Robin’s Kingdom For £10m a Season

Robin Van Persie could have been the king but he wants to be just a servant or a mercenary

Sort of

Robin Van Persie is the alpha dog in Arsenal, the main man, the franchise player, the legend, the rightful heir to his hero Dennis Bergkamp, the fans’ favorite, the legend.

In Manchester United he’ll be Wayne Rooney’s servant or just another Berbatov. In Manchester City he’ll be a soldier in a foreignl legion. In Juventus he’ll be just a mercenary.

So, Robin’s agent Kees Vos says he’ll get £195,000 a week in wages in Juventus, Manchester City or United but it’s not as if he was offered peanuts by Arsenal.

Arsenal offered Robin Van Persie at least £23m for three years, either way he’ll be a very rich man.

At Arsenal he had a chance to be a rich king.

    May be he wanted to win trophies or be a part of winning.

    c’mon he aint sayin anything so you’re criticizing him…maybe he doesn’t agree with the board’s way of running the club.
    although i’d love him to become another bergkamp but do know that bergkamp and henry also stayed because they were winning titles then.
    as soon as henry realized that the board was changing its policies and were not able to win champions league he also left.
    i do believe that the way kroenke and hill-wood run the club is not correct.
