Imagine being a goalkeeper and seeing Van Persie getting ready for a volley,terrifying
Imagine being a woman aline at night and seeing him coming down the pavement 😱. Terrifying
Oh dude i remember i know this is gonna be retarded to say but everytime i played with a homie in fifa without fail hed pick van persie before anything wlse. And this motherfucker would score volleys like it was his signature on a bank note. And sure enough van persie would do that in real life. I apways remember him scoring these crazy first shot volleys. I still remember that diving header he made on spain the man was absolutely clutch.
Pl
His left foot is so so good. Left foot volley, trademark goal
@@virupakshawalla5734 L
He is relaxed in that Utd team because those guys would chew off their legs to win a match. During his last 2 seasons at Arsenal, I've watched enough matches to tell he was really frustrated at his teammates and Wenger. They capitulated too often when they get pushed and hustled by their opponents. Arsenal post Vieira, Bergkamp and Henry was just like the current Utd. Technically gifted players. but lacking that bit of mental fortitude and determination.
Couldn't say it better. 💯
fax
Part of the problem. He was their captain after all.
Current Utd are worse, there's not a lot of "technically gifted" players in that lot.
@@pritapp788 Ha, get ready to what's coming for us then...
RvP still has one of the best goals of all time. 2014 against Spain (Rematch) in the World Cup.
The diving header was a thing of beauty. Still have a vivid memory when I watched that game.
He was also part of Netherland’s best team to ever NOT win the World Cup.
With the exception to Cruyffs final upset against Germany
Amazing goal, but 1998 + 2002 Netherlands teams were iconic.
one of the most satisfying goal in the history of FIFA Worldcup.
but isnt netherlands best team ever to NOT win the wc the 1974 team with cruijff?
yeah that mad flop diving header is one of the best goals ive ever seen
1000% Agree. Its is a thing of beauty.
As an Arsenal fan, I am still hurt that he left. We stood by his side during all of his injuries. He gave us 1 complete season and then left the season after. Obviously we never knew what was going on behind the scenes, now I can look at the situation and understand. However, it still reminds me how sad I was when he left and join a club rival. No denying the fact that he was one of the best strikers the EPL has ever seen.
i wouldn't say United were direct rivals to Arsenal at that time. United went head to head with City in the title chase
it was the time when i have truly become fans, after 1 year of being a true fans... he left... what a shite time to be an arsenal fans...
but nowdays, its good
we lack the striker like RvP himself, but we're good
when he was on the bench nursing injuriesfor almost 7years , no one complained, he should never say anything about the current arsenal
No one would have stood by him had he been terrible. Goes both ways tbh. Not a United fan but he doesn’t owe apology to anyone, he did the best for him.
Man that decade was so brutal as an Arsenal fan
Every single year we marginally got worse with zero chance of improvement. It was the years we heard every summer there wad a War Chest when in reality we ended up spending nothing on a net basis.
That war chest rhetoric triggered me to no end lol
Awful times indeed. Thank god for David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano.
Exactly
Too much toxic PR management (top 4 finish, challenge on 4 front, cant buy players coz market is saturated, too many midfielders say no to ces, quality is there, spirit is there bounce back, mathematically possible) and expect a few top players to carry the entire team
It was so brutal that I'm still Wenger out. Bringing on his son Bendtner against Barca was the first time I said "Wenger out".
@@LION_and_the_LAMB what was the alternative?
Regardless of how much ever I love Arsenal, these were the dark ages. I felt betrayed, angry and bruised after RvP left us to United and we had to give him the guard of honor the next season and all, but truth be told, Arsenal had no hunger to win any trophy. Paying of the stadium loan and satisfying the bare minimum (4th in EPL) was all they aspired.
We still lack the hunger! I fear we will bottle it again this year...
@@houseofvenusMDu could, but arsenal right now does have the hunger. There is a goal and that is to win the prem. That wasn’t the case in the past. There is good recruitment, a good foundation, they want and can spend the money. It’s a team with loads of potential, pretty young as well. They just need a lil push, a stronger bench or 1 superstar player.
But yeah there will always be city who can buy whatever they want…
@@houseofvenusMDArsenal need a world class forward if they want to beat city
He is a professional. He has every right to change clubs like you change jobs and companies for money. At the end of the day - contracts with football clubs are employment contracts. Get over it.
What’s changed? Lol
RVP20 brought number 20 to Old Trafford.
