Wenger is about to do deal on Van Persie £15m with Javier Hernández coming the other way - Brilliant!

If only

I don't really rate hernandez.


BgdGooner

It's happening. Welcome to old Trafford rvp

I think now you have a bit of time off school you should play with your x box.

Chicharito is bob, Van Persie wont go United, no chance.

Football Manager may accept this, reality won't.

F-off hes never going to mans***e united

Disgusting.. cant believe he's got the nerve to go to another english team, will lose what respect i had for him if this is true. man utd are direct competetor's with us in the top four

SAF loves Hernandez too much for that, don't see it happening esp. With age, injury potential etc.,

Cheer's robin.. can you please give me back the couple hundred quid for the shirts ive bought with your name on the back? hope you enjoy living up north. hope your kids grow up with divvy accent's

Wouldn't say its brilliant. Hernandez has a good first season but last season he didn't have the same impact

Tom the Gooner

I can't see this happening. United will sell Berbatov, and to bring in RVP by swapping Hernandes doesn't make sense. In Hernandes, they have a young proven goal poacher, who has the potential to get better. If RVP goes to united, it won't be with Hernandes going the opposite way.

Don't believe this rumour. {Ed035's Note - finally someone with sense, this rumor is ridiculous

I doubt it, if rvp goes there then he is more of a mercenary a*s than adebayor and nasri put together. i really don't like man city because of the way they bully wiv cash and over pay mediocre players just so that no-one else can hav them, but i really hate man utd more and so should every other true gooner, think van nistelrooy/red nose/howard webb and many other t***s that hav plied their trade there.

But why would he go there ?

Man U are on the way down, Wenger is finally spending, I just don't get it

I remember Sheringham going there for medals and he got his timing perfect.

Just don't think RVP is making a the same perfect move.

Gonner spooner

Nope. Never. Gonna. Happen.
Arsene doesn't do swaps. He has very specific requirements, and someone elses cast offs do not figure in his thinking.
Kickemon

I love people who post stuff like this:

"Disgusting.. cant believe he's got the nerve to go to another english team"

"Cheer's robin.. can you please give me back the couple hundred quid for the shirts ive bought with your name on the back? "

You're getting your knickers in a twist over a rumour that has been invented by a friendless, mentally-challenged wind-up merchant.

Stop believing everything you read on this site, 99% of it is nonsense created by people with no connection to reality.

Stezza.

Eds,
If you admit this is a ridiculous rumour, then why post it to begin with? {Ed027's Note - its still someones rumour

This is complete and utter nonsense- yes rvp may well end up at utd (god forbid), but certainly with no player coming the other way and especially not hernandez.

As a united fan chicha won't be leaving if he was going to leave we would have cashed in last summer when Madrid were interested.

This rumour is completely silly

Think this would make a lot of sense - would be the 'fox in the box' AW been looking for long long time. I will boo RVP when next at Emirates.

This isnt as odd as it sounds, I heard this some time ago.

Wenger is hopeful that with the signings of cazorla and season long loan of sahin which are set to be confirmed in next 48 hours they will only need 1 more big signing to convince RVP to stay at arsenal

If signing Cazorla, Sahin, Pods and Giroud cant convince him to stay....nothing will. Its just obviously about money then.

Marty

Excellent news if true mate, forget about van persie, he obv didn't give a s**t about the club just money, don't want people like that in our club tbh... buzzin about the new season now. C'mon u gunners!!!!

CheetahChaz97

Let Rvp go after the loyalty the clubs shown him through his continuous injury concerns and he has shown none in return am looking forward to seeing the back of him just remember this has been his best season and don't expect him to have another like it he'll be injured again soon enough

Rvp only want the dosh now hes not interested in football anymore get him off the team

Sadly i agree with all the above,i thought he was different but in the end he is after the cash and i think we are right to not sell unless our terms are met, we will be fine without him anyway, much better players have the arsenal and we always come good.I am very positive about the coming season and with a good start think we could possibly challenge
regarding cazorla and sahin,dont think it will happen

This makes me laugh, if he signs a new contract and belts in a load of goals this will never b bought up to again, respect if he made the club sign some talent lol

Stories in the papers today he prefers going to Man Utd United with wages around £220k same as shrek. Doubt united will be willing to give him that much.

Why are you all hating on RVP so much?
He has not said once that he wants to leave he has just stated what all us gooners have been saying for years that AFC are showing no ambition and he will not sign a new contract as to put the s***s up the board so they buy some quality players and show some bo!ocks!
I can personally see him signing a new contract if Cazorla and another quality player is signed as he loves the club and does not want to settle for 4th or 3rd every season and we all feel the same.
The poor bloke has not won any medals whilst playing for us and he is getting to the last 3 or 4 years of his playing career and it would be a waist to have been at AFC 12 years and not win sod all so just think you would feel?
I think he has made AFC board buy some world class players with his comments so we should thank him as he does not want to leave, he just wants Arsenal to challenge and win some trophys.

Deano

Listen Rvp is a part ofvlong list of arsenal players that may have left and yet we are still competitive...I am not interested in. Convincing ...do some of you suffer from self esteem issues that you wouldnt consider the fact that no player is bigger than a club. I am personally pleased with some of the transfer signings and dealings we are trying to make but it shouldn't be about trying to convince Rvp! He is not god nor has has he been consistent over the past 5 seasonst ...I am more concerned with us showing ambition for ourselves ....long life Afc

I some what agree with deano and hope it is right. Wenger has to realise that to win things top class players have to be signed not top class in a few years.

DD

I hope deano's right.

