Robin van Persie might be going to China during the summer

There is news that Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua might be interested in signing the former Arsenal and Manchester United player.


The Dutchman might be joining a growing number of European players that have joined the Chinese Super League as China keeps developing a league that could rival the J-League.

Robin van Persie is currently playing for the Turkish side Fenerbahce since his move from Manchester United. There are reports that he might not be happy playing with the Turkish side as he seeks to look for other opportunities in the summer.

Van Persie joined Fenerbahce in July 2015 for a fee that was reported to be around €5 million. Since then he has been proving to be an absolute bargain for the Turkish side as he keeps scoring goals one after the other. So far he has made 45 appearances for Fenerbahce and managed to score 20 goals for them. Continue reading Robin van Persie might be going to China during the summer

ROBIN VAN PERSIE DOWN WITH UNKNOWN INJURY

Robin Van Persie missed out of the crucial match against Konyaspor in the Turkish super Ligue this weekend. The Ex-Arsenal striker didn’t prosecute the encounter as he was out due to an unknown injury. The Netherland International, who matched Thierry Henry’s 30 goals in one season record in the 2011/2012 at the Emirates, played full 90 minutes in the game against Osmanlispor in the same Super Lig.

Late last year, the center forward missed a match due to calf injury in the match against Gaziantepspor. He also missed the group A Europa league match against Celtic and the UEFA Champions League qualification game with Shakhtar Donesk where they lost by a whopping three-nil.

The Dutchman’s injury records are decent in the Turkish league compared to the stretch of matches he missed while in the English Premier League. The calf injury and this last unknown injury are the only two he has suffered form this season at the Turkish Super Ligue.

However, in the Turkiye Kupasi, he missed out twice in January this year due to an unknown injury and in the quarter finals first leg due to influenza last month. Still, he has played 40 matches in all competitions this season for the club scoring 15 goals Continue reading ROBIN VAN PERSIE DOWN WITH UNKNOWN INJURY

The future of Victor Valdes is being linked with a move away from Old Trafford

Victor Valdes has not performed in any of the 3 opening matches of the season of Manchester United and it doesn’t seem like the Spanish goal-keeper will be appearing in any competitive match for the Premier League club anytime soon as it’s believed that his relationship with Louis van Gaal has been deteriorated.

The Spanish shot-stopper is in the transfer list of Manchester United as Louis van Gaal wants to offload him from Old Trafford and one of the main reasons of why it’s rumored on why Valdes does not play any importance in the Premier League club is because the player refused to participate in a reserve match which ultimately led to Valdes having a war of words with the Dutch manager.

The former Barcelona player has admitted that he is a complicated person to work with as Victor Valdes told the media: “I am a very difficult person to work and live with. My wife deserves the biggest of trophies. I was very lucky to have so many seasons with Guardiola. In addition to being a teacher to many of us, he was always able to communicate greatly with everyone and knowing how to adapt to talk to different people in the dressing room’’

“That’s the most challenging thing for a coach, to adapt their own pride to be able to speak to everyone with their different egos” Continue reading The future of Victor Valdes is being linked with a move away from Old Trafford

Robin van Persie appears to be heading to the exit door at Manchester United

Robin van Persie appears to be heading to the exit door at Manchester United after manager Louis Van Gaal refused to confirm whether the striker would remain at the club next season.

The Dutchman has failed to hit the heights of the last few years, as the problems with injuries have reappeared once again in his life. Van Persie has averaged one goal in every two matches in the last two seasons and this is not seen as being good enough for a club like United. After featuring very rarely in the second half of the campaign, it is widely speculated that van Persie could be sold in the summer.

The striker’s contract runs out in 12 months and he has not been offered a new deal yet. Rather than let him leave on a free, United would rather sell him in the upcoming summer and receive some transfer fee instead. Wayne Rooney has become the club’s first choice striker in the last couple of months. Van Persie has started only one match since February. Even though it has been primarily due to injuries, poor form has also been attributed to his absence. This season, he has managed only 10 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions.