Legend
Solskjaer
Respect Ole
lol hilarious that Ole was left out. That is a true legend.
what does ole have to do with this?@@jme2193
Solskjaer lost the plot and betrayed the club whenever he blatantly disrespected Van Persie. RVP was only doing punditry and saying that Ole shouldn’t be smiling at the end of an important losing game. Then Ole became super disrespectful towards RVP. “He took MY NUMBER 20!” 😪 suck a crybaby, thin skin. If you were a hard manager, you wouldn’t even acknowledge it
Van Persie is an inspiration. Proves you can start off in a shit hole and go on to achieve great things.
I'm sure Alexis Sanchez, Sancho, Falcao and Pogba (just to name a few) would disagree with you 😂😂😂.
If it happened today he would have joined the shittest club in Britain
@@alba..8479ifs and buts , what an irrelevant comment lmao
Betray those that are loyal to you = inspiration.
@@alba..8479😂I know right
So listen to this
Iconic intro...
however...
I'm all ears
his tonality is annoying though ngl
RVP united legend, most memorable moment was Arsenal being forced to give van persie a guard of honour at the emirates after united won the league and the cherry on the top van persie scored that game. One of the coldest moment in prem history
The club that didn’t have the motivation to give you what you most desire giving you the guard of honour must have been one heck of a feeling 😂
Calling RVP a United Legend when he was a one season wonder for the club is crazy LMAO
Yup. Just another wild United fan trying to wind up Arsenal fans. Nothing to see here. @@TehZenMast3r
He had his best season at our club and won the Prem , gots and golden boot with us. Club hero and an amazing striker. He's in my top 5 fav players@@TehZenMast3r
@goofynun4938 keep living in the past mate , those days are long gone if you finish top 5 now will be a miracle
The player that got me into football. Absolute legend
I need the contact information for that tarot card reader. That prediction was too accurate 😂
I agree. I was creating some crazy day dreams lol
Norah Coyne. She used to work in Luxembourg/Belgium/Netherlands at that time.
As a gooner, I remember how hurt I was when he left. Now that I’m older, I’m not mad at him anymore cos I understand how important it is for a player to win trophies in their career. I was just angry then cos Arsenal stood by him when he was injured for so many yrs, a lot of clubs wouldn’t.
he didnt want to leave, Arsenal didnt want to offer him what he wanted and man united did. it was a business decision.
@@Ghost-tx4ftReferring to his meeting - on 16 May - with Wenger and Gazidis, Van Persie said: "This was a meeting about the club's future strategy and their policy. Financial terms or a contract have not been discussed, since that is not my priority at all.
I'm not sure that's the case
He's a piece of shit, remember wenger backed him when he was charged of rape back in 2005. He backed him when he couldn't spent a single season without a long term injury before 2010, and since he left he's always claimed that arsenal never offered him an extension omitting the fact that he didn't want to extend his contract and that in fact "Financial terms or a contract have not been discussed, since that is not my priority at all.", that quote is from van persie's offical page
I still hate that mother benchot
@@Ghost-tx4ft I dont knw if this is true or not . but did he ordered wengers to whom to sign next .

Wow! That's really shallow and dumb
@@dondamon4669 How? It's a testament to the work of the creator. Not everyone is a football scholar. Many people learn new things everyday and it's perfectly normal to have your views completely transformed by new information. Stop being elitist.

@@houseofvenusMDit’s NEW* not knew** forget about football knowledge, you need to learn basic English lol.
The worse thing about the Van Persie betrayal was not that he went to our greatest northern rival and foes in the Premier league era it was the loyal Wenger and Arsenal showed him when he was out injured most of his arsenal career finally he managed to get a full season under his belt and he offed and leaved us.
You werent rivals for 7 years
There is so much new information that I did not know about. You have done a terrific job with this video and I am so happy to have watched it.
A bunch of it is copied from Wikipedia
@@ryleypalmer haha 😂
You forgot to mention he is is also the all time top scorer for the Dutch national team, with 50 goals. That list contains players like Cruyff, van Basten, Bergkamp, Kluivert and van Nistelrooij.
He also played a lot more games for the Netherlands than those names, in an era of increasingly pointless international football with stats padding against weak sides (he's not the only one, Lukaku and Rooney were even worse in that area). He scored like 1 goal at World Cup 2006, 1 at Euro 2008, 1 at World Cup 2010 when he was the lead striker in a Dutch team that reached the final and 0 at Euro 2012. Cruyff, van Basten, Bergkamp and Kluivert may have scored less but did so when it mattered.
