Transfer Saga: The Ballad of RVP

  Golden boy, Robin Van Persie has been the talk of the transfer world since the signing period began this summer.  As I have been reporting, Manchester United has emerged has the favorite to capture the Netherlands international and Arsenal skipper.  Alex Ferguson, skipped out on United's saturday night friendly win over Hannover 4-3, showing the heightened effort on his part to push the transfer through as soon as possible.

  RVP, 29, has been one of the most consistant forwards in the Barclays Premier League over the past few years.  He has showcased his talent in the European Championships, World Cup as well as in league play.  Last season he tallied 30 goals and 9 assists in EPl play, with a total of 36 in all competitions.  In an injury plagued 2010-2011 season, he recorded 18 goals and 7 assists while only making 25 appearances.  His mix of version and technical superiority would provide an excellent partnership with Untied standout Wayne Rooney and youngsters Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck.  The biggest aspect United would be gaining is his experience.  With Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes reaching the end of there decorated careers, Manchester would be adding a vital cog for the 2012-2013 title race.
