Sounds like Van Persie is leaving Arsenal then.
When quizzed over his future, Van Persie told reporters: "You never know. Arsenal is a massive club, a great club. I have been playing here for eight years and I love this club. Whatever happens that will never change.
"We'll sit down next week. Arsenal is a massive club, whatever happens I'll always love this club."
SURELY those are the words of someone considering leaving? He probably understands now that Arsenal cannot possibly catch up on this current Manchester City side, so to have a chance of winning something, will need to join Man City or go abroad.