@@pritapp788 His run at 2014 World Cup was good though, and you couldn't deny his assisting qualities.
@@pritapp788 yeah, you’re right about that. He was shit on almost every major tournament, with maybe the exception of his goals against Ivory Coast in 2006 (free kick) and his goal against Spain in 2014 (header)
He wasn't offered a new deal.
th-cam.com/video/W1fs4E85Voo/w-d-xo.html - Robin van Persie reveals EXACTLY why he left Arsenal for Manchester United.
RvP was one of my fav players around that time. Not only was he an Arsenal star but he as also playing for theDutch national side, and though I am not Dutch, they were the team I supported ever since 1994 (and watching Bergkamp). When he left it was a huge betrayal but also I understand as the years from 2006 till the end of Wenger's era, were terrible for us.
I don't comment on videos often but I have got to say your videos are awesome
Paddy speak your mind it will clear your head and cure your persistent erectile dysfunction.
dude was unstoppable that 2012/13 season. Him lining up for volleys, you knew it was going in
That was a very special season to be a United supporter. The arrival of RvP, the 20th title and the departure of Fergie.
One of my all time favorite players what a beast
RVP and Rooney were such an amazing Duo.
I literally thought that it was the return of Rooney and Ronaldo
RvP's career indeed was similar to him and had even followed his immature days, too.
So, it felt as if this duo was pre-destined to be together as one that complimented each other.
Very well put together video. Good job 👍🏻
Great video, thank you
Please can you do a video on Tim Cahill because he is an inspiration for Australian sports fans and has just been put in the Australia sport hall of fame
I second this request. Carlos Tevez too please
TIM C A H I L L was a B E A S T
@@charlesronnie8593 He was no regular beast. That man was a goddamn demon. I always signed him for my career modes back in Fifa 11 and 12.
That WC volley ✅
Yet another king of volley, overall an extremely underrated player in EPL who scored during clutch situations.
Lucas: So listen to this
Me: nods head in anticipation
Your videos are amazing man
Only football channel i watch so far..
keep going brodie!
HITC Sevens is even better, pick a random video on his channel that interests you. He's the boss.
Very well researched video.
Yo Dude this is one of your best works, likely because it contains Robin VanPersie. A rebel turned legend! Thank you for telling us the story.
RvP was such a good striker. Despite all hes achieved, he could have won so much more if not for injuries. Brilliant technique, finishing, vision and skill.
Thank you RVP your a true UNITED LEGEND, ❤️❤️
great video!
"Our club has a terrible habit of selling our best players to our domestic rivals and then watching them win trophies. Although I loved Wenger, I can't forgive him for allowing the sale of RVP to United, Cole to Chelsea, Kolo Toure, Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy, Samir Nasri and Emmanuel Adebayor to City. To make matters worse, we began taking these same rivals' rejects. I hope that elite standards will be imposed at the club to put an end to this habit."
So we're not gonna mention that he celebrated when he scored against Arsenal..?
King
Adoro o teu canal parabens pelo excelente trabalho
good video ty.
The more I hear about these players the respect for both Messi and Ronaldo keep on rising because of the amount of consistency they both have.
Stop using “he won everything” for players who did not “win everything”
Go find somewhere else to vent...cry more😂😂
I'm not even a fan of the 2 bum clubs he played for LOL@@jeffnjoroge4117
@@jeffnjoroge4117 He's right! Did he win the world cup? Ballon d'or?? So many more
This is a great and insightful video mate. Well done. I wish you had added "Van Persie" on the video title.
It would have added to your suggestion numbers to potential viewers
Nah he's after the no-brain clickbait crowd. "Who? Who could that be?"
These videos are awesome. Thank you!
i will never forget his diving looping header against the almighty spain .. that wasnt a match as much as a dutch autopsy of the once great spanish superteam.
RVP going to united really did hurt. That entire season felt like a nightmare. Watching him score spectacular goals for them was heartbreaking. But i understand why he did it. Arsenal were aimless and could not match his ambitions. Still hurts but its the truth.
As arsenla fans we fully deserve where we are now. We have been through almost 2 decades of pain and heartache. Really hope we can win something soon.
could you make a video about keisuke honda or fredy guarin? love your videos!!
Loved this
The year RvP went to Man U he won them 20+ points on his own, Arsenal were second being 10 points behind, if he had stayed there would be a statue to him today at the Arsenal Stadium. What a shame.
exactly he literally burned his legacy for nothing as we very well might have won the PL that year if not for him leaving.
