Ohhhh Robin Van Persie – Time to come back home ?

The Move to Old Trafford !

The biggest sticking point is the manner in which Van Persie left Arsenal. His previously demi-god status with the fans had evaporated the moment he put on a Man United shirt. What we Arsenal fans should realize is that RVP made the right move in leaving Arsenal. Yes, I said that.

Van Persie was at the time 29 years old. It was probably his last chance to earn a big money contract. He must have thought, ‘Can I win the league with this Arsenal team’. The honest answer was no. Walcott, Gervinhio, Arteta, Song, Ramsey and Rosicky are all good players. Very good players. But they are not going to win you a league. Nor are they going to ensure deep progress into the Champions League.

So like any player in his position he made a very logical choice for both himself as well as his family and decided to leave Arsenal. Manchester United came in and then he shifted his career to Old Trafford. While his first year was sensational, his next two years left a lot to be desired and then moved on to Turkey.

Robin Van Persie still has it !

A few minutes of YouTube and you will quickly realize that Van Persie still has plenty to give to a Premier league side. He never had blistering space so that will not be a loss. His touch and quality of movement remains. He can still hit a mean shot and deliver great set pieces. And he would not cost you more than a few million. For me it is a no brainer.

Arsenal seems like the perfect fit too. Welbeck and Cech aside, no one has the experience of winning the Premier League at the Emirates. Van Perise could help in that aspect and the fact that he was the Captain in his last season would help.
