Man City Target Van Persie To Replace Tevez

Daily Star Exclusive

*City prepare January bid for Dutchman
*Striker set to treble his wages
*Another blow for Wenger
*Exclusive

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has emerged as Roberto Mancini's primary transfer target and Manchester City are now to test calamity club Arsenal's resolve by tabling a £30m bid in the January transfer window.

Van Persie has so far refused to commit to Arsenal and this has alerted City to the situation.

An Arsenal insider last night exclusively revealed details of the sensational swoop to Daily Star Sport.

The deadly Dutchman, who scored his 100th goal for the misfiring Gunners on Saturday, will now earn £270,000 at his new club.

With Carlos Tevez out of the picture, following his refusal to be used as a substitute in the 2-0 defeat at Bayern Munich, Mancini sees van Persie as the ideal replacement.

It is yet another devastating blow for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who will now also be fearful of losing star players Theo Walcott, Thomas Vermaelen and Marouane Chamakh next summer.

Our insider also revealed - exclusively - that van Persie may be open to staying if Arsenal mount a credible title challenge. But as this passage of his revelations did not include any quotes, we are loathe to believe their validity.

Finally, we can exclusively reveal that our insider goes by the name of Joker, and he definitely doesn't have a vendetta against van Persie.

Hmm...

Paris St Germain are ready to offer Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh an exit route out of The Emirates after enduring a very frustrating time in North London.

Chamakh has failed to gain the admiration of the Arsenal faithful, in fact the internet forums are full of disgruntled fans calling him a waste of money and he was brought in on a free transfer, that should give an idea of the standing Chamakh has at the club.

Zidane tells Hazard to snub Arsenal

Initial look of the headline appears to suggests he is telling Hazard that the Arsenal is a bad move for a player of his calibre.

Then you read...

The Mirror seems to think that former French World Cup champion Zinedine Zidane, who is now part of the management staff at Real Madrid, has asked the French club to snub any offers and prepare the player to transfer to Spain’s capital at Real.

So the headline should be something like "Zidane says he wants Hazard at Real". But I guess that is not such a fun headline.

I saw that and thought the same.

Chakma if played along with another striker up front will be much more potent than on the wings. We messed his career up along with Eduardo, Vela, Bendy and very soon to be Walcott. AW clearly is a clueless bugger

Wenger messed up the others but don't think he can be blamed for Chamakh, he is truly dogshite.

Pretty much. Chamakh was quality at Bordeaux playing with a partner

Its a special Alsace recipe. Create a style of play that can only be played by the most technical players playing right on their game; refuse to spend money on the type of talent needed to make it work, and instead believe that you can bring in cut price players and play them out of position to make it work. Et 'voila' - a complete dog's dinner.

Sometimes it seems as though if you are a CM then Wenger may be able to help your game, but anywhere else you risk him fucking you up!
