FC BARCELONA

The top scorer in the Premier out of contract in 2013.

If the option is not viable Llorente, both sporting and economically, FC Barcelona is working in parallel in any other form of elite: the Dutchman Robin van Persie, the top scorer in the Premier League.

Wenger's pupil, who joined the London team in the 2004-2005 season, has the same profile as Llorente, as it is not a striker born. In fact, both in the Netherlands (played three years in the Feneyoord) in its selection, as for many seasons at Arsenal, has played down the right to wrong foot, being left handed.

He has been in recent years when their coach has been used more as nine, yes, with total freedom of movement. About to turn 29 years old (in August), out of contract in June 2013, making it one of the most desired players from across Europe. Arsenal will have no choice but to listen to offers for him if he will not run out of anything within a year. And this fact makes their transfer price is affordable for big clubs in Europe.

Van Persie has refused to renew yet, knowing that he has the upper hand and the possibility of signing the last big contract of his life with a computer can aspire to win titles, something that has not been done in the 'Emirates '.

Van Persie really like the technical secretariat of FC Barcelona for its versatility, high technical level, speed and experience. His friendship with Cesc Fàbregas could bring him to the Camp Nou this option if it wins the whole of Llorente.

Barca fichará a central defender. It is one of the priorities of the technical squad. And the steps to hire long ago they occurred. Thiago Silva, as in all the signings, has been probed by FC Barcelona and the Brazilian player has given his approval to the operation. Want to come to Camp Nou.

It is very probable that Milan put a thousand fault for not getting rid of one of the few young players you have in your template. In favor of Barça play the Lombard entity still has to pay a share of the signing of Ibrahimovic, which could bring down significantly the recruitment of young central defender.

In the offices of the club azulgrana are designing the strategy for the immediate future, given the age of two power holders at the moment, Puyol and Mascherano. Thiago Silva is considered the most promising center of Europe at the moment. Their representatives are familiar with the interest of Barça. (via SPORT)

Cracks like Torres or Van Persie happy to come azulgrana equipment.
With Pep or with Tito, the hook is now the Camp Nou is unmatched.

Barça is coming a new, as yet different. Pep Guardiola will leave the team with worldwide prestige that goes far beyond its 13 degrees and is about to take over his close collaborator Tito Vilanova. This year will not fall or la Liga or the Champions League, but this team captivates like no other in the world. And that power of attraction also affects top-level professionals, such as Fernando Torres and Robin van Persie. Any of them would be happy to wear at the azulgrana in the football project with more punch in the world. And Barça knows it.

In the situation of the Dutch forward has been reporting MD. Arsenal captain, top scorer in the Premier League, has for months without renewing a contract that takes away just one year of operation. That makes it a market opportunity. Friend of Cesc Fabregas, we would be happy to return to play with him and that Barça move tab.

The forward of Chelsea, who beat Barça in the Champions League, also has friends in the Camp Nou. And the way he spoke of Barça seconds after deleting it confirms what level is the degree of admiration culé.

Wenger brings Podolski and he assimilates his escape

According to the initial plan, the lead is not, today, to reinforce the priority line for the club, but the market sometimes gets in the window a great opportunity that would be foolish not to value. Robin van Persie is in a contractual situation so special that it almost becomes a bargain. The top scorer in the Premier League with 28 goals out of contract with Arsenal in 2013, so that is about to enter its final season. The club 'gunner' has failed in its attempts to extend the contract for Van Persie, who now gives long under the guise of the Euro. If Arsenal do not want to see how Van Persie free will in a few months, the opportunity to profit is to pass it this summer, with the handicap that he could not do it the way 'gunner', ie, asking for a morterada. Coach, Arsène Wenger, has already hedged its bets. Yesterday Cologne Arsenal accepted wholesale from Lukas Podolski, a former Bayern forward, for about 13 million euros. Van Persie can not ask for much more.

