Here's the picture that Arsenal fans will hate, but Man Utd fans will cherish. Robin Van Persie signs on the dotted line...haha!

Its a sad move R.I.P Arsenal

I'll miss him.

United now with RVP, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernadez(Chicharito), Danny Welbeck and Dimi Berbatov.
It is now more certain that Berba will leave, Chicharito will get less playing time, Welbeck will be our supersub and [size=16pt]Wayne Van Persie[/size] will lead most attack lines.

"We have got Chicharito, we have got Wayne, we have got Robin, we have got Danny Welbeck and we have got Kagawa. That is a fantastic combination of players. Hopefully I pick the right combinations."

In 1999, Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke started the Champions League final win over Bayern Munich, while Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came off the bench to score the goals.[size=16pt]
Van Persie is more than simply a goalscorer. Since August 2008, he has provided more assists than any other player in the Premier League.[/size]
If the title race is as close this season as it was last, one goal may be all that separates the sides.
Van Persie could yet prove the difference.

It is hard to believe that Van Persie, at the age of 29, is burnt out and will not perform as well this season, but the Gunners do have a history of selling stars right as their prime footballing years are behind them.

In the past decade, Arsenal have sold players like Thierry Henry, Alexander Hleb, Mathieu Flamini and Emmanuel Adebayor at the peak moment in their careers and none have had as much success since their move away from the club.

Henry, one of Arsenal's best players in its history, failed to match his success with the Gunners at Barcelona and moved to MLS to finish out his career after three seasons in Spain.

Hleb and Flamini were both transferred to big-name clubs and could not find any success either.

Hleb never found a permanent first-team spot with Barcelona and his now back home in Belarus playing for BATE Borisov.

Flamini has suffered the same fate in Italy, and was barely used by AC Milan last season due to a knee injury.

Adebayor still has a chance for success, but as long as he stays on the books at Manchester City, he will not be a prolific goal scorer as he sits behind Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Carlos Tevez on the depth chart.

Another trend that goes against Van Persie is the struggle of the leading scorer in the Premier League to perform better the next season.
From 2006 to 2011, only one top goal scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo, was able to crack the top 10 in goals the next season.

Didier Drogba, twice, Dimitar Berbatov, Carlos Tevez and Nicolas Anelka all experienced a drop in production.
