The Arsenal manager saw his reinforced team comfortably beat Koln 4-0 yesterday, and in his post-match comments he was obviously asked what the latest news on the transfer of Robin Van Persie.
Last week Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that Man United had made a bid for the Arsenal captain, but had been told that the Gunners were in negotiations with other teams, but acccording to Wenger he doesn’t want the Dutchman to go anywhere at all.
“There’s no news on van Persie,” Wenger said. “Our fans want him to stay so you can understand they are excited. Anything I could say about van Persie would be a lie because he’s our player and that’s it.
“Robin scored 30 goals last season and you want to keep your best player. He was player of the year in England. We want to keep him. I cannot tell you more at the moment because I don’t know more.
“We have not bought the players to replace van Persie, but to strengthen our squad with the thinking van Persie will stay. That’s still my mind at the moment.”
The scenario I could see is that Wenger has put a high price on RVP and refuses to sell below that price, as well as not wanting to sell to a Premiership side. If that is true then it would seem that Van Persie could very easily still be at Arsenal on September 1st, despite the boos from the Arsenal supporters yesterday….