No one spoke so well of a Barça played

Fernando Torres is recovering a goal and enthusiasm to play the Euro due to its season finale, endorsed with his latest hat trick. This whole course and a crack appeared in disgrace. After his high level in Liverpool, in January 2011 put Chelsea 58 million euros to sign him until 2016. But be that for whatever reason, did not fit. Now, many times from the bench, is giving and scoring goals that have helped Chelsea to be in the Champions League final. Achieved while Barça settled in the European tournament and still at the Camp Nou, released this: "Barça is ahead of all but the best does not always win." No one spoke so well of a new rival eliminated. Further proof that, if for him, would love to play with friends, some of them as intimate as Iniesta. Athletic heart 'El Niño' never go to Real Madrid, but Barça. Recently, he had sold to Chelsea for 20 million euros. If Barça make a gesture, 'El Niño' help. (via MD)

The issue of FC Barcelona was the Monday night visit from one of the great cracks in the Premier: The forward of Arsenal Robin Van Persie.

The Dutch striker went to the JW Marriot hotel in London is hosting the Barça squad shortly after completion in game the Gunners played-and lost-to Wigan by 1-2.

The meeting went beyond the British press, which have been published including photographs of the visit and Van Persie out of the hotel.

Apparently, the Arsenal striker went there to greet his old friends: 'Ibi' Afellay, Dutch team-mate and Cesc Fabregas, who shared equipment in the Gunners.

The event, in any case, has set off alarm bells among fans of London side, fearful that his star to sign for Barça in the future.

Van Persie out of contract in June 2013, when they could no cost to sign for any club, and to renew negotiations have not borne fruit yet. Real Madrid and Manchester City would be among the teams that would like their breakthrough this summer. (via SPORT)

Barça have on your list to four names among those who elect to transfer stellar 2012-2013.
Bale and Van Persie are international options, but attentive to the way Basque: Javi Martínez and Muniain.

Barça already working on a template reinforcements in itself very difficult to improve the quality of a championship team. But there are always areas for strengthening and that the club azulgrana is now focusing its efforts on finishing the season fighting for three titles, yet without neglecting the planning of next year.

In the Barça 2012-2013 will transfer pump, make no mistake. In principle, get out of a list that runs the club with four big names. Both are from the Premier League, Gareth Bale and Robin van Persie, and the other two are the sensation of the year with Athletic, Javi Martínez and Iker Muniain.

Logically, unless their status as players have nothing to do with each other in terms of tactical performance. And as the economic context is one that is, the equation between market and technical need tell which of them can land at the Camp Nou.

The amount that the Barça prepares to sign around 50 million euros, it would have to add any transfers. The greedy pieces of the market is not cheap, exactly.

The first one, Bale is a very long journey left back who plays for Tottenham. His attacking qualities like much in a while, but Barça has always considered that district was covered with Éric Abidal flawlessly until it was confirmed that the French had to stop again.

Circumstances force and Bale is more like the lefty market. His problem is under contract with Tottenham until 2015 and that its value exceeds 35 million euros. Its advantage is that Bale just said that "if I called the Barça, I hear."

Van Persie is a temptation on the market. The Dutch top scorer in the Premier League takes months and months stalling Arsenal to renew his contract, which expires in 2013. Its disadvantage is in the 28 years of his ID.

The Basque route also takes account of Barça. A Javi Martínez is seen as the alter ego ideal of Sergio Busquets, capable of exercising midfield or central. A contract until 2016, a buyout clause of 40 million and the little will to do Athletic rebates are their problem.

The same is true of Muniain, the star also plays Athletic 'to Barça'. The skilful playmaker is under contract until 2015 and a progressive clause that would reach 45 million. (via MD)

The 'Daily Star' English said on Sunday that the club is willing to sign the 'gunner' Robin Van Persie and Cesc will use his friendship to convince.

"Barça want to sign Van Persie of Arsenal and used to his former teammate Cesc Fábregas to convince him to go to Camp Nou," says the Daily Star ', which ensures that the club azulgrana would be willing to make an offer of 48 million euros for the Dutch forward.

The fact that Cesc lead and won three trophies this season with Barça and Van Persie has not yet raised any with Arsenal in the last seven seasons is another argument that could convince 'RVP', author of 37 goals in so far this season and one of the most interesting market front. Not surprisingly, clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid were interested in recent weeks by his signing. (via SPORT)

Robin van Persie is not sufficient grounds to renew his contract with Arsenal, which expires in 2013. The absence of titles and the Champions League early exit in doubt make it again.

Cesc friend, the Dutch striker dreams of a movement that allows Barça line up again with former captain 'gunner' in the Camp Nou and has therefore postponed the talks until summer.

