Robin Van Persie medical successfully completed at Bridgewater Hospital, signing autographs for fans as he left #MUFC
They bin after him for ages last couple of years and would be huge signing for them,there CM is pretty weak imo looks like de jong leaving barry is ***** rodwell still unproven and yaya leaves for african cup of nations in january.Plus we signed RVP so now they need to improve.That De Rossi rumour is on Sky Sports as well, makes you wonder as they have just signed Rodwell and also have Yaya, Barry and De Jong all there, how is Rodwell even going to get game time, he will enjoy the bench I assume.
To be honest I would be happy with Witsel although I do think there would be better alternatives to buy, for example Fellaini.
Anyone knows what wages RVP are on? Heard they are about the same or even more than Rooney's...
Doubt it'll be more than Rooney.
Be close but not more.
Might count significantly against you (FFP) although I think most EPL clubs will be fine due to the absurd increase in TV revenues
I've always been under the impression that Man Utd will be fine for the FFP. But that was mainly me being oblivious to how bad our debt really is, and the last couple of weeks of reading what people have been saying in this thread has worried me a bit.
I still think we abide by the FFP rules, just with a bit of a struggle.

Hearing reports that he is on 225k per week which means he will carry an FFP price tag of 1 million pounds more than Torres for the next 4 seasons and Torres is costing Chelsea badly.
RVP probably strengthened your team but he is costing you lot an awful lot of money.
He isnt on 225k, there isnt a player on that. Despite what is often reported Rooney isnt even on that. Also we are more than comfortable re FFP.
As I mentioned earlier FFP is not a problem for you lot. But the amount of money RVP is costing in fee and wages strengthens my argument that the money would have been better spent elsewhere instead of on a aplayer you don't really need and is going to be a big gamble anyways in regards to his injury record
He is costing considerably less than a player like Torres. And we are still looking for another player. Van Persie marks a fundamental shift in how we play, means, we will certainly be playing a fluid front three.
SAF's aim is to have 4 high class forwards, with the aim of tearing through teams while maintaining a solid base.
Not the signing i would have made, but I can see where he is going with it.
Well Torres was a massively over paid transfer... Still does not change the fact that RVP is costing you a lot
And look wherever SAF is going with this... He should have reinforced the weaker areas of the team which he has not done. LB and CM. Your relying on Carrick to remain fit throughout the season and Anderson to maintain both form and fitness.
Also RVP is an injury-prone player. At the age you are buying him, he will have no resale value. You are taking a big gamble on RVP remaining fit throughout these 4 seasons
The whole point is not to sell him. Not every player must have a resale value. And actually Cleverley will play more than Anderson.
RVP hasnt been injured for 18 months, and out dept has a significantly better record at dealing with injuries than Arsenal. And again we are still looking for another player, since we were thwarted in our bid to sign said left back.
It's not a question of should have, rather, what we would have liked to have seen.
And I'd rather see us spend the money than see him go to City.
The reason why I mentioned the resale value is that you better hope that he does not get injured and performs to the very best of his ability for the next 4 years as you have litte to no opportunity to recoup your outlay on him if he does not perform
Your looking to sign another player yes but with the signing of RVP, you are obviously restricted as to how much you can spend. Baines would have been perfect however with the reported price tag, not sure if you will go in for him. Can't think of many LBs who are better than Evra atm yet will not block the development of Fabio
Your medical department definitely has a better record of dealing with injuies than Arsenal's... Still RVP has been injured multiple times over the past 7 seasons. It is still a big worry
Look RVP transfer is a gamble. You are signing an injury-prone player for a significant amount of money and wages and hoping he performs to the very best of his abilities and does not get injured because you know he will not have much resale value for you to recoup your transfer fee. This in turn I am assuming hampers your ability to spend on areas that actually need to be reinforced (LB, CM)
Sorry, I just feel this RVP transfer is unnecessary. Would have been much more worried if you had signed Moutino/Baines for example
Thats like saying, you better hope Ivanovic doesnt get injured, or any player. How does that work?
We have no cover for Rooney who is our most vital player. Now we do.
We dropped out over Baines before Van Persie, as he costs £20m ( he would also have no resale value) Also dont need a full back better than Evra, just adequate cover.
All transfers are a gamble, You just spent £25m on a player who has yet to prove anything at the highest level, on significant wages.
Considering we still have about £15m left, it doesnt hamper us that much.
