I've not posted this on the Arsenal board as I dont want any abuse and i doubt theyd take me seriously but as I've explained before all of my family are Gooners and at a family gathering we had an interesting chat. One of my cousins in particular has connections at Arsenal (always has done) and two main things came out: - RVP off to United - From what he said this is nailed on. He sees RVP quite often although doesn't know him personally De Jong negotiating with Arsenal and Personal Terms agreed - This is likely but not nailed on like RVP. I actually defended Arsenal and said they'd get top 4, which I believe they will do
Selling RVP to United would be very galling . From fierce rivals to selling them our best player. Just hope Juve come back in with a very good bid and we get it over with.
I doubt we are getting de Jong though I don't rate him personally for the simple reason that he won't fit in with our style of play. Rvp I hope goes to juv thoug I simply want him gone irrespective of where he goes.
RVP will flop everywhere else mark my words. One excellent season makes everyone think he's the best but quite frankly, he's not. Can't see him doing well anywhere other than Arsenal.
My Cousin sees RVP quit often in the VIP section. I only caught the tail end of the conversation but the gist of it was that he was meant to be chauffeured to VIP and didn't show up because he went to have talks with United. He's absolutely sure it's happening. If he's wrong he's wrong but this info he knows first hand. It was reported a while ago that RVP was looking around Hale, Manchester at property but at the time everybody thought he was off to City. If that's accurate it could explain things. Reportedly (according to the press) Juve have dropped out of the race to sign him and he doesn't want to go to City. Personally (this is my opinion) he's off to Manchester. Not sure whether it's City or United but it doesn't look good for you guys who im sure would hate to see him go to another PL club
Would love to see RVP at United but I think he will carry on at Arsenal at least to the January transfer window, and this De Jong your talking about could be Nigel or Luuk (guessing its Nigel though) but they already have Song, Diaby returning to fitness and Wilshere hopefully back in october so dont see it happening really.

I have reserved my bed in the cock clinic, just in case you are right, DL, about RvP going to United. It's always a matter of opinion, of course, but I really cannot see Arsenal finishing top 4 this coming season, not without RvP, and with Walnut's contract negotiations still unresolved.
