Van Persie out till mid-October...

[Inchpräctice]

He should also retire from international football, or at least for now. He doesn't get much game time as it is so he should be using the games he does get to repay his faith in his club, who pay his wages.

Absolutely he should.
Apart from anything else, they're never going to get to the final again, they play him in a stupid position and give him f**k all service so what will he miss?

EVERY time he plays for Holland he gets injured.

I think a 6 month intensive rehab program while fit would do him good.

Get him fit, say he can't play anymore, 6 months to build up his weak areas, come back, if he still can't stay fit, sell him.

You say sell him but I'm not sure who would risk buying him. I really do think it's got to the point where you should make a deal with another club and let him go for free to get him off the wage bill. A deal along the lines of 'free until he's played 50 games' or something. Then depending how quick he played 50 games, determines how much the transfer would be.

I have to agree with a lot of posts here. I love RVP, he is a fantastic player but he is an injured player that plays for a few weeks every few months.

I am sure Citeh would offer at least £25 million, or we will swap him for Adebayor

50 games? so we will never get a transfer fee then.

I'd never want to see RvP to leave the club, no matter if he's injured 3/4s of the year.

Clubs take stupid risks on injury prone players, Liverpool did when they bought Aquilani and Man U bought Hargreaves when they must have known he had recurring tendinitis. I could see Inter Milan buying him

Wait what? May I ask the reasoning behind that logic? He gets payed a lot, money that could go to some unknown French player I might add, what use would he be if he played 3/4 of the season?

Mid October... ah man! This guy's just so unlucky!

I just want to know if Arsenal's medical staff have taken a real good look at him. There were a few theories floating about on Rosicky's hamstring injuries until they took a proper look at realised his tendon was infact detatched!

Maybe RVP has a neutritional deficiency, giving him weak bones... and muscles, and tendons... and ligaments

[FrustratedGooner]

how does he do it? can someone please give this boy some milk serisoly....

[Gunflash]

Is anyone really surprised? I'm not.

Chavster had a theory before, that since van Persie converted to Islam he couldn't eat bacon and thats what is effing him up.

I've suddenly had a craving for Bacon...

Weird...
