Robin Van Persie is set to complete a 24 million pounds move to Manchester United after Arsene Wenger sanctioned the sale of Arsenal captain to Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.The only good news is that the saga is finally over and we can move on now.
For the past month there has been confusion,outrageous bids and one clear message-that the Dutch forward is on his way out.He made it clear to Arsene Wenger that he would not be extending his contract at Arsenal and saw his future elsewhere.Where his future lay was a mystery as Wenger had a set amount for him which drew attention of many top clubs like Manchester United,Manchester City,Lyon,Real Madrid,Paris Saint Germain and Juventus.United,City and Juventus were looking the top contenders and Juventus seemed to be leading the race.
After all the drama the result is in front of us.Robin Van Persie is set to join United on a 4 year contract which will offer him 200,000 pounds a week after the fees of 24 million pounds has been agreed.The reason which he gave us is that Arsenal lack ambition or that our ambition doesn't match with his.If that was the case then he should have stayed since we bought 3 world class players(Podolski,Giroud and Cazorla).These 3 signings speaks volumes of our ambition to win trophies.Now isn't he just another player who kisses the badge and then leaves the club.Here is a list of the injuries he had during his time at Arsenal.
Van Persie has been injured for almost every season and has been absent for long spells from our ranks.Very few managers will have the patience and keep faith in such an injury prone player and will try to offload the player after a good season.Arsene Wenger always stood by him throughout his injuries and he was always our no. 1 striker after departure of Henry.And this is how he is repaying our love and faith by moving to our fiercest rivals' home.Out of all the clubs he chose our title rivals Manchester United.No wonder Arsenal have lost a quality player but the fact that we have lost him to our English rivals worries me.
The capture of Van Persie is regarded as a major coup by Ferguson and senior figures at Old Trafford,who regard the signing as a response to City's recent dominance in the transfer market and a sign of club's ambition to recapture the premier league title.Many professionals have been quick to praise Ferguson for his managerial shrewdness once again.But I can tell you Ferguson will only have him until he continues his rich vein of form.He by no means is Arsene Wenger to stand by him through all his injuries.
They say they have both Batman(Wayne Rooney) and Robin now but we have our Verminator.All the best Robin for your career at Old Trafford which by no means can be as good as you had here and you will soon realize it when we finish above United this season and maybe throw a trophy or two in your face.
