"VAN PERSIE IS NOT A REAL STRIKER, HE IS LESS EFFICIENT"

How does that sound? The same Van Persie who has been putting up spectacular performances this season not a real striker?
Once considered to be the best player on the pitch, Legendary Dutchman Wim Van Hanegem strongly believes 28year-old Robin Van Persie is not a real No.9.

“Van Persie is one of the stars of the Premier League, scores loads of goals, and Arsenal completely depend on him. However, I don’t think he’s a real striker.

“He has been turned into a striker at Arsenal and he often stays high up the pitch for them. However, he always drops deeper in Oranje because it takes longer before he gets the ball in the national team than at Arsenal. 

“That makes him less efficient and that’s why he shouldn’t play up front for Oranje. I’d like to see Huntelaar as striker, with Van Persie behind him and Robben from the right. We can pretty much leave the left wing unoccupied.”

Whereas Ray Parlour (Arsenal Legend) believes RVP’s absence in Arsenal will ruin the club.

This Van man shouldn’t say this in a viewing center, he might be lynched. Some football fans often go haywire over such statements, trust me, the first thing they’ll trace is his achievements…..before raining all sorts

Notwitstanding, we are entitled to our opinions.

"VAN PERSIE HAS TO LEAVE ARSENAL" ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC

Speaking briefly after AC milan’s victory over Arsenal, Sweden international, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has urged Robin van Persie to leave Arsenal inorder to win more trophies. He maintained that the 28 year-old will make much impact if he transfers to another club, “For sure, Van Persie will do a fantastic job wherever he goes, and he will be a big player for whichever team he joins. But of course, if your team doesn’t win for a couple of years, inside yourself you still want to win. And if you don’t want that then I will never have you on my team, trust me!”
And on the game which saw him scoring a penalty and assisting two more goals, the lanky footballer said “it wasn’t easy, everybody says it was easy because it was 4-0. Afterwards people said they hadn’t expected it to be so easy, but if you go through the game it wasn’t easy even if it was 4-0”. He claimed

ARSENAL SHOWS INTEREST IN ROBIN VAN PERSIE'S SON

As part of plans to bind Arsenal captain, Robin van Persie to the club for a long term, Arsenal football club has shown interest in his son Shaqueel.
The five year old boy who plays football and golf for a team close to the Van Persie family home have been asked to join the youth training camp.
"I honestly have to say that he [Shaqueel] has got a lot of talent for football, I recognise a lot of stuff of myself in him. His coach is really great. Arsenal has invited him a couple of times to come and play there but he likes it at his club. He's sensitive for a good atmosphere. Just like me.
"He loves to play golf. He's taking lessons and we regularly play a round. Sometimes he beats me! He's got a great gift for where the ball has to go. My shots sometimes end up in the bush; his always go straight." Van Persie affirmed.