^^^. AW and AFC wouldn't dictate there transfer targets and potential signings on what a arsenal "could of been legend" says!

You bang on Deano, well said, was a bit annoyed at him myself, but you make it sound ok thanks

All He Wanted Was More Money Than Arsenal Were Willing To Pay (130k) He Knew Arsenal Were Going To Spend This Summer And He Saw Who We Had Bought He Is Bang Out Of Order For Posting Such Things On The Internet How Have We Shown No Ambition When We Agreed To Sign To Players Before The Window Opened One Of Which Is A German International With 101 Caps And Is On 100k A Week. Ask Yourself What Effect His Comments Will Have On Current Players And Future Signings Get Your Heads Out Of Players Arse' And Support Your Club

I am astounded with all this talk of the club not having ambition. I am even more astounded when I hear of RVP stating it as a reason for not wanting to sign a new contract - but I will get to that in a minute.

When will people realise the effect of the stadium on the clubs finances? Every year AFC pay £15 million in interest on loans on the stadium and as we know the loan is not interest only so we must be paying a large sum of the principle too, calculated guess would say another 10 million minimum. That's 25 million per year which we have to find over and above the wages and overheads. 25 million that will eventually go in the war chest every year. The fact that we are still competing is a marvel for which we have to thank AW for. To say we have no ambition just because we don't spend like Man City or Man utd or Chelsea or even liverpool and the spuds for that matter is plainly ridiculous. Do we reallly think that AFC don't have the ambition to win anything? I read on a post a couple of weeks ago that the board are taking money out of the club instead of spending on players ... what a load of cr*p. Its easy to think all we have to do is spend big and we will win, but hte reality is that is not the way it works! Many of us would have ambition to live in a big house and go on several holidays a year, and we could if we get a massive unsustainable mortgage and as many credit cards as we could get our hands on, but we are all sensible enough to know that we would risk bankruptcy if we did. And yet that is what we expect AFC to do every day on these sites.

As for RVP, he has been with us for 8 years seven of which he was on the treatment table or just making up the numbers. Now don't get me wrong I think he is a fantastic player if he gets a run as he did last season. But was he on the pitch by himself? apart from the goal against the spuds when he went around 3 or 4 of thier players, I don't remember him taking on entire oppositions to score all of his goals. Is he the only player we have on the books that can finish? Unfortunately we live in a world where players will manipulate situations for thier own gain. And that is all this is. He wants more money (and thats good for him) but to suggest he is leaving because Arsenal don't share his ambition? Well as somebody previously said he only has maybe 4 or 5 more years to go, and we've seen in scotland portsmouth etc what can happen if clubs only look at the next few years.

Rant over, and sorry if this is disjointed in the way it reads.

celtic defensive midfielder wanyama is being scouted by arsenal, man u and southampton.

Anyone else thinks Eisfeld deserves to be in the first team..? I've been really impressed with his development.. what's your opinion Ed?
♚Jeff

Both Aneke and Eisfeld have looked impressive in pre-season. They have the technical ability and also seem very calm and self-assured.

With Wilshere and Rosicky being injured I think they'll be in with a chance of featuring for the first team.

Stezza.

I wouldn't so much say I 'want to see him in the first team' in the sense that we pick him over better players, but like I said yday to me he looks like an on-form Ramsey which is very exciting. I hope we see him step this year, but I wouldn't to not make signings and have him as starter or anything.

Zar

Yes. he's saved arsenal 2 times in pre season

What are you basing your opinion on jeff?

Paul - Rochester

Of course they do, they have played the Arsenal way for 12 months or more, why spend millions on getting a so called superstar being paid stupid money

It makes sense at this stage to remember they are just prospects, because we have had good success wth youngsters we shouldnt put unnecessary pressure on them, they sure seem hungry and eager to impress though and i would prefer someone willing to run themselves through a brick wall rather than another overpaid player. keep em young and hungry then reward them when they deserve it.....pre season is just about fitness....but it is good to see talented young players we may be able to call upon....Eisfield I think we should be honest and say we were disappointed to hear we were getting from Dortmund....after all we were expecting super mario...but he may turn out to be a better player if he gets the gametime.

Because Superstars Win Titles

Yes. kid will be awesome, get him intergrated asap! next season we may not need, eriksen or gotze as he is similar in style and in quality! definately will be on par with them and at half a million.. what a deal. nail him down to a long term contract too.

Paul.. he just reminds me alot of a pre superstar Iniesta when I used to watch him. he has an eye for a pass ..and has clever movement considering he hasn't had first team football. in a year or so you will see what I'm talking about. and as we've seen he has an eye for goal too.

He is a great talent but we have to wait for the right time, if wenger send him to first team now hemight crush under the pressure, so lets leae this to wenger

I would give him a year out on loan and see how he gets on.. If he does well i would MOLED the team around him ( I dont care if hes 17 +) and Wilshere , to-b honest i see him as a ideal replacement for Cesc Fabregas..
he cost us £420.000 BARGAIN!

Carloza set to go to arsenal for 23 mill

23! no way. 17 mil more realistic

17 mill

Arsenal won't pay that much. He'd have to be Gotze for us to pay that much.

23m euros, not £s. Which is around £18m

23mil euros

29 Jul 2012 00:58:28
Arsenal bid for 23 million euros for Cazorla and is deemed to be acceptable. The owners of Malaga have put in some money but not enough to clear all the debts and the club are still in a precarious position.
Paul Belfast

Where did u get thIs from

They only bid 17 mill

29 Jul 2012 21:07:18
bid went in late last night for 23 million euros. Also heard the owner of Malaga is considering selling the club. Team is currently in Venezula without Carozla
