Hopefully true.
Twitter blowing up I mean.

It's on the BBC ticker now.
Is that the sound of someone pouring buckets of ice water onto a roaring bridge-fire?
Nowt on BBC website, but if true, hopefully it is to maximise our position in selling him on tbf.
In case anyone missed it, the source of this particular rumour is Boris Becker.
If anyone has the inside line, it'll be him.
The idea of van Persie joining Manchester United (if the tabloids this morning are anything to go by) makes me physically sick.
:facejoke:
You dropped this: :getcoat:
bejesus have we still not sold this muppet??
The question is- who to? Only the two Manchester clubs seem remotely interested, and they'd probably be the only ones willing to pay £20mil+. Do we sell to a club in the same league, strengthening them and considerably weakening our own team at the same time?
The flip side of the join is a team abroad (Juventus). However, they're looking to cash in on the fact that van Persie only has a year left on his deal and therefore Arsenal must accept a cut price (in the region of £8mil) in a take-it-or-leave-it type deal.
Swap him for Andy Carroll ffs
AC have joined the race as they want RVP to replace Zlatan
Bidding war!!
SSN Sources: RVP definitely not going on our Far East tour, and it is his decision not to travel.
Just out of interest how much would you take for him as a minimum?
I wouldn't sell him. Unless a really stupid offer came in.
According to BBC, we have rejected a bid from Man Utd and so far 3 teams have made a bid (thought to be man city, man utd and juventus). If he really has refused to go to Asia as Sky and BBC are saying them I would definitely keep him here. We just can't keep getting bullied like this. He has a year left and he should be forced to see it through.
Reports saying we want £30m. :lol: Not gonna happen. Take £10 -£15m from Manure and take Berbatov.
But if RVP is refusing to train....that's something to be pissed off about. Somebody needs to tell him what time it and that he's still under contract. We don't have to sell him and he needs reminding of whose in charge.
Oh i am with you, stick him in the reserves and tell him to fuck himself for season, wouldn't give him a squad number and would remove him from all marketing or communications tools.
But there must be a tipping point...i think £20mil would do it. That's money back for Giroud and the Pod
Sport Trend on Twitter reporting that a failed agreement between Arsenal and RvP, has resulted in Arsenal telling Kees Vos that RvP won't be sold to an EPL club and only a club that meets the £25 mil asking price. Sport Trend also repoted that the club maintains that RvP might be forced to see out his contract.
Seems he just might be joining the rest of geriatrics, for free, over in Serie A for the 2013/14 season.
£15m minimum
Wont get anywhere near that.
We wont keep him either. The fans have turned against the **** and i know someone will say if he scores a couple, we'll be back onside with him. Bendtner has scored more than a couple and the crowd have never favoured him. Likewise Chamakh. Its only the clueless and the gullible who will love RVP again
I think we should keep the **** till his contract expires, strip him of captaincy while @ it and make his arse keep the bench polished. A few starts here and there and chip in a couple of 15 minutes off the bench - letting the **** know that the club is bigger than any one player.
RVP can stick it, brother.
What a c unt.
Nothing on Sky saying he's refused to go on tour and some reports saying we want £15m, others £30m. Media speculation. I think we've had the talks with RVP and we're now going to try and get as much as possible for him. This is going to be another long summer because we're playing the Nasri card. Wenger pulled a good card with City because he was prepared to cup tie him for the CL. We don't have the same bluff card with RVP.
In all honesty thou, I think we should sell ASAP and not try to hold out for any ridiculous asking price. The Board would be super delusional to think that RvP is some kind of hot coveted commodity that many clubs will be planting c-4 in the doors to our enroute to our Board Room to snatch him up.
After all, the **** is nearing 30, spent most of his career on the treatment bench and was a 5/6th of a season wonder and absolute sh** @ the Euros. Get £10-15mil for him and we'd have just pulled one of the biggest cons in transfer history.
