Arsenal’s manager, Arsene Wenger has gone on to reveal that the team has not yet received any offers for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380, but admitted that he wants to finalize his future before it’s too late.
The Gunners boss was asked about the future of the Dutch striker after his team’s pre season game against Manchester City, but those questions seemed to infuriate the manager.
The Frenchman insisted that he doesn’t know what is going on, but admitted that no team had actually gone on to make a bid for the forward.
"The Van Persie case doesn’t cross my mind," Wenger told the assembled press. "We have had no offers. He is close to fitness, of course, but we have not had any contact about him at all.”
"We will not come back forever on Van Persie, We have many strikers at home. Van Persie is one of them, but we also have [Lukas] Podolski and [Olivier] Giroud.”
"For now, we must prepare for the season and it is about more than one player."
The manager was then repeatedly asked about the potential bids that could have been made/ will be made for the forward. Wenger then went on to display a rather different side to himself, where he actually started to fume and display anger towards the questions
that were being asked of him.
"We have talked about Van Persie," he fumed. "We have just played a football game tonight, there are four English people here and there have been four questions about Van Persie.”
"I have talked about that, I am not talking about that question anymore. Do you understand?
"If you understand and respect what I said, then why do you ask me again?"
The way things are going, it seems like Wenger really has no idea over what is happening and the fact that he can’t control the situation seems to finally be getting to the manager.
Nonetheless, it is now a wait to see what the future holds for Van Persie and if he ends up leaving the Emirates in the summer transfer window or not.
