Van Persie to be offered new five-year contract
The Dutch striker Robin van Persie has had another brilliant half a season after recovering from his usual injury problems, and it is being reported that Arsene Wenger is now preparing a new five-year contact for him, which will mean the 27 year-old will end his career at the Emirates.
Robin still has two years remaining, but Wenger is trying to tie all current players down so that the recent problems with player’s contracts don’t reappear year after year. Acording to the Daily Mirror, Arsenal are set to give him a £20,000 a week rise on his current £70,000 a week deal and it is extremely unlikely that van Persie will waste any time arguing about it as he is probably the most loyal player in the team.
Van Persie said in February: “I don’t have the inclination to go anywhere. This is the best team for me to be in.
“The bottom line is that I want to win trophies with Arsenal, not with anybody else. I know you can win trophies in many countries and in many ways, but I want to do that in our way and in an Arsenal shirt.
“I’m sure I could win things at another team in another country, but would it feel like our trophy, my trophy? I’m not sure it would. Anything we win here will come from the heart and that’s what I want.
“It’s my dream and I see no point in speaking about other teams when I have these dreams. I think other people know that about me; I’m just hungry to win with Arsenal and that’s it.”
Since the New Year, despite Arsenal’s failure in all competitions, van Persie has scored 20 goals in 22 games and has played his heart out for his club. If only Wenger had 22 players like that……

A well-deserved new contract and I hope he signs.
I wish, however, he would have more confidence in that chocolate leg of his, which is better than he appears to think. On many occasions he appears so left-sided, it’s embarrassing. One answer would be to assist by signing a good two-footed striker and thereby give Van Persie freedom to roam.

He sure is the one player whose heart is totally rooted at Arsenal and therefore deserves much better than even Cesc. I don’t believe he would score as many goals for any other team, not even the Holland national team and that demonstrate his love for this club. Long live ROBIN. Long live ARSENAL!

A player like him should get something from 100,000 to 120,000; for his loyalty and contribution.

I love him. If only he’d stay fit each season. He would surpass Henry’s records. Robin Van Persie is the most loyal Gunner right now, let other players make an example out of him.

RVP,Arsenal fans is happy just having u even without u playing,that is the kind of commitment we need from the other players…wenger make him your captain and you can do better than just a meagre 20k increase or is it because he doesn’t want to follow the footsteps of the likes of rooney, tevez by threating to leave?

that is the reason why we cannot keep top players nor get them, 90k a week for our best player. The 3rd richest club in the world offers 90k to its best top player while 10 other clubs offer better salaries than we do. But of course keep saying that fabregas loves barcelona and nasri is unsettled, and cashley cole how can i forget it!!
i think if the club is that cheap then i want to see discounts on the new apparel and the tickets, because i’ll be cheap too!