Doubt it that arsenal side would've bottled it @@harleyokeefe5193
What are you talking about? Arsenal finished 4th that season 16 points behind United.
At Arsenal, Van Persie was more like Half Persie since he was usually out half of the season due to injury. He left Arsenal to win tropies but he would have won in Arsenal if only he could have stayed healthy in years prior.
The whole channel and all its content is indescribably good. Well done. You deserve way, way, more subscribers and I hope the number grows quickly. I wish you a quick rise to one million. Keep it up, and put out content we all enjoy. Greetings from Serbia.🙂👋🇷🇸
I admire RVP during his time in arsenal so much. What can we do life needs to go on. He get what he wants and deserve that.
Could have been a club legend but all he is remembered for is as a mercenary. Even clouded how great he was at his peak.
He didn't cloud anything. It is like Owen, yeah he killed his relationship with Liverpool fans but how phenomenal he was at his peak is not forgotten and he has a PL winners medal.
Arsenal thought it was hilarious when they signed Sol Campbell and broke Spurs fans hearts. Well in life often what goes around comes around.
Only crybaby arsenal fans called him a mercenary. All of us normal fans called him a smart guy 🤣. You hypocrites laughed at Spurs fan cause of how Sol Campbell betrayed Spurs but you can't stand it when a bigger club does it to you.
by your own logic, he became a mercenary when he joined arsenal...
@@nilianstroy Are we pretending it was a normal transfer?
@@darrenjohn8524 "Bigger"
Have you heard of the story of Washinton "brave heart"? A brazilian striker that at its peak discovered that He has a heart disease and has to stop his carrer for nearly 2 years to recover, Not knowing if I would be able to play again. Just to come back to be the top scorer of Brazilian top league more than once
now this is interesting
Now that's a master story teller!
As a man united fan, it was a pleasure ❤ we love you RVP
cant really comment on his betrayal due to the sole campbell saga lol
we'd be twofaced to complain about rvp
He made the best choice for his career, he went from a small club to a bigger club. So respct to RVP for that.
he was also a class player.
Your club is completely in the mud now 😢
The problem is he could've gone to any big club. He chose Arsenals biggest rivals at the time.
@@harleyokeefe5193 Arsenals biggest rivals at the time?
04/05 was the last time Arsenal finished 2nd
RVP joined United 12/13
Biggest rivals were Everton and Spurs trying to get top 4
How times have turned ....Utd went from champs to not been able finish a season without a - goal difference which is crazy and breaking their record for most loses in a season
Wow, the title "The Most PROFITABLE Betrayal In The History Of Football" sure sounds intriguing! It's always fascinating to see how strategic moves in sports, especially in football, can have such significant impacts. Betrayals or unexpected transfers in football history often lead to some really interesting shifts in team dynamics and can even change the course of championships. It's a reminder of how unpredictable and thrilling the world of sports can be! 🌟⚽🏆
he did what's best for him...well done to him on moving on to a club that means business in winning trophies at the time☝️☝️💯💯🔥🔥🔥
“He won everything”
1 premier league
😂😂😂
That golden boot must have been a memory huh
@@SurrealExposure12oh wow. A golden boot. You forgot community shield too. Both of which he’d already won before joining United. Everything usually means all domestic and European titles not 1 title and a boot
Fair. It does make it sound like they won the UCL lol
maybe he's a Tottenham fan so for him a league title is "everything"
There were a few bastards who betrayed Arsenal in that era.
I get WHY they did it (We had very limited transfer budgets for a long time, due to paying off the debts on the new Emirates Stadium, coupled with signings that were not great) but it still pissed everyone off at the time, and they've never been forgiven.
Van Persie did explain, with anger, why he left Arsenal, saying that they didn't offer him any contract.
Honestly, had Arsenal managed to extend the contract, he would have won the league at that same season.
The litany is long really. I mean, so many of them betrayed Wenger, wanted things handed to them. For all the "no mentality" stuff going around, these self-same players were the creatures displaying the lack of mentality.
