnt signing
1 good season out of 8 and hes acting all billy big bollocks
Fuck him
If he was one of the worlds best then keep him but the likes of Gomez, Huntelaar scored more last season and have done it for more than one season. Both piss on him easy. Even the Real duo of Benzema and Higuain piss on him easy.
RVP :wave:
Chim chiminey Chim chiminey
Chim chim charoo
Who needs Van Persie
When we have Giroud
Maybe you need that Caribbean holiday more than you think.
Its been a shocking summer for you what with being dreadfully wrong about Euro 2012, RVP, Nasri, Wenger etc etc
Go recharge your batteries and prepare yourself for next season where no doubt you'll continue being just as wrong
Just desperate.
Sign a fucking contract you twat.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has continued to be evasive over speculation linking the club with a move for Robin van Persie.
The Arsenal striker, who hit 37 goals in all competitions last season, has reportedly attracted interest from Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and the Premier League champions, and with the Dutchman, as yet, failing to agree new terms on a contract that expires in just 12 months’ time, speculation is rife that a big-money move to the Etihad Stadium could be imminent.
However, Mancini has acted quickly to distance himself from the conjecture, without categorically ruling out a bid for the forward.
The Italian told Sky Sports Italia: "Van Persie? He is an Arsenal player and I don't want to disrespect Wenger."
"We have four strikers and we will start the preseason in five days, it's unlikely there will be major changes in such a short time,” he added.
Then STFU
Only Gooners are allowed to disrespect Wenger
Agreed, the **** is behaving despicably tbh. If you want to leave, fine, but to drag this out for so long for his own personal benefit is taking the piss. If he said at the end of the season after meeting with Wenger and Gazidis, that "we have had talks, but I'm not convinced with the direction this club is taking, so I am looking at other options to further my career" then I'd somewhat understand that given the way the club has stagnated. However, he's really disrupting our summer now, which is unforgivable. Let's not forget that RVP has actually only had about 8 months of consistently high quality performances in his career. I don't think you can categorise him as a very good player based on that. There are a large number of strikers who have performed at a consistent level over a long period of time, even if they've never hit the sort of purple patch RVP hit last season. I'd prefer those sorts of forwards compared to flat track bullies like RVP. When it came to the crunch at Euro 2012 and he had the chance to prove to the world that he was a good player, he stank the place up, disrupted the Dutch camp and by all accounts was a poisonous influence on the camp. Good riddance to bad rubbish I say.
Good Riddance to bad rubbish? . . .Id second that. . .when are you going?

Theres 2 of us so should be ****s tbh
Finally a decent response instead of wum ones.
Pretty much agree with all of that but id regard him as a very good player. Not a World class one though.
Just hate what hes doing. He must have known first hand from last summer and previous summers how the "will he/wont he" sagas from other players have affected us and hes doing the same. Just sign of fuck off asap. He said he'd decide at the end of the season. The season ended over a month and a half ago
so hes a lying **** as well.
Tbh, he doesn't need to sign anything.
He has another year to go in the contract. This isn't ideal, but it is a far cry from the shit that has been pulled on us in the past.
Ah the "i have no reply so il use the hes being a WUM" line
Classic
Nasri did the same and hes hated on here yet RVP isnt?
And im being inconsistent? :doh:

