THE BIG GAMBLE BY MANCHESTER UNITED.

The buying of Robin van Persie for 24 million pounds and a weekly salary of over 200,000 pounds is a real gamble. After eight years at Arsenal he had only one injury free season , in which he scored 37 goals for the club.And paying this much for a player who was on his last year of contract at Arsenal, was a criminal waste of money, Ferguson could have got him cheap in january or even free at the summer window. To expect Rooney and Persie to each score 30 odd goals the next four seasons is being daft .Players do not score thirty goals each year. Mind you Persie is 29 years old, on his last contract, so the one question I would ask football fans is why did the giants of Europe like A.C.Milan , Inter Milan, Barcelona or Real Madrid , come knocking at Arsenals door? It was simple he was a injury prone player and not worth 24 million pounds. By the way Manchester United are in debt,the Glazers are milking the club, the shares of Manchester United have failed in the U.S.A But joy of the buy was that Ferguson stole Robin Van Persie from the noses of Manchester City.