2:13 yoo Goat Persie got vfb merch hanging🔥🔥
Watching from Belize central america and I'm a Real Madrid FC fan but I love the EPL and I loved RVP from the moment i see him ⚽✨
Love your videos, man. Couple things though: -He was NEVER offered a new contract @ Arsenal - something he's gone on record to say several times (Never denied by Arsenal) He famously said he'd offer a couple million euros to anyone who could prove he REJECTED an Arsenal contract (via Jake Humphrey's pod). SECONDLY, he said "the little boy inside me was screaming for Man United" when comparing United to presumably his only other choice in the summer of 2012 - Which was Juventus (Hence he spoke to Van Der Sar, who had played at both Juve and Man United). I had an EXCLUSIVE interview with RVP in 2020 (On my channel) and all of this was part of the research. KEEP UP THE AMAZING VIDS!
Why wouldn't Arsenal offer a new contract to their best player?
Do you seriously believe that he was offered contract extensions all those years he spent at hospital
and suddenly once he's injury free Arsenal decided not to give him a new contract?
Why would ANY club not offer their best player a new contract, if for nothing else then to sell him for more later?
You do know that just because someone says something, it doesn't mean it's true?
@@Qlicky That's a rather simple way of looking at things there. Gazidis apparently didn't want to offer him the wages RVP knew he could attract at another club. Hence no offer was made. At the end of the day though, who knows?!
@@SidKohliTV It's a simple way of looking at it because it was a simple situation.
He wanted to leave whether for money or to win trophies (or both). He was just too big of a pussy to actually admit it, so he invented this bullshit story how Arsenal didn't offer him a new contract.
Again, it makes absolutely no sense from a business stand point to let your best player leave for free. And Arsenal is a business after all.
RVP basically wanted his cake and eat it too while not wanting entire Arsenal fanbase to hate his guts.
Wenger stuck with him through his entire injury ridden career and as soon he had an injury free season he stabbed him in the back and left. The least he could have done is actually be honest about it.
But you dont get that from snakes like he is.
He wasn’t gonna sign anyway 🥱 all summer he was doing interviews and flirting with a move away
@@alphomega2459 That's why he was sold in the first place. Not because he wasnt offered a contract or other bullshit RVP would like people to believe, but because he wasn't going to sign it.
Having said that, he had no problems pocketing the wages and signing extensions when he was spending half of each season injured and nobody was interested.
A textbook example of a backstabber.
Amazing story, though I think Figo to Real Madrid was the most profitable betrayal of all time.
Thank you for agreeing for the robbery vs Barcelona
Respect for growing up this much to finally fully reach his potential.
He can say whatever he wanted about the club's lack of ambition and whatnot, but he conveniently forgot that he was part of all the troubles we've had by being injured for more often than not. It was the club that stood behind him and backed him up when so many times people have been calling us stupid for hanging onto a player made of glass.
And his thanks? One good season and he's off, joining our rivals. Even then, you know, a simple thanks and acknowledging the club and fans had been good to him would've sufficed, but no. He had to run his mouth the way he did, burning away every conceivable bridges as he went.
Man U fans will have different opinions, but for Gooners, he'll always be our Anakin Skywalker.
people often forget that arsenal and wenger stood behind him throughout thoes 8 years and the thanks they recieved was a transfer to our greatest rival
Honestly RVP is underated
One of my favorite strikers. He scored many great goals.
He was the reason i starting being a full time arsenal fan back in 2012
12:23 VARCELONA 🤣
How can you blame a guy for leaving after winnning almost nothing in 8 years?
Our time/chances are limited, choose wisely💯
he was injured for those 8 years to, so not liked he helped
Thank you. He's a hero since he started playing football
I started watching football in the late Ferguson era, and supports Man Utd as it’s a family thing, my favorite player’s RvB as my earliest memory of football is he hitting a volley
As an arsenal and RVP fan, him leaving for Man United and winning the trophy was devastating experience… When he left I was depressed for a long time and then he managed to win the League, it was more heartbreaking than Cesc leaving… I will never forgive him for this but somehow I understand his decision..
The fact that Cesc now refers to Arsenal as 'us', but RVP only does this for, and only shows up to watch Manchester United shows to me that RVP's betrayal was bigger. Even compared to Cole (who ended up playing for Chelsea for longer than he was ever at Arsenal, so it makes sense for his loyalties to be there) and Adebayor (who didn't want to leave Arsenal, and then developed real bad blood with Arsenal fans), RVP is snakiest of snakes
He could of joined literally any other team in the world. I was devastated too
@@Kate-ms2mn lol betrayal, when a player goes to another club uit is always " betrayal". Bullshit ofcourse. He just left because he wanted to win trophies and at Arsenal there was no eager of winning. Just as simple as that.
We are talking about football not about war.
