English Premier League heavy weight, Manchester United have completed the signing of Robin Van Persie from Arsenal on a four year deal contract worth £24 Million (£200,000 per week)
The addition of the Dutch man to United strike force is no doubt a boost for the club owing to the qualities he possesses. He scored 30 goals for Arsenal last season and am sure he needs no further introduction as to his capabilities.
ESPN Soccernet.com reports that, Van Persie, 29, ends an eight-year association with the Gunners after growing frustrated with the club's direction, having won only the Community Shield and the FA Cup during his time in North London.
Obviously, the young man wants to win trophies and this is the right time for him to make such a move. The major reason he refused to sign a new contract with Arsenal. For some frustrated fans who might not have wnated RVP to go, it is greed, for realist; ambition.
Business-wise, Arsenal FC have pocketed a fortune from this deal just like every other top class player that has left for greener pasture.
For fans and supporters of Manchester United, hurray! Let the fun begin and hope it continues, that is, if the player stays fit and replicate his last season form. For Arsenal faithfuls, it's time to move on as usual.
