RVP has just posted this pic on Twitter... I'm suspicious.

Evenin all. Robin has just posted this photo on his Twitter saying "Dinner with great company! #Sushi"

Now, as soon I opened the link, honest to God, I instantly became drawn to the geezer in the middle. Why? Because, I believe he was a member of the Citeh delegates at the game last Sunday. I'm convinced it's him. Here's a screen grab, of said man, from last Sunday. Now, I may be be wrong, I may be bein paranoid. But, if it is him, what does that say to you? Why is our Captain havin dinner with a member of the Citeh ownership?

Pretty damning evidence if you ask me.

Does appear to be the same man.

Thing is RVP hasn't denied that he is considering his options. In fact he basically admitted that he and his agent (and what a absolutely wanker Darren Dein is by the way) are looking at their offers

Not going to lie, i'll find it difficult to muster any support for us next season if we lose Van Persie.

Surely he's not stupid enough to post a picture from such a meeting on twitter? What would be the point?! That would have a massive effect on morale at such an important time!

Suspicious indeed...

Someone with blogging rights get an article on the goonersworld blog asap including the pic lucifer posted. Would be massive for the forum if we posted this first!

Someone asked RVP "who's the old dude in the middle?". Not sure if that was just a flippant question or because that person themselves thinks yer man is one of the Citeh lot. The 1st guy is Kees Vos, who works for SEG, a management agency that represents Robin. Gawd knows how the meetin occurred and what was said, but I dare bet City are tryin to tap him up. Without doubt.

I still don't get why he'd post the pic if that was the case?!

This.

If City were genuinely tapping him up it would all be done in secret not publicly on Twatter.

No way RVP is that stupid.

Ulterior motive otherwise. Show yourself with the enemy, classic move for more money.

Even after Nasri I don't like to be that cynical.

He's just posted a picture from the same evening.

The plot thickens....

I'd love if this was true, our best chance of keeping RVP.

If City got convicted for tapping up, they could face a transfer ban

Yeah, you'd think it unlikely, but we don't know exactly what position that man holds at Citeh. When we went 1 up on Sunday, the cameras focused on the Citeh delegates and he was sat 1 away from the City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, the public face of the group that owns Citeh. Well, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, is the one I recognise and I'd never seen the two geezers before.

P'raps Robin doesn't expect anybody would recognise the fella, p'raps he's a bit thick or p'raps he just doesn't give a monkeys. But like I said previously, the guy on the left is from Robin's agents/management company. He tweeted about the meetin, too. I imagine Citeh offered Robin obscene wages and offered SEG (the management company) and an effin ludicrous payment to secure Robin's services. So, Robin will have them in his earhole now goin "It's time to move Robin. City are the takin over... bla, bla, bla."
