That's Arsenal's 5th captain sold in 7-8 years? Good business from Arsenal though. Selling van Persie for £24m. He's injury prone and in the last year of his contract. Although it's said that they only get £15m for him now, with the rest being in add-ons.
I hope for Wenger's sake that he gets in a replacement before the current transfer window shuts. But I also hope for Liverpool's sake that they don't, as that'll make it easier for us to fight for top 4 (if we can stay in the fight this time). But on the other hand I would much rather Arsenal beat us to top 4 than Spurs, since I quite like Arsenal.
Arsenal always sell their best players and get written off and every season they manage to get into the top 4, so I won't bet against them finishing in the top 4.
