capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Indeed, was Wenger not the one who said "I would take 15 years of consistent CL qualification with no trophies"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Despite the competition and threat to his place, Rooney wanted RVP there and relishes the competition and now knows he has to up his game even more.Hopefully Torres will have the same attitude IF we sign Cavani.Rooney's position is under not threat though. Him & Van Persie are multi-dimensional forwards, one will play behind the other, Torres is an orthodox 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah, Rooney will play as the second striker, almost as an attacking midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lampy 110 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 RVP = Rarely Validifies Price. HAHAHA! GO EVERTON ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Maybe he'll be the new Torres, knowing that Rooney is really their main man. Van Persie was a LW tho in his early days, maybe he will be that again for Utd but i think he has proved that he really is a striker now. Let's see how Fergie gets those 2 firing together like Carlo tried getting Drogba and Torres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Van Persie out for rest of season after Ferguson shouted at him22-08-12ROBIN Van Persie is expected to be out for at least nine months after some very loud shouting by Sir Alex Ferguson.Van Persie will not travel without his Emotional Support BunnyThe new Manchester United star is convalescing in Holland where trained soothers are giving him a temple massage with spa water infused with essence of tulip.Following United’s defeat to Everton, Van Persie was horrified to discover that his new manager used very nasty swear words and spoke in an aggressive tone.Minutes later, psychiatric nurses were called to the dressing room and Van Persie was removed in a wheel chair, sobbing uncontrollably as a wet patch spread rapidly over his groin.The Dutch star said: “Such awful words. And he threw a cup. No one has ever spoken to me like that – not my mother, my teacher, my pastor and certainly not Mr Wenger.“My parents were artists in Rotterdam, When I was 14 and some rough girls teased me about my bow legs I ran weeping to my mother. She said to ignore them, that I had been granted twinkle toes by the angels and I was destined to dance through life, free of all horridness. But now this beastly man…”When he first joined Feyenoord, Van Persie’s mother issued him with a note, passed on in turn to Arsene Wenger, stating that he had ‘delicate bones, delicate ligaments, delicate hamstrings and especially, delicate nerves – he is my delicate little fairy artist boy’.But the note never reached Old Trafford and may have been lost along with Van Persie’s cotton wool padded romper suit.Sir Alex said: “I thought I was pretty mild – I just called him a ‘useless wee bucket of fuck’.“He started crying so I said to him, ‘harden up, it’s not as if you’re living in Glasgow’. Then he said, ‘what’s Glasgow?’ and so I told him and he started crying again.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary gordon 1,777 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 A lot of teams will park the bus against Man U this year, including us.. With RVP, Rooney and the likes all on the field at the same time, you would be dumb not to. This will not suit Van Persie. Most of his goals last season came in open play.

Laylabelle 9,534 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Did help in a way Arsenal were pretty crap last year and seemed scared to try and score..hence it always being passed to Van Persie..not to take anything away he is a great player most the time just a bit hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