At 28 years, is at its best scorer. The Premier added 26 goals in 28 games for a total of 92 in 184 since 2004. (via MD)

The official version is that Arsenal's Robin van Persie is not for sale. At least, that was stated yesterday his manager, Arsene Wenger, who in his case came to the passage of the latest speculation linking Dutch striker with Manchester City.

"Our plan is to keep Robin, our leader, even from another player," Wenger said in reference to Lukas Podolski.

As reported MD, Van Persie, one year ahead to meet contract, would love to play with Cesc Fabregas at Barcelona. (via MD)

Mancini will attempt to sign the Dutch if the Gunners fail to convince the Dutch to stay.

Roberto Mancini, coach of Manchester City, would be interested in signing Robin Van Persie Arsenal if attempts to convince the forward to stay not bear fruit. The Dutchman, 28, and sought among others for the club, has scored a total of 32 goals in all competitions this season.

Mancini claims that Van Persie makes the same path as did the former gunners Clichy, Nasri and Kolo Touré, who already wear the colors of the City: "If there is a good player who is willing to leave the club, we are interested. All the big clubs are interested in Van Persie, who is one of the greatest scorers in Europe alongside Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Aguero or Balotelli. it is a fantastic striker, but I think he will stay at Arsenal, "said Mancini. "I think, as also the next Arsenal wants to win the Premier League, that will run out leaving because it's their best player by far." (via MD)

Van Persie was devoted even more at Anfield with two golazos to raise his price.

Another exhibit more of a shrine of football. Robin van Persie had never marked at Anfield yesterday and did so twice in a further demonstration of why it has more than enough level to play for FC Barcelona and fulfill his desire to be reunited with Cesc Fàbregas.

With a header from '9' Sagna to center and a stunning volley with his left foot in 92 minutes to pass Song, Dutch comeback initialed in Liverpool (1-2) Arsenal will complete a blank seven seasons but can not afford to stay without participating in the next Champions League.

And that is Van Persie, whose commitment to the Gunners and winning character contributed decisively to secure fourth place in the Arsenal at odds with Chelsea, now three points behind after losing (1-0) yesterday in the stronghold of the West Bromwich Albion.

The '10' of all Arsene Wenger continues to trade upward pulling of a group that needs a miracle Tuesday at home against Milan to lift the first leg 4-0.

Although last week said that until the summer will not make a decision about their future without wanting to know about negotiating a contract that expires in 2013, Van Persie letting life continue until the last day for Arsenal.

At 28 and with only one FA Cup and Community Shield under his belt, each passing day works against the Gunners to keep him next season.

Van Persie has very mature determining land on another 'big' where you can choose to win league and the Champions League. He knows he can hardly do it at the Emirates Stadium.

However, just as the fans of Arsenal celebrates his goals almost a week after another, its top management, resigned to its likely progress, rubs his hands with the money that you can enter by Van Persie.

If Barça, who offered himself forward in the past winter market, attend the desire of the player, enter a bid higher. The Dutchman is probably the player most coveted by the most powerful clubs in the summer where you can further enhance your cache in the tournament. Would have to see how the club would strengthen its attack depending on your fitness needs and economic adjustments.

Meanwhile, Van Persie is still beating people. Officers with 31 goals in 36 games and 25 in the Premiership, live your best season and will be a tough opponent of Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo the Golden Boots. (via MD)

Barça already know how much to book if you decide to jump into the signing of Dutch striker of Arsenal.

Barça will know what economic parameters should be moved if it finally is released to include Robin van Persie (28 years) for the next season. Arsenal's Dutch striker is rated at 25 million euros by his club, which will resist selling for less money, but will play with a double-edged sword, since the player's contract ends on June 30, 2013 and at so you will not get compensation if not sold by the end of this course. It will be one of the best assets of the clubs that try to incorporate. Among them may also be Real Madrid, detail that can anticipate another pulse at the highest level between the two great of the League for the signing of Dutch.

At the end of this season will be news on the future of Arsenal captain. The player's agent, the Dutchman Kees Vos said yesterday SPORT season finale that will sit with the leaders of the club and coach, Arsene Wenger, to discuss possibilities for the future of striker, top scorer in the Premiership with 23 goals and a total of 33 in all competitions this season. "We never talked publicly about the situation of our players," he apologized, "but at the end of season talk with Arsenal," he said.

