The Official 2012-13 EPL Thread

All over twitter he's off to Utd.... mind u it was with Sneijder as well...

That's true.
Still a lot of speculation, just want it sorted either way, sooner rather than later.

 

[sgt_pepper]

/\/\ but the sneijder deal never really looked like going through. this one seems almost done? im pretty sure the board would rather sell him and make some money and no one else is looking?
didnt realise hed never sold to united before, but you gotta think thats because he didnt want to sell to rivals. but hes sold out to city in recent years, so maybe his policy has changed?

 

[rishgoon]

Perhaps, but although City are obvious rivals, I still see United much differently.
Still expecting a couple more signings, so £20m+ for Van Persie would be handy

Deal looks done but I will contain myself from being completely obnoxious until it's official.

$24 million over 4 yrs.....that changes everything.....wonder how they play it. 2 strikers? Shrek in behind RVP?
Arse fans are gonna go spak over this....not known for forgiving players moving on...

RVP wants to join Liverpool, not Manure

[sgt_pepper]

so lets hope RVPs injury problems follow him to old trafford.
only worrying thing is wenger saying hes already recruited to replace him. now, i like podolski and giroud, but id think a proven epl scorer (aswell as a solid third striker) could be a good idea...?

What a stupid thing to say.

Chicharito? That's from the Daily Mirror though, so not holding my breath. Dempsey more likely, but Llorente is available as well. Would much prefer him

it was a joke. obviously i dont wish anyone harm...not that i need to wish it on RVP. it comes so naturally.
are you just nervous that it will actually follow him?

 

[ooneil]

Shit scared!

 

[ljandkg]

s*** scared!

Haha!

If RVP stays healthy and Vidic stays healthy, the way SAF gets the best out of a squad, I'd pick Man U ahead of City for the title...

Wow - he has massive hands! Bet u he can palm a ball with ease....wasted in football

 

[ooneil]

^^I must agree. I think this season comes down to who stays healthy.

 

[Diggaz TC]

It comes down to the mighty Toffees starting strong

 

[Jaames]

Mate just told me that RVP is officially a United player now, this true?

Some teams have more depth than others though, that's for sure

Not official. Close though, medical and personal terms

 

[ljandkg]

Yip... just got a medical and agree to terms. Arsenall have agreed to sell so pretty much done.

The bottom line is that I want to win trophies with Arsenal, not with anybody else. I know you can win trophies in many countries and in many ways, but I want to do that in our way and in an Arsenal shirt.
‘I’m sure I could win things at another team in another country, but would it feel like our trophy, my trophy? I’m not sure it would. Anything we win here will come from the heart and that’s what I want. It’s my dream and I see no point in speaking about other teams when I have these dreams. I think other people know that about me; I’m just hungry to win with Arsenal and that’s it – Robin van Persie, February 2011
