Went to United...

/Closed.

this transfer could easily go either good or bad

[Fulham Broadway 16,439]

Fucking disgusted.

How could L'Arse be such prostitutes. United will win the title now

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

RvP signed a 4 year contract with Man Utd.

Van Persie: "It’s an honour to sign for Manchester United. I'm looking forward to following in the footsteps of so many great strikers."

the guy is a disgrace i cant believe he signed for them! wasn't he a childhood Arsenal fan as well?

[diskoviolente 425]

Massive blow for Arsenal. First Van Persie, next one to sign off might be Alex Song. To be fair though, they´ve bought some good replacements. For some reason I can see Podolski doing well under Wenger. He seems to understand Podolskis impulsive game and his complicated ego.

It never gets boring in football, that´s for sure.

[Naked Mole Rat 437]

To be honest, I don't think this deal will make a whole lot of difference. Arsenal ship out their key players every year and still manage because other players usually step up their game (so they can be shipped out next), and from United's perspective, good addition, but I doubt he'll be a special player there.

[Melanicus 5,208]

Wenger is legend! Such a good manager... It's also good move for Arsenal... They got a lot of money & lost a one season wonder player.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

RVP is good, but he's not great.

We should be more sore about losing Didier, than they are of losing that one-season wonder. Injury problems galore.

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.

[Santiago. 1,500]

Venger's quality as a manager is truly remarkable. But he lost his winning mentality ages ago, which is needed in football today, as well as a spending budget.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Indeed, was Wenger not the one who said "I would take 15 years of consistent CL qualification with no trophies"?

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.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Yeah, Rooney will play as the second striker, almost as an attacking midfielder.

[Lampy 110]

RVP = Rarely Validifies Price. HAHAHA! GO EVERTON !

[Ollie 4,400]

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.

Man U should have bought him on yesterday.
