ManU caught Robin from Arsenal


Manchester United Welcome Robin Van Persie

I wish RVP good luck at his new club. I personally admire his humility and some of his player qualities.

Most fans are distraught at him leaving but,at least Arsenal are better prepared than last season when they waited for the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri to leave before realising it was too late to fix up the squad. This time they are better prepared with signings like Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud to be followed by the new creative talent, Santi Cazorla.

Van Persie is arguably a great player but he is getting old for arsenal who prefer young talent and £23m for an injury prone 29 year old player is quite a fair deal.

The fans have foreseen this over the past three months but they still cant digest the reality of it, in my opinion he might be missed but they might just get on fine without him. Although some would have preferred if he was sold to a less direct rival like a foreign club – just not in the Premier league.

Well, Reports show that Wayne Rooney is happy and welcomes the idea of RVP imagine the partnership with each individual scoring over 30 goals last season . Now Robin can end his drought of winning no trophies in 7 years.

Who is worthy of being crowned captain now that RVP is gone?