And im being inconsistent? :doh:
Yes you are. Nasri is hated here but not by you. Oh RVP is still here, what is your point about GW being inconsistent. :coffee:
I dont think anything of Nasri be it hatred or liking him.
I understand RVP having a great season has made many on here believe hes the best player of all time blah blah blah. Its a fan thing. I used to be like that. Alas i grew up and am more mature.
So why the GTFO then? He is still here, he hasn't bad mouth the club (or fans) nor did he whore himself to other clubs.
If RVP wishes to leave, good luck to him. We understand why Nasri and TH14 (and so on) left (more money, bigger winning chances). In fact it's not RVP's fault if he thinks he must leave, it's club's fault for failing to fulfilled their promises to fans and players. :coffee:
Tbf it was sign or GTFO
Last thing we need is a captain who isnt committed.
Who said he isn't? You assumed he is holding the club to the ransom but you dont know. By all means, when he actually leave you can mock him as much as you want. Till then, show some support to the players, it might convinced them to stay and see that this is actually a great club with great fans. :coffee:
Arsenal have turned down a 10 million euros (£8 million) offer from Juventus for Dutch striker Robin van Persie, according to reports in Italy.
The 28-year-old, who scored 36 goals in all competitions for the Gunners last season, is a target of Juventus, Manchester City and Paris St Germain.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juve will have to up their bid to acquire Van Persie after their first offer to secure the Netherlands international was rejected by the Premier League club.
Van Persie has been linked with a move away from Emirates Stadium this summer with his current contract expiring in 12 months' time.
Arsenal have already secured deals for France striker Olivier Giroud and Germany forward Lukas Podolski.
...
£8m? :lol:
When he played, Rvp was consistently one of the most productive players in the Premiership. Taken on a per game basis his record stood comparison with any of his contempories. In fact, the figures suggested that, were he ever to put a full season together, he would be better than any of them. Though dubious at the time this season has proved that prediction to be spot on. He's hit a purple patch in fitness, that's all, because with regards to his performance level his patch has always been purple.
On 11 April 2012...[Rvp] became only the second player to score against 17 different Premier League opponents in a single campaign.Quote:

Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has rejected any possibility of the club selling star striker Robin van Persie.
Manchester City are reported to be heavily interested in the Dutch forward, who has only one year left on his Gunners contract.
However, the Emirates Stadium chairman has revealed that there has been no offers tabled for the Premier League's top goalscorer, nor would the club be interested in entertaining any bids.
“As far as I am aware nobody has made any offer for him and he is away so we are not in any dialogue at all,” Hill-Wood told reporters.
“We're not in the remotest bit interested in selling him.”
Reports suggest the 28-year-old Van Persie, who endured a disappointing Euro 2012 with Netherlands, is stalling on a £130,000-per-week deal.
Real Madrid and Barcelona have also been linked with the Arsenal man, but City are reportedly leading the queue for his signature, having already made contact with agent Kees Vos.
Manager Arsene Wenger also seemed to rule Van Persie out of a possible move to Juventus after denouncing the "low-level" nature of Italian football in comparison to the Premier League.
Hill-Wood's previous admission that Arsenal wouldn't break the bank to keep Van Persie in north London appeared to fuel yet more speculation, but the English champions' are also pursuing a similar stance.
Hes gone

ARSENE WENGER has vowed to do everything in his power to keep Robin van Persie at Arsenal.
The Dutch striker, 28, is entering into the final year of his contract at the Emirates and has been heavily linked with a move away from the club.
Manchester City and Juventus are both hot on the heels of prolific forward, who finished top scorer in the Premier League last season with 30 goals.
Gunners boss Wenger said: “We want to keep Robin van Persie at all costs — because we depend on him offensively.
“I have always supported him even in the hardest times, and I hope he will end his career at Arsenal.”
Wenger wants Van Persie to link up with summer signings Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud in a devastating three-pronged attack.
Giroud did not enjoy the best tournaments at Euro 2012 with France but comes off the back of a terrific season in Ligue 1, where his 21 goals helped Montpellier to the title.
Wenger added: “I have known Olivier Giroud for some time.
“The first time I saw him, I found he had something intelligent and dangerous. I always said he could score goals and assist his partners.
“Our game is based on co-operation between the players in the offensive phase and he will integrate easily.
“I don’t like simple goalscorers, they must also add to the collective. He is good in the air which is rare. He is quite complete and has a great room for improvement.”
So hes looking to play all 3?
Slip a fiver in his back pocket and he'll be only too happy to sell.
So we're not interested in selling him apparently despite him heading for the last year of his contract? Can't see it myself, if he doesn't sign I don't see PHW and co watching money go down the pan when it could be in their back pockets.
