After a summer full of speculation, we’ve finally found out where Robin van Persie will play his football next season. Subject to a medical and the agreement of personal terms, a fee of somewhere in the region of £20million is in place with United. With the 29-year old set to sign a 4 year contract. The deal is subject to a medical and the agreement of personal terms being agreed.
RVP ended up with last years Golden Boot, and Player of the Season awards andWith Juventus and City both declaring their interest in him, it’s great to see that we can still compete for top class players. As we’ve already added Shinji Kagawa (the Bundesliga player of the year) it bodes well for the new season.
Albeit a massive gamble, it certainly makes me feel much more comfortable regarding our chances for silverware this season. I fully expect him to be used in a rotation system with Welbeck though, and this probably means that Hernandez is going to have to make his impact from off the bench.
Roll on Monday night!
