Anyone else think RVP is NOT worth the money

I don't think his quality is in question.  Although he's had lots of injuries I think this "he's only had one good season" line sounds more like bitter Arsenal fans and/or ABUs.

However, it's certainly a big fee for a player at his age with his record.  If they get 3 full years from him he'll be a great buy but it could easily backfire.  That said, very few big transfers come without risk and Man Utd have needed a couple of top class signings for a while.  They're still at least one top class central midfielder short imo.

Great, great player.

Lot of money though when you factor in his wages (a 4 year deal of 180k p/w plus 22m signing fee = nearly £60m) and the fact they'll be getting very little back at the end of that deal.

Over rated bully boy   His temper cost arsenal on many occasions   At the centre of the Dutch rows as usual spends half of the season out with fake injuries or stupid bookings and sending offs
Apparently only half the arsenal team and less of the Dutch team wouldn't p iss on him if he was on fire

rooney and rvp up front for united??? frightening!!! worth every penny

love the way he carried arsenal all season.. i mean he set himself up for 30 league goals.. well done..RVP..

Louis van Gaal probably doesn't think he is, he's dropped him from the Dutch side and told him Huntelaar is his first choice striker.

No way (nap)

dont think hes dropped him cos of his footballing abilities.....

Edward=Shrewd

Edward's a clueless idiot in fairness.

Ah dont forget his life threatning injury scare though

pmsl,some right tools shown up for what they are on here!

just cos he's not good enough for international football doesn't mean he isn't good emough for the EPL.

he is worth that money to man utd as long as he keeps winning them points.

United fans in response to City's "She said no";


"He said no City, he said no
He said no City, he said no
He said no City, he said no
Ohhh Robin he said no"

And then he scores the winner in injury time. Top top day

Good owl Edward been shown up for the complete clown that he truly is.

UTD are schit

This has been an incredible season as far as come backs etc and i salute their resilience ( dou to Fergie ) but this team is so feckin ordinary it ain't even funny and I don't see them "changing gears"

I think Man City will kick on now and win it comfortably and am certain Chelsea will catch and pass Utd

Very Very ordinary for a UTD team ( The plastics will lambast this theory ) and will be found out badly from here on and Real Madrid will put at least 4 past them in Spain

Evans & Wio are a bit of a liability now and Scholes and Giggs are a circus act ( couple of clowns ) and good for fukkkall nowadays


This chap is quite something...from another thread...he's at it again

Bit early to say Mr Woodward is wrong. I guess judgement will be passed at the end of the season if they have won one more trophy than last season

Very average utd side but that's all they have to be to be top of the epl
Some seriously bad sides in that league
Best league in the world my ass

Agreed that it's a very average Utd side but nobody looks like beating them to the title despite their main rivals spending a billion each.

Great Thread Eddy

THANK YOU ROBIN

supernaturally gifted player. even manages to land first goalscorer bets without actually being on the pitch when the first goal goes in.

This one's a Classic.Happy New Year Ed

£310k p/w in wages and transfer fee - good business now although might not be so good come year 3 or 4 of the contract - smacks like a deal done for the now by a manager who wont be worrying about 3 or 4 years time - it will be someone elses problem then.

i dont support man ure but I would have van the man in my team any day!!

The OP is one of the many t0ssers who frequent this forum, obviously.
However, this issue is a bit like the Euro. It should be judged in the longer term.

This just keeps getting more and more embarrassing,No wonder Edward the Coward is in hiding,Understandable in fairness.

Another shrewdie emerges!

He has shown in the Dutch team that he is not "all that"

extra shrewdie points awarded for writing in the style of a 12 year old American girl.

Where would this average (compared to previous seasons) United side be without his goals?

City would be 3 points closer from the Manchester derby for a start.

Then off the top of my head he single handedly won them the game at Southampton, and scored winners against Liverpool, West ham and Reading. No doubt there's a few others too

Looking like a bargain really.

Cookie muncher you miss the point a little...you can remove RVP and insert Rooney in previous seasons and before that Ronaldo...

Someone always steps up... I saw a stat that utd would be 4th without RVP's goals... don't really follow that one as someone else would have stepped up to take the mantal...obviously not to the same degree as this chap but 4th do me a favour.

mantle even

Rooney's missed a fair bit of this season though, didn't score his first goal until 20 October and has actually only scored in four league games. So perhaps the RVP stat isn't that far fetched.

Be interesting to check how many points City wouldnt have got without Dzeko goals

Rooney's missed a fair bit of this season though, didn't score his first goal until 20 October and has actually only scored in four league games. So perhaps the RVP stat isn't that far fetched.

