BREAKING: Man Utd agree £24m deal to sign Robin van Persie from Arsenal. 4-yr deal, terms & medical in next 48 hours #bbcfootball #afc #mufc
Please don't fail the medical.

And Arsenal have gotten a great price for 29 year old with injury problems.

Not sure how to feel. The man is class and will bring loads of goals, but perhaps not the wisest place to strengthen.

Poor Berba/Hernandez.

£24 million for a 29 year old? Hmm. 4 year deal will have his best year, but his wages will be extortionate as well.

Sigh, no midfielder. Fuck it, I'm doing a Clegg and being a moany bastard.

IF Sahin does sign for us, Arsenal Mania will go into meltdown. Just been linked to a post saying how good they're going to be if they get Sahin and Van Persie stays...

Formidable duo to be sure. Can't imagine Marwood will prevent Mancini from splashing the cash on De Rossi now. Desperately need some defensive cover.

How the hell did Wenger managed to get 24m for a 29y/o with 1 year left that publicly announced he wanted to leave and was not going to renew... now get Llorente for 17-20

Well, there's nothing the club can do if Martínez wants to leave and someone pays the release clause. That's why I said the other day after the conference it was a little suspicious they didn't mentioned Javi at all...

Yea that's true. The reaction of the crowd is going to be there anyway. And Martinez all along never once saying he wants to leave. So yeah.. nothing on the Bilbao press yet last I checked.

Yeah it's an absurd price. But he's such a quality player that... I don't know. I'm trying to be optimistic, but we won't get a midfielder now.