His coach, Arsene Wenger, who did not hesitate to give the captain's armband following the departure of Cesc Fàbregas he valued as one of the most important players of the club's recent history. "It's one of the players with best technique I've seen in the last 30 years. It is simply an exceptional player. "

Aware that most of their chances of winning titles through the good performance of Van Persie, Arsenal offered an interesting renewal, to the point that Van Persie can become the highest paid player not only the current template 'gunner' but the club's history, with a tab of around six million euros.

But the player has slowed until the end of the season any negotiations with Arsenal. Prefers to see how the market develops and what offers you receive in the coming months. "I love this club and I am a real gunner, but at the end of the season I will sit with the president and the coach and take a coffee," said the Dutchman recently.

What seems clear is that the club is launched to sign Van Persie clash with the idea of the London club to start laying the groundwork to build a competitive workforce again after several seasons of transition. The English club will struggle to keep Van Persie and surround him with some of the continent's most promising players (Mario Götze, Borussia Dortmund, is among the targets) and others with more experience, as Lukas Podolski, of Cologne, who and there would be an agreement.

Van Persie, fundamental in the Netherlands, participated in yesterday's friendly between his selection and England in Wembley Stadium despite dragging discomfort in the groin. (via SPORT)

The captain 'gunner' negotiate a pact with the club at the end of season and fuels speculation about his future.

Robin van Persie has decided to postpone until the end of this season negotiations for the renewal of his contract with Arsenal, which expires in 2013. In statements to the club magazine, Captain 'gunner' has justified its decision by the need to focus exclusively on the competition in football. Stance, however, further fueling speculation about a change of scenery. Van Persie would win a few months of tranquility avoiding peer pressure and, incidentally, would give him time to see to what extent are real information linking him to several European clubs, including Barça.

The Dutchman, 28 and top scorer in the Premier League with 22 goals, told the club's official media that "there have been many stories, often contradictory, about my situation and I would like to clarify. There is nothing complicated or strange. The club and I have agreed to speak at the end of season to see how things are. "The coach Arsene Wenger and general director Ivan Gazidis agree with the strategy. "We are all so comfortable," he said. Van Persie added that just wants to "stay focused on playing games against the tight schedule" that awaits the Arsenal.

Neither the Dutch nor the club can be avoided, however, that the fans see a negative background in all this for the umpteenth bad season Arsenal. The humiliation received at San Siro against Milan (4-0) in the first leg of the knockout stages of the Champions League, and the inability to recover the 17 points behind the leading English are strong arguments for Van Persie look an exit after eight years in London.

The forward looks askance at Barça in a while. Go to his friend Cesc triumph with the team azulgrana, with whom he has already won the Supercopa of Spain, the Euro and World Club, and would be happy to meet him at the Camp Nou in the event that Barça move tab that you have not done. Not the first time they've talked about this course, as already reported MD, nor the last. (via MD)

Barça was make a policy of austerity for the effort, 55 million more variables, it was last summer.

Barça do not think losing his head on the market next summer. The Blaugrana entity has set the figure of 25 million euros, or what is the same as recruiting a top-level single stepping to the next campaign. Both the director of professional football, Andoni Zubizarreta, as first team coach, Josep Guardiola, have assumed that unless the situation changed diametrically, will get tighten their belts. Of course, both remain intact commitment to the cantera, which is the basis of the current project Blaugrana, as SPORT said earlier this week.

There are several assumptions that help us understand the management decision Blaugrana. First, in the last season Barça has already made great efforts to recruit two top-level signings. Cesc Fàbregas and Alexis Sánchez have emerged as two major acquisitions, but accounted pay 55 million euros, 21.5 million and other variables that the club must pay on the next few years (five of them, deducted from the income of Cesc .)

Moreover, Josep Guardiola has always been in favor of a short staff and resort to affiliate when necessary. That bet will increase from June 30 for Marc MuniesaMartín Montoya, Marc Bartra and Jonathan Dos Santos. Also keep in mind that the Barcelona staff is young and in most cases still have a long road ahead.

Given that Guardiola has an extensive and excellent list of midfielders, doubts among sports officials is whether their efforts will focus on the signing of a defender or a striker. If a principle has been followed by very careful evolution of the Tottenham player Gareth Bale, that option has been somewhat in 'standby' because of the large sums that they can ask for him the Spurs and the hard competition may involve Manchester City, with a seemingly inexhaustible resources. The Welsh have contract until 2015.

