the fuck??? noooo...

maybe i'm just ignorant as fuck, but for that money (around 20 mil € was the price that has been played around with as far as i know) we could've got decent holding midfielder...

I'm hearing RVP cost £24M, but that's just rumors. Supposedly Madrid bought Modric for a similar amount.

I think there is still £20-25M in the summer spending chest, Dembele could be bought for that or less no? I dunno what Witsel would cost but hopefully Madrid have filled their CM needs now and are off him. M'Villa is also out there...

Yes CM needed I totally agree.

Well, shit. Obviously a big loss for Arsenal (again), but if he didn't want to stay there's zero point keeping him around.

I just find it shitty he finally has one really solid season and now he's too big for the club? :p plus I don't think he's even worth the price-tag, 29 and fairly injury prone for £22mil or so? I dunno. Let's see if it was worth it, he now has a shitload of people who hate him so for his sake hopefully so.

The Rooney-Van Persie prospect sounds exciting though I guess.

what a hammer blow to gunners fan. Going to one of the league rivals is definitely disturbing.

Sigh, after all this year of patient for him in the treatment table really makes me gutted not to mention Wenger trust.

Instantly giving him armband despite him getting injured all the time. This is really facepalming me hard

RVP gone to Man Utd so funnys. He going put Hernadez out of the team along with Welbeck and cause problems for Fergie, that signing is official the worst he has ever made.
29 year old, 24million. One season of being good, then boom he is roting value. Crazy.

Friendly result: Sweden 0-3 Brazil. Last game at Råsunda Arena which will now be torn down. D: Brazil clearly the better team, but Sweden had some good chances. Damiao scored the first on a sick cross from Neymar, and Pato scored two late goals (one of which on penalty).

Also not a fan of the RVP signing, offense is really not where united struggle, rooney/hernandez/welbeck is not bad at all for a set of forwards, and with kagawa coming into the team in attacking midfield, it just looks like hernandez or welbeck or both are not gonna have a fun season depending on whether ferguson wants 2 up front or just one. But then, if he uses 1, which would likely be VP as a point to the attack, do you have rooney sit behind him and bench kagawa? Just doesn't make much sense to me

Kagawa can play left attacking mid. And I think RVP has played LW at Feyenoord.

An attacking 4 of Kagawa/Nani/Rooney/VP would be very fluid. However SAF does love the 442 and using traditional wingers, so we might see Rooney and RVP up top, Valencia and Nani/Young on the wings, and Carrick and Kagawa as CMs (not what I'd want but I think SAF will try this).

----------Keeper
RB----- CB CB----LB
RM------CM-------LM
---------Kagawa
-------- Rooney
----------RVP

Why cant they do something like that? It's how i think they will pan out Rooney behind RVP with Kagawa behind him or even level with him, or even just play 4-4-2 and have rooney behind the striker and Kagawa a free role

Guys there's a new type of fantasy league on the Prem website. It's like a player stock exchange. Let's make a private league for it!

Stop the massive exagerations, I am not a fan of this transfer but worst transfer ever? He bought a world class player and you haven't even seen him play for united I'm sure ferguson has a solid reason for buying him.
And saying van persie only played one good season is just bullshit.

Tbh, of all the clubs he couldve gone to United probably makes the most sense practically for RVP since he wants to leave. He slots right in, Arsenal get some decent money for a player out of contract in a season that wants to leave. Juve was probably the only better fit but no one really wants to go to Italy anymore.

Would Arsenal rather keep their best player and have him extend ? Well obviously, but it was clear that was never going to happen. A year on isnt going to convince him, because lets be realistic the chances of Arsenal performing well enough to win something with an unhappy RVP (as professional as he might be) are pretty slim.

Anyway should be some interesting memes and hate threads going around that should be pretty amusing.

What a stunner from Defoe! Amazing shot to put England ahead of Italy.

Arsenal got an amazing deal I have to say. Although I wonder if they can actually use the money to a useful purpose.
