AC Milan have Arsenal star Van Persie in their sights
A small tidbit in The Guardian’s Wednesday rumor mill could ruffle a few feathers, as it links Arsenal star Robin Van Persie with a reunion with Mathieu Flamini at AC Milan.
Van Persie was briefly in the transfer rumors in the summer when he voiced his frustrations about Arsenal’s wage structure hurting their ability to bring in and keep big names. He was linked with Inter Milan and Juventus, but neither of those rumors produced anything concrete.
The Dutch international does have 18 months left on his current contract, but he’s set to sign a new one that will more than double his current salary and tie him to the club for the next several seasons.
Not only does this little tidbit come when he’s about to sign a new deal, but the oft-injured Van Persie has been healthy and in top form thus far this season, scoring seven goals in 11 starts. Besides, while AC Milan could offer a nice salary, and playing alongside the likes of Ronaldinho and Kaka would be an honor, he has a great situation at Arsenal right now. When you’re playing well, healthy, and about to be quite wealthy, you should be pretty content.
Do you think that’s there any chance Van Persie could leave for AC Milan? How well would he fit in with the likes of Ronaldinho and Kaka?
if he goes, were screwed. has the potential to be the best striker in the world
Good, he’s overrated and Hollywood. It’s a shame Adebaywhore can’t go with him and we can bring in some more prolific strikers.
He’s absolutely NOT overrated! I hope he’ll stay with the Gunners. They need him and there he can play every game. That’s what a player like him should do, play as often as you can!
I think he should stay especially now that he is fit and scoring goals. He could be one of the top scorers in this league. Adebayor should be PAID to leave! He lacks seriousness as a first choice striker.
I am coming from Holland, and i watch every game of Arsenal and the Netherlands. I follow van Persie since he is 16 years, and I am a big big fan of him. He is the best dutch players since Marco van Basten. Everyone in Holland loves van Persie and we call him the new God! Everyone in Holland agrees that Robin is our best player. He is absolutely fabolous!!!! COME ON ROBIN ROBIN IS GOD!
We don’t call him the new god in holland , he is just a good player.
We call Danny a Moron! MORON! how the hell can u call a football player god, you idiot. They kick against a ball and they are good at it, we love it but I sure don’t worship it.
DANNY U R Insane!!
Van Persie is a very good player but not the best!!
And certainly not the best since Van Basten
I think that more people agree that Players like Sneijder and van der Vaart probably are our best players because their heads aren’t swollen by their ego!!and they ALWAYS give a 100% for their team.
And that’s why they play in Madrid.
I feel that Van Persie doesn’t do that everytime he steps onto the Pitch.
But to get back on-topic:
Probably the best move for Robin to go Milan because he’l go up in wages.
And he will play with some of the greatest players in the world.
Another factor could be te change to Italy much better weather.
I think he should stay in London. I’m also from Holland and I notice that the premiership is the best competition of the world. If Robin stays he has probably more chance to be a top strike then when he goes to AC Milan. And besides why would you leave the greatest club of the world?
Van Persie is a very talented player, but I agree with Sandman he is not consistent. To maitain a first team place its very difficult. AC Milan play in a very peculiar formation and ost instance with one centre forward and the other attacking place are taken by Kaka and Ronaldhino. Anyway I wish the kad goodluck and for the sake of Gunners supporters I hope he remains even thu I am an AC Milan Supporter.
i heard he signed a new contract til 2012.
I think Van Persie is the best type for striker.For the Ducthman player,he is the best striker forever for my catagory.