There are several aspects that influence the decision. For example, the renewal of Carles Puyol, already under study, and the emergence of the kids in the cantera as Muniesa or Montoya. Also, check the evolution of long-term injuries, such as David Villa and Ibrahim Afellay.

One option that is managed for the defense is Milan's Brazilian Thiago Silva. This is a player who had already interested Barça and good relations with the entity Lombard, who is still paying the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, could help redress the operation as it was initially let down with a petition of forty million.

To the forward, Barça provides the option of Robin van Persie, the Arsenal striker already has 28 goals and eight assists in 34 games this season. Certainly his 'cache' is very high, but that contract ends in June 2013 and its decision not to renew the body force 'gunner' to negotiate a reasonable transfer price.

The way out of any player in the 'middle class', another important factor

The outline of the planning template for the next campaign are drawn but, of course, the objectives are still to be determined, in part because there may be some way out. Each season has been low in the template and can not rule out the progress of any of the players of the so-called 'middle class' in case it gets a good deal and the player wants to leave. Guardiola stays true to the idea of ​​managing a workforce relatively short, high quality and versatile players who can fully involved taking minutes. (via SPORT)

Van Persie and Cesc traveling on vacation to New York in May and there were together the Wembley final.

Reunited at the club with his close friend Cesc Fàbregas to fill a track record of great titles orphan is the dream of Robin van Persie. Together they have spent seven years at Arsenal costume fitting many disappointments. A Community Shield 2004 and a FA Cup 2005 is the poor booty as trophies celebrated Gunners. When last season ended, Catalan was already very clear that not still be in London. His fate could only be Barça and so passed it on to their environment. Van Persie is part of it.

In late May, both left on holiday to New York a few days making plans for Manhattan. The wife of the Dutch snapped them in the field of the New York Mets baseball. Van Persie hung it on Twitter, Cesc and another with a personalized Mets jersey. The next day saw from there the Wembley final. Bath felt envious of Barcelona to Manchester United although many more Van Persie knowing that Fàbregas end up yes or yes in the Camp Nou in the summer it almost alone staying in front of a dying Arsenal.

After signing for Barça, exchanges greetings and jokes on Twitter have been a constant. In private communication has been even more intense given the distance that separates them. Despite being nearly four years younger, the ascendancy of Fàbregas in Van Persie is very large. The Dutch feel admiration for the Catalan, who won the captain's armband for the Gunners just 21 years. He had to wait for 28. If you speak Cesc, Robin listens and it was in October 2010 when the Arenys given the name of Juan Ferrando, his personal trainer. Van Persie did not hesitate and since then has another link with the Barca leaving on file a record of 22 lesions in six years.

While enjoying a great time at Barça, Cesc is still suffering with his former team. Twitter yesterday did not hide his desire to see the repeat Arsenal 0-2 to Milan. It could not be attacked and then Robinho: "Why Robinho celebrates a goal only when it does all Ibra? Never understand that." Surely there was also a quick call to support Van Persie. (via MD)

The humiliation of San Siro may be the confirmation that your cycle at Arsenal's days are numbered.
Great friend of Cesc Fàbregas his secret dream is to return to play with him.

The humiliation of San Siro may be the confirmation that the cycle of Robin van Persie, Arsenal's days are numbered. The Dutch striker, who spent months resisting renew a contract with the Gunners expires in 2013, lived in Milan 4-0 to one of those nights that make a career. Great friend of Cesc Fàbregas his secret dream is to return to play with him.

Van Persie was Arsenal's best player at San Siro. He tried everything, but from the first leg of the knockout stages of the Champions League you know, but can not admit publicly that he will not play the fourth most desirable competition. The 4-0 fitted around the Emirates becomes a mere formality and, more importantly, is yet another argument for the captain 'gunner' does not find reasons for staying in a sports project that will not bring you titles missing from his resume. It was a hard blow, who confirmed that Arsenal is not according to what. Arsene Wenger himself admitted after the disaster at San Siro, his Arsenal "is out of Europe." No playing around, the surrender does not fit the mindset of a winning team, which aims Van Persie like before pursued Cesc.

