Interesting
To be honest, I was just looking at the number of appearances he had each season and it was enough to make me thing he'd be a liability. Even if he played 28+ games a season, I'd still be concerned about the 30 points that are still on offer in the other games and who would score the goals. I found a website that gave a little more info on his injury history (
http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/robin-van-persie/profil/spieler_4380.html) but otherwise I didn't know much apart from Chiellini finishing him. There was a league table on number of injuries in the league last season and I think Juventus ended up with the lowest total, perhaps with no recurring issues and Conte will benefit RVP in many ways. And his wife doesn't have to live in ugly ugly Manchester!
I don't think at any point I've said I wouldn't be anything other very happy with him though (never giving up on my Gonzalo), the numbers you've provided are all you need for someone who hasn't seen him. Only if you guarantee he doesn't get injured
Buffon
Barzagli-Bonucci-Chiellini
Lichtsteiner-Vidal-Pirlo-Marchisio-De Ceglie
van Persie-Vučinić
Unfortunately I cannot guarantee his health. I haven't acquired that power yet, but there's still time.
I feel ya. I've actually got a Cavani Fetish... Cavani than Higgy or Rvp, than Dzeko, order of preference. I just think that if there's a shot, and he's only 30M, we've just gotta pull that trigger. I can't see Lavezzi & Cavani being sold... and Cavani will be ridiculously priced if he is available. Higuain doesn't really seem available to me - he would pretty much have to force his way out (unless we opened the wallet up real wide?). Who knows.
A couple of my ex-roommates/close friends - who are brothers - are big Gunners fans. I have heard so much yapping over the years about Robin, and I can appreciate the player that he is. In the past it did seem like he was always hurt - he and Rosicky - but I never really followed too closely what the specific injuries were. More so just trying to dig stuff up now, so thanks for that link buddy. I was very quickly looking at xrays of ankles, but am a little burnt from vaporizing some blueberry kush at the moment, and wasn't processing some of that information particularly well. 2:50 am... and stunned.
Anyway, RvP would add a ton - he's absolutely class. Higgy is younger, will hold his value better if things don't work out, he's a great striker who will get better. Either would be amazing, but Robin is in the form of his life right now. I think I'm slightly biased, because I've watched him more, as well.
I do like the age, familiarity with the league, physicality, work ethic, volume production, and potential for improvement with Cavani most, though.
Actually, I like the idea of adding another Uruguayan or two... lots of quality there right now, they seem to generally play a nice, aggressive style. Gotta love Martin
Sorry for the expansive reply. Burnt rambling, clearly time for sleep.
Edit: Shit, almost forgot...