This does not mean a lot... he would have been playing a bit further forward without van persie..possibly as the sole front man with Kagawa in behind.

And if he'd been out injured who is to say Chicharito would not have stepped up to fill the void.

"And if he'd been out injured who is to say Chicharito would not have stepped up to fill the void"




Geniunely don't believe (and i'm sure you don't either) that he'd have made the same impact as RVP. For a start he never seems to have as much of an effect when he starts games. Seems to be Solksjaer mark II, always scoring off the bench.

What's his goal record like for games started/games on as sub over his United career?

Not to the same level but I think he'd have stepped in and filled the void with Welbeck until Rooney was back. My point is someone usually steps up...it is the mark of Ferguson teams...how else do you explain every year you're reading the same pish...'utd are so average but for XXXXX'

if rvp had joined another big club for similar money, a man u fan would probably have started this thread

I'll confess I have doubts about the deal...but have been shown up to be a mug...just not quite as big a mug as Edward.

Abu alert and a big yawn.....

theyve been living on a wing and a prayer for years now. there is nothing special about united, nothing apart from RVP, take him out and who wouldve 'stepped up', rooneys been there donkeys years now and always flatters to deceive, sometimes hes good then bad then good then bad, i blush when i hear of comparisons with messi and ronaldo, its like comparing steak to a cheesburger of which the fat chain smoker is all too familiar with theyve won what theyve won cos fergies constant haranguing of Referees and influencing key decisions, everybody in football knows thats why he got so flustered with pardrews comments -  'rattled', edward has made a complete tit of himself but the point about united being distinctly average is a correct one


only a matter of time before the empire collapses

Get out the abu siren, seal down the hatches...........

u cant keep passing everyones comments as being an abu, its weak and predictable just face it, i couldnt care less if united win the title or not, im calling a spade a spade

coming out with the same old drivel we hear every year!!!

DeSSie,

United have been sh1t for years. It is all coming to an end and has been for at least ten years now. SAF should not have changed his mind about retirement, ok he has won another Champions League and a few more Premierships and Cups since then but with a sh1t team and only because he bullies referees.

Jammiest club ever. How the hell they have the following record in the league in the last twenty years is bewildering;

Winners 12 times
Runners up seven times
3rd once

RVP is holding them together, just like Rooney did before him. They were lucky Ronaldo was there before that and Keane just before him. Got really jammy signing Van Nistlerooy and who would have thought SAF bringing through those spotty kids Beckham, Neville, Scholes, Giggs, Butt would win them a f ucking treble. That idiot Wilkinson stupidly sold them Cantona and he started the whole ball rolling for them but he wasn't that great either, just some hit and hopes that kept going in.

Manchester United ruined my life too. Off for my hourly medication now.

Yes its all been downhill and doom and gloom.......

"Yes its all been downhill and doom and gloom"




it has been for Over 2.5, most miserable United fan ever. Imagine what he'd be like if you were actually sh*te.

Is he still on the forum?

We haven't seen him but don't expect to unless we lose a game or fail to win the league by 10 points.

hes usually trying to p1ss people off on the boxing forum with his drivel.
as for ayer rock, a clueless liverpool supporting ****. thick as well.

i dont support liverpool

ur still upeset as an everton fan after i challenged apoint made tht everton are not a match for any team in england if all first choice teams were fit, actually an embarassing statement the longer I think about it

i dont support liverpool (just incase u forgot to read it the first 4 times)

.

how many goals has he scored for united

Edward will answer that if he ever has the balls to appear back on his thread

complete waste of money, all he does is score goals for fun... now torres there's a bargain, always missing and running around..more for your money.

Waaayhaaaaaay who brought this little nugget back

It is still not set on stone that he will be a success as this thred was based around his injury record and as far as I can see 20+ mill for 5 months is not value for money YET

He has been the best striker in the Prem for many a year thus far but for me he has to do it for a few seasons to make him worth that much money so lets see if he can keep scoring and stay injury free

But don't let any of these facts get in the way of a good ssssseeeeth or troll

If he stays healthy and keeps this form up I will happily take a shellacking from the PLASTICS ( if they haven't melted in the sun by then )

Keep it stored with your lovely picture gallery ROypist , it might keep you warm at night as it is your sole purpose in life to try and be a true Man Utd fan and larf at anyone who isn't , hence your pathetic picture collection sad boy

ROy drove past Old Trafford once that makes him a proper fan

NO , he was "driven" past Old Trafford on the Sunshine mini bus on a day trip

Window licking reeeetard

edward what a clueless bellend

Edward is very Shrood as you can tell by his 2 anti united threads

no mention of the sitter(s) he missed Wednesday

Evening Edward