I think barca could sign him in 2012. He deserved to play in Camp Nou
Why would he join cheaters?

daim when you reached an age where videos have arrived to explain football stories to the kids like when you used to hear about the van basten stories or romario etc. time flies
Hi Daily Dose of Football I was wondering if you've ever thought about making a video about Eden hazard would love to see one about him
I'm only at the start... but I feel like your definately romantasing the "love" Arsenal had for RVP.
The stats tells a slightly different story, but the general opinion isn't that "RVP stuck through 6 seasons of no trophies" but more like "Arsenal stuck with him through 6 years of him never actually being fit to play".
The annoyance Arsenal fans felt was that after sticking with him for all that time, they deserved more then one season. Ultimately its a bit false, because he DID have more then one good season.
I think its kind of amusingly ironic that RVP ended up only getting one good season out of United in the end.
He is the reason i fell in love with football 😍
The best youtuber these days, your storyrellingis the best even while i am drunk. Keep going man. This is my first comment ever on TH-cam. You deserve it ! 💥🔥
Keep commenting it will soothe your erectile dysfunction.
Against Aston villa, the first goal, he won the match, the second he won the goal of the season, the third he won the Golden boot!!! Legend!!
RVP going to Man Utd a betrayal? Sol Campbell leaving Spurs for Arsenal was an even bigger betrayal. Either way if a player hasn't won a league title an sees the opportunity to join another club in order to so then so be it. It's called having ambition.
Similar things happened in Italy with the divine ponytail Roberto Baggio, from Florence to Juventus, and in France with David Ginola. It is exactly how you said it. They have my respect for that. ^^
All of these mentioned are BOTH ambition and Betrayal. It just comes down to what you value the most. If you can look back in 10 years time and still feel like you made the right decision then fine. But you can never expect the love of your former teams fans when you do them like that.. I think this is where Van Persie has a problem, he is bitter that Arsenal fans don't respect him
He betrayed arsenal, but even as a gunner i don't despise him. Yes he snaked arsenal but you do have to understand everything from his perspective, he finally gets going but even with him in his prime arsenal didn't win the league or any major trophy. Its understandable that he left. He wanted to win the league, just as Henry wanted to win the Champions league and left for barca
The player who made me fall in love with the game.
At the time when he left Arsenal. I felt hurt and angry. He was the one thing my team still had. However a few years in hindsight. Its a choice of his for him personally that I agree and understand. Arsenal wasnt going to put together a title winning team. The team at the time was just so subpar. I also like to think because of his departure that the management got their act together and started putting together some semblance of a team. We havent won the PL since then, but at least now the team feels much more on the same page. His career also deserved more recognition than it had at that point, at a club level I mean. He was class and absolutely lethal. Had he signed with a more ambitious club earlier Im sure he would have lots more silver to fill his cabinets
What is never mentioned is that from 2005 till 2013 arsenal had a strict policy of not offering any players multi year contracts if they are 29 or over. Arsenal were financially constrained during this period by paying for the new Emirates stadium. Vieira, Henry, rvp all walked when they were 29
Yeah except they offered Randy Travis, Keith Urban and Tim McGraw multi-year contracts in that time who were all in their 30s. Your claims are full of nonsense.
@@YesOkayButWhyexcellent 😂
SAF is an absolute legend. After fulfilling RVP's hunger, he then proceeded with karma and gave him a taste of his own medicine. It was all worth it at the end.
yep, the fact fergie just used rvp for one last league title then left makes me slightly happier bout the situation lol
such an underrrated player
He's definitely the master of aerodynamics in football when of my best players of all time
Do you still remember me??😅😅

Van persie was injured most of the time during his time at Arsenal.
Arsenal had great midfield, but thanks to Adabayor and lord they never won anything thanks to Mr. Injured as well
One season when Arsenal was bad team he stays fit, scores lot of goals, get better offer and just go to nearest enemy.
Nobody hate Adabayors, Ashley Cole but Persie took betrayal to another level
Ya but saying that doesn't really fit the narrative, everyone wants to believe that he was carrying us for all those years when in reality it was only one season . But oh well it is what it is a guess.
IMO the best left foot to strike the ball, that too if its a volley then its over for the keeper.
Messi then robben lol are you serious?
got my sub thank you for this great content ggmu
You have no idea how much us united fans loved RVP. His left foot shooting was even better than Messi’s. That’s how good he was.
No it wasn't. Messi is so far ahead of van persie, rvp isn't even good enough to lace messi boots
