looks like hes staying

The Frenchman said: ‘It's really difficult to find players of the quality of Robin van Persie with one year left all around the world.

‘I think losing Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas last year was a big shock for Arsenal. For the fans, for the people who love Arsenal.

‘I think if they lose Robin van Persie this year it will be a drama. With Samir and Cesc you can say “OK, those two are gone but behind you know that there is Wilshere and Van Persie still at the club”.

‘But if Robin leaves that means next year it may be Theo Walcott, next year's going to be Wilshere, it's going to be difficult for Arsenal to keep the top players.
On the other side if they keep Robin they're going to send a positive message to all the clubs and to all the people around and I think it's really important to keep him.’

According to Vieira the only way Arsenal can get him to stay is to convince him they can end their seven-year trophy drought.


The 35-year-old added: ‘Robin wants to win trophies. He wants to win. Arsenal have to show him he can do it with Arsenal. The best way for them to get him to sign a contract is to bring players to the club who can show him that the club are in the same line as him.

‘It's really important because we know how Robin loves Arsenal that's not the question, the question is how Arsene Wenger will convince Robin they can win trophies.’

A couple more seasons of 25+ goals and people will look back on him as more than just "that one good player that used to play for us". He's 8th in our all time goalscorers list and only needs 18 goals to go up to fourth. Only Thierry Henry, Ian Wright and Cliff Bastin will have scored more goals if he stays and accomplishes that.

The lack of trophies obviously will go against him, but just be virtue of being one of the club's highest ever goalscorers people will rank him as one of the greatest players this club has ever had. In my opinion, that is, essientially, what a club legend is.

I am not insinuating that this was the only reason why RvP had a great season, and despite what recent reports in media makes you think, I want to believe that RvP is a bigger man than Ca$ri can ever hope to be. And I would say the same for Theo and Song (creative edge found when his contract was due).

My point is simply that we are being crazy idiots when we put ourselves into the one year left situations like we did last summer and burnt our season in the process. If the board did not learn their lessons then, I am really afraid of what is going to happen to this club.

"Financially the club's last offer is fine but that is not everything to me. It's about my ambitions and how they can be fulfilled in the coming years," Van Persie told the Sun.

"Arsenal have promised me they will do everything possible to make that extra step to a level where we win prizes on a regular basis," he added. "In the last four years I have only had one prize, the FA Cup, and that's not enough."