Besides an early KO made ​​in the Champions League, Arsenal is 17 points off the lead in the Premier League. For many years, despite Wenger promises his stars to form a template with real aspirations of winning titles, history repeats itself. Summer to summer, the diaspora of the cracks threatening the project. Van Persie, so far, has endured because he loves the club and living in London, but his 28 years of glory ambition is not satisfied. Van Persie is a close friend of Cesc Fàbregas and would be happy to reunite with him at the club if you move from the Camp Nou tab. More when he saw Fàbregas in a few months with Barça has won three titles, is in a final and one foot in the quarterfinals of the Champions.

Van Persie inherited from Cesc the cuff 'gunner' and knows that his 28 years it is almost time to fly if you want glory. Contract Expires in 2013 and has spent months putting off Wenger on renewal. It is in the process that lived before Cesc or Nasri himself. Despite being several years younger than the Dutch both felt the need to change clubs to win titles: Cesc and Nasri has risen three and leads the Premier with the City. Van Persie went off in England as a hero even out this winter. It will be a major objective of the summer market, with the advantage that upon entering his final year of contract pricing for an eventual handover can not be exorbitant, unless an auction is set, as did Cesc, the very player may avoid narrowly defining your ideal destination.

Van Persie is a crucial point in his career and nights dire as those of Milan help you decide. Recently, transcended the interest from Real Madrid for his possible move, with the player's alleged statements that he denied. Moreover, it fits with Cristiano, Benzema and Higuain fighting for two positions was not clear or Jorge Valdano, who imagined him far more than FC Barcelona. It's true. Van Persie is the top scorer in the Premiership with 22 goals and football style, able to play as a striker at a touch, being an ambidextrous end since his days at Feyenoord and versatility to also act in midfield, will sit as a Barça glove. To make matters worse, left behind an episode of indiscipline. All this made of VP a crack with profile Barça. Watch out for him.

Twitter already given up for lost the Champions
Van Persie is a regular on Twitter but it took almost a whole day to rate the 4-0 against Milan but his comments could not hide his sadness for lost giving the Champions: "Bad result but now we win at Sunderland in the Cup . We will do everything to bring the FA Cup home. "That's all I have left. In addition, he thanked the fans who traveled to San Siro.

Robin van Persie yesterday flatly denied he had talked to Marca, which yesterday published the alleged statements by the Dutch: "I'm excited to play there but I do not think Arsenal agrees to negotiate."

The striker reacted Twitter: "I've never talked to Mark and I have never granted an interview. " As previously reported MD last week, the desire for Van Persie to play in Barcelona with his friend Cesc . Meanwhile, Jorge Valdano said in the SER that Robin "is more a necessity of Barça Madrid." (via MD)

Robin van Persie again showed yesterday is a first class footballer. After taking nearly seven years without lifting a trophy with Arsenal , the Dutch-based try to strengthen his candidacy goals to fulfill his desire to play at Barça next season by scoring three goals to two in the 7-1 Arsenal - Blackburn Rovers. With 22 points in 24 days, solidified his status as top scorer in the Premier League also expanding which is already his personal best after putting 18 last season.

Although the Gunners are still fifth in the English Championship to 17 points behind leaders Manchester City and no chance of singing a alirón that resists since the 2003-04 season, Van Persie is not fit and pulled the carriage of all of Wenger . Acting as false '9 ', broke down the wall putting the visitors two goals in the small area behind after coming from two separate centers Theo Walcott satins from the right. The 1-0 down to 80 seconds.

Van Persie broke not only instinct but enjoyed murderer released after the band further from its former habitat. In its eighth year at the club after landing at Highbury in 2004 from Feyenoord, the entire offensive game revolves around figure and assume that is how was 3-1 with a great assistance between the lines to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Van Persie initialed his second hat trick of the campaign (the first was in the Chelsea 3-5 at home) after setting a sensational turn of ankle center of Francis Coquelin. Was half an hour but the '10 ', 28, took part in the final 7-1 to serve on a platter the former Barca goal Thierry Henry. It was the eighth Dutch assistance in the current Premier. Only the canary David Silva (Manchester City) is surpassed in the ranking with 12 assists, making the incidence of Van Persie in the offensive flow Gunners is brutal. With 22 goals and 8 assists such, has directly intervened in 30 of the 46 goals of the league of London . Some numbers you want to bring him to his friend Cesc .

