van Persie sold to Man United

Nela

Where did you hear that Vermaelen rumour?

Captain

Get these stale players the fuck out, they have done their jobs and it's a new dawn. I don't understand the 'issues', bloody love it.

Ray

Why the fuck did the cunt get the armband against cologne as some sort of leaving do, he better remain trophyless next season.

So that's our captain and best player to United. We've had some lows over the last few years but surely it can only go up from here.

Heard mumblimgs that vermaelen fell out with rvp earlier in the summer and weren't speaking. Also that song's been a right dick of late and wenger had enough

i won't even fall for that trying to make a hero out of vermaelen because he allegedly fell out with that cretin because as soon as barca want him verm will be gone too.

if i were a united fan (perish the thought) i would be copying the arsenal rvp banners and displaying them at their shithole of dreams when we go there.

It's not a low. Blessing; you'll see...

Have to say, £24 million for a 29-year-old player who's made of sacks of shit stacked on a pair of glass legs is daylight robbery. I can't believe United paid that much for him.

It's as low as low can possibly be. I told my Manc brother 2 days ago that for me it would be the final straw and "if Wenger sells Van Persie to United then I'm finished with Arsenal until there is a new owner and a new manager."

He told me of course I wouldn't be, and he was right of course. It's devastating, but in many ways I actually feel quite relieved. We've had 7 years of let downs in what seemed like a bottomless pit, but we have finally reached the bottom. There's no way it gets worse than selling your captain to United so I'm looking forward to things getting better from now.

I'm also thankful that Wenger and the board went out and signed replacements early and also that this is done earlybefore the season. So we don't have to wait until 31st August when we're 17th in the league for anything to get done. Really does feel like a new era and a completely new team now.

Coombs

He'll get injured and lose what little athletic ability he had, and he'll only be put on to close out games they are already winning.

y va marquer

He'll be a mental wreck and his hair will fall out.
Bald by Christmas.

tazmania

Fuck it. I'm already over it. It's not like we even need to scramble for a replacement as usual. We've already replaced him and anyone extra would be a bonus.

I have this weird feeling that someone else is on the way out but i'm confident we're still in the market for at least a couple more players.

Sirius

Naively thought he was different. He speaks so well in interviews, and seems very aware of everything. Fooled me...

If he has another injury free season he'll end up top scorer in the PL no problems. A trophy is almost a given. Fuck.

squallkid

I'm not over it.

Fuck him for breaking my heart.

It is understood Van Persie was encouraged by the arrivals of Germany forward Lukas Podolski, France striker Olivier Giroud and Spain midfielder Cazorla - to the point where he was open to the idea of staying with or without a new contract.

But Wenger pulled him aside shortly before Sunday's friendly victory over Cologne, told him he would be sold if a deal could be reached and informed the Dutchman he was no longer part of his plans

I hope adult Arsenal fans will now stop choosing favourites and believing that certain players are "different" or love the club.

Support Arsenal Football Club. That is it.

Good on you, Arsene.

Timbob

Hmm...Good on Arsene if we actually come out of this a better team, which requires more investment in the next 2 weeks. Otherwise it's a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

So Arsenal never offered a contract?

YounGunner

BBC are saying we decided to sell Van Persie and he wasn't offered a contract when he was opened to staying. Ok thats all good and well but to fucking man utd?!
