Juventus will slap in early bid for Arsenal ace Van Persie this week

Juventus intend to make an opening £20 million offer this week for Arsenal striker Robin van Persie.

The Daily Star Sunday says the Turin side will look to offer straight cash – but may also be willing to throw long-term Arsenal target Felipe Melo into the deal if needed.

Van Persie, 27, has spent large chunks of the last three seasons out with injuries – and boss Arsene Wenger has had to be thankful for the start shown by summer signing Marouane Chamakh this season.

The Dutchman himself may also be tempted by a new challenge, especially if the north London club does not manage to end its silverware drought this season.

Serie A is tougher???! nice joke buddy! yeah ur right by the way-its Tough coz the players have to produce Fixed Results n act innocent in front of the Crowd! or wait,is it tough coz the players have to cope with a lot of Violence in the Stands??! :D
whatever it is,the Prem League is the toughest league to play in,n the most interesting...all the other leagues are way below in terms of Competition n toughness!
RVP will steer Arsenal with 20+ goals in all competitions 4m now on,dont u see how Fantastic he was against Birm City n Chelsea???! he's better than Chamakh,n Arsenal's 1st Choice Striker..
Proud to be a GUNNER........

TAKE IT! if you can get 20M for VP then you have done VERY well... he doesnt score many goals and he is ALWAYS injured... sell him for 20M plus Melo and then sell one of your defensive mids and buy Jovetic from Fiorentina!