As reported by MD this week, Barça was raised to strengthen the staff in the winter market but was finally discarded the option. In addition to Carlos Tevez and Alexandre Pato, among the impressive list of names that were offered to Barca excelled that of Robin van Persie . The Dutch could not play the current edition of the Champions . Van Persie still renew with Arsenal and is released in 2013. Hence, this summer could force his departure. (via SPORT)

Barcelona sports vice president prefers that the team is focused on the game competitions and avoids talking about future signings.

Josep Maria Bartomeu was one of the players after the victory achieved by Barca against Real Sociedad. The Blaugrana's sporting vice president welcomed the three points, which allow continue fighting for the league title.

"It took, we had many chances and we played with different players, younger. We dominated from start to finish and the ball entered. But the game is what it is and we played well and in the end what matters is winning and we must thank Taylor for the goal. The important thing was to win and now we side by side with Real Madrid. "

Bartomeu had time to disprove an alleged meeting of the sporting with Arsenal's Dutch forward Van Persie: "There is nothing out news, but not the time.

Now we have to have batteries installed and focus on what is at stake. " The Blaugrana manager remembered the people who were at the Camp Nou despite the cold and time: "We are grateful that they did to all those who have come to the Stadium and hope to do likewise on Wednesday, which will be a night cold. We need our people because we have the opportunity to reach another final of the Copa del Rey. " (via SPORT)

A close friend of Fabregas, eager to win titles and gives long Arsenal in his renewal.
Contract Expires in 2013, played in three positions, Gole and is a star crack without going.
At 28 years, the Dutch striker force the machine to make the leap.

Robin van Persie comes on stage at Barca . Dutch striker Arsenal , top scorer in the Premier League with 19 goals, has gotten tired of not winning titles in the club 'gunner' and, at 28 years, he senses that is the ideal time to procure a record that of ' gunner 'has failed. This explains why Van Persie has given a long continuous Peter Hill-Wood on renewal. The 'chairman' of the London club since before Christmas, confirmed that talks to the extension of Van Persie contract postponed "until summer," solely because the player so ordered. What reasons can be moved to Van Persie not to sign for the club he has inherited the captain's armband to Cesc Fabregas ? Among others, the same that led to change the Arsenal Cesc to Barca: professional ambition.

A close friend of Cesc thanks to years of living 'gunner', Van Persie knows how well he goes to his colleague 'gunner' in the Camp Nou , with three titles in six months, more than those who managed together for years in the Arsenal, and would be happy to reunite with him.

Today, speaking market, Van Persie is like candy at the door of a school. Out of contract with Arsenal in June 2013, so the Emirates club, although he prefers to keep his best player and will try, he also knows that not convinced will soon be better to take what I can for him before he enters its last contract year, a factor that would lower their long march. In England it has been said that Van Persie, despite his feeling 'gunner', was raised even a change of air in the winter market avail itself of the 'transfer request', with the inevitable lurking City. He denied, but Van Persie forces the machine, as they did in summer Cesc or Samir Nasri. He has until today.

The 2011-2012 Barca seems determined to finish the course with what you have on staff, unless further declines may require you to act. When talking about the future is another matter. Van Persie is a tic-free mature crack, star of the current profile club.

Following the injury to David Villa, who will be sidelined for at least four months, from England was speculation yesterday with a possible interest of Barcelona for Robin Van Persie . The Dutch contract ends in June 2013 and so far has not renewed its links with the whole 'gunner', which would force Arsenal to transfer this summer if you want to receive any money for it.

Himself Van Persie winked a few days ago to Barcelona by stating that "when not playing, I only see matches of Arsenal and Barça. He alone deserves an exception." (via MD)

Arsenal's Dutch forward praised the FC Barcelona.

The Arsenal player Robin van Persie admitted that on TV "sees only Arsenal matches and Barça." He also says that for him, FC Barcelona is the only team that "can win games by playing nice."

It is not the first time that Arsenal's Dutch forward speaks well of FC Barcelona and even sometimes sounded as futuristic to play for Barça. But this time, in which Van Persie says that "I'm still a lover of the beautiful game and always will but I have become more realistic," he also recognizes that you can not always play nice and pretty, but stands as Barca exception.
