SRL88 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I am surprised that Man Utd are willing to pay £20m+ for a 29yo who is in the last year of his contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe__the__man Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Surprised? I'm appalled. Now you know how it feels to be a Chelsea fan for the past 8 years, resentment towards wasting money and the feeling that it could be invested so much better whilst every other United fan is ecstatic about the signing. I'm guessing that's how you're feeling. I'm really surprised Chelsea weren't in for him (assuming they weren't) as it's exactly the sort of rash transfer they usually make.

Cleon Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Shocked to see Man Utd buying RVP. Especially as they got rid of Saha for been injury prone, yet in the last 3 seasons he's played in 83 Prem games. 4 more than RVP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtuck01 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I was expecting more of a rant from you Tom, or are you to stunned? I'm not stunned, in actual fact I thought it would happen to be honest. As good a player he is and good signing he may well turn out to be, the money could have been better spent. Now you know how it feels to be a Chelsea fan for the past 8 years, resentment towards wasting money and the feeling that it could be invested so much better whilst every other United fan is ecstatic about the signing. I'm guessing that's how you're feeling. Felt the same way when we signed Berbatov, (as much asI like him) for so much, and Ashley Young last summer to be honest.

SRL88 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 A 4 year deal for a 29yo, on £200k p/w and paying £24m is just . Really shocked that that Fergie would do that. Are you still feeling ill Tom or have you been back to work? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe__the__man Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I found it surprising as well. Think Young especially was a different signing, much lower wages and a lot younger. Berbatov wasn't as excessive either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still feeling ill Tom or have you been back to work? Oh been back at work since yesterday. Reckon it was just one of those 24 hour bugs. Regarding van Persie, and any player changing clubs, I wouldn't believe all you read about wages, fees, etc. I found it surprising as well. Think Young especially was a different signing, much lower wages and a lot younger. Berbatov wasn't as excessive either. Berbatov was just a few months off 28 when we signed him and van Persie has only just this month turned 29, so the ages aren't much a difference. Yet Berbatov, who had had less success, (in the sense that van Persie's success has come in the Champions League and in greater numbers in terms of goals), cost over £30million. The excess is around the same when weighed up against each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That video is pretty much every good thing he has done in his career I had never heard of the guy before so how else was I going to see what he was like?!?! He can be compared to Hazard to be honest, the way he plays is very similar. Tries a lot of skills, you can see that in the Youtube video, but you don't see the amount of times he messes up. Greedy player, but fun to watch! Something Liverpool need... a bit of excitement in that team of yours. Really like Heerenveen, but that is two of their best players gone this season.

gechal Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I think the rvp signing could be a very good one. It could work out this way - he has missed a lot of full seasons due to injury. The consensus last season was that he has physically matured and has managed to deal with his injuries. If that's the case, he would be a "young" 29years old, not all worn out, still fresh. Man u could get 3 or 4 top seasons out of him, and win things with him. If that happens then it has surely been a good investment. Poor old arsenal, that is one transfer that must sting. I know a fan who all summer has been saying anyone but ****ing man united. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he joined Fleetwood, which he did didn't he? That he would get kicked to ****. The FA said they'd block the transfer to Fleetwood, he'd only use it because they play more games than the rest of the footballing world and his ban would be over quicker. Probably wouldn't even play before getting sent back the ****. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
