It makes absolutely no sense.

A quick verification fo the stats show me Torres has scored 28 goals in 2,5 season. Van Persie has score already 23 goals in one season.

Van Persie season is already a big success. His dip in form isn't good for his stats, but he is not a flop at all. He has been amazing and one of the main reason Manchester United will be champion.

No he has been a focal point of winning the EPL this season, however hes been dry for 9 games now and its starting to worry. Its nothing if it was 3-4 games thats regular for forwards, but in this case its not anymore.

To worry who? A Chelsea fan? He just scored with Holland a superb header in the midweek.

VP had a similar dip in form with Arsenal last year. It changes very little. He is a great success unlike the mega flop Torres.

RvP will come back i assure you...Torres on the other hand has had a dip in form for the past three years now Razz

10 and counting.

@wengerknowsbest 3h

What were the footballing reasons for selling van Persie? He drops little bit physically in the second half of seasons.

Getting older, slower, his appetite for young flesh becoming ever more voracious........love it

It's the Arsenal DNA. Arsenal players are usually out of all competitions at this time of the year and therefore not used to delivering in the run-in. It's also why Fabregas is without a single goal or assist for 2 months now. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Wenger knew :bow:

Still basically won a trophy for his first half of season efforts though :bow:

Will more than likely pick up a league medal in his first season at the club having largely contributed to it.

While back at Arsenal, they're struggling in their annual race for the "4th place trophy".

Not rocket science to see who's #winning here.

It would be embarrassing for Premier league, if this shitty United team breaks the point record.

It's not though.

They put up a good enough fight to us. CR7 was just too much though :coffee:

The knee-jerk is strong with this one.

Are you going to deny that the red card wasn't the X-factor ?

by Red Alert Tue Apr 02, 2013 8:29 am

Is RvP average too? Or does the "overrated player" dip in form just apply to Michu?

Fergie should have called Moyes to ask him how to handle being a man down Proud

Anyways as for RVP the guy has never been there in the most crucial stage be it for Holland, Arsenal or United but luckily United don't rely on him for goals so they can cope. he will be 30 in augus tho :/

We pocketed a hefty bit from selling a crocked 29 year old. This time next year, he'll be 5 months shy of his 31st birthday and falling into the Giggs role of playing every now and again. And that's assuming he doesn't suffer a career ending injury between now and then Smile

by Zealous Tue Apr 02, 2013 6:40 pm

Unlike Arsenal United have actual doctors running their medical team so the risk of injury isn't likely to be that high.

Mehlous, pls

Owen Hargreaves says Manchester United treated him like a 'guinea pig

Would be better off with Dr Shipman. Or Hannibal Lecter

I can picture you with ur rvp voodoo doll wishing for his demise. Ain't gonna happen lexinator. League medal this season, maybe the cl or fa cup next season. It annoys that he is alreadya success at utd, and the fact he jumped ship as soon as his injury woes were a thing of the past Laughing

I think we can get a good 3/4 years outta him. The priceless goals he bailed us out with this season has more than just recupperated that 24 mill we gave arsenal.
