http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 urges Arsenal to spend big – Premier League Update
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 forward and Dutch international, Robin Van Persie has gone on to state that the Gunners should try and spend over the top to buy some of the best players out there. The forward feels that a price of twenty five million pounds is something the team
shouldn’t even think twice over, since in the modern game, that is just a normal price to pay.
Arsene Wenger has proven over the course of his career with the Gunners, that he is a manager who doesn’t like spending big. The manager has almost always tried to find the cheap way out in the transfer market. However, Wenger insists that the team need
to spend big, in order to land decent players.
In a recent interview, Van Persie was asked if Arsenal should go on to spend as much as twenty five million pounds to signing a player. In response to that question, the forward responded by stating: “Why not?
“These days, proper players cost money. Sometimes you see players go for loads of money and you think, 'Is he that good?' It needs to be seen. Most of the time, they are.”
However, the player then went on to further elaborate on the big signings and how they actually take place:
“But the main thing is it’s not just a label, 'multi-million pound signing', it’s more about the quality. If you buy a player who’s got one year left normally he’s not going to be worth 40 or 50 million, he’ll be a bit less.”
“So it’s not really that you get a clear picture of how good someone is when you play a lot. It depends on loads of things.”
The forward then went on to add some advice on how investments were also crucial for a team to be able to sign the big names.
Nonetheless, it seems like a bold move for the striker to come forth and make these claims. However, his words could mean one of two things. Firstly the player could actually be hinting at the team to go on and make a big name signing, in order to resolve
their problem areas. On the other hand, the player could actually be hinting at the fact that the Gunners are actually set to make a big name signing.

All in all, it is now a wait to see whether there was more to Van Persie’s comments.
