This. The dutch media and most people here had mostly written off this team as being in transition and that we would be lucky to get through the round of 16. Instead we went all the way to the semi's to become third. Even humiliating brazil again for the third place with 3-0.

He made the only right decision that season, joining a title-hungry United and was promised by Sir Alex to lead the line. No matter what Arsenal fans think of him, he will always be a Prem great and one of the most deadly finishers of the ball, especially with his volleys. Keep up the good work man

When I was a kid there were three Dutch teens everyone was raving about. Van Der Vaart, Robben and Van Persie. They all played for different teams in the Dutch big three at the time. Van Der Vaart was by far the most hyped! People were tipping him to become the best player in the world. Robben was number two and Van Persie was way behind them. But you could make a solid augment that Van Persie became the best player of the three. Him and Robben took a little bit of time to reach world class status and Van Der Vaart peaked quite early and never pushed on to reach his potential.

Hella late. But never. Van Persie is my personal favourite footballer ever. Together with Zidane. Any parallels to be found in regards to technique? ;) But Robben? Oh... Robben. Robben was arguebly the best player after CR7 and Messi in his day. Robben is underrated by many. Robben is seriously one of the best players, taking consistency as well, of the last 2-3 decades. I LOVE RvP. But he isn't close to Robben. Not domestically, European or internationally.

My Favourite Football Player Ever Robin Van Persie 🔥🔥 Premier league Legend🔥🔥

Sir Alex had strong belief and brought Rvp to Man Utd on summer 2012. Actually, Man utd planned to buy Lewandowski but when Sir Alex know that Rvp want to leave Arsenal, he didnt think twice. You may think that Lewan would be better signing but at that time, Sir Alex needed a proved striker in PL to get the PL champions right away so he could retire (in fact he wanted to retire in the end of 2011-2012 season but the title's loss to Man City due to goals differences hurt him). Manutd even could get further in Champions League that year if Nani didnt get a questionable red card vs Real Madrid

As an Arsenal fan i cant blame him, hindsight proved him right Arsenal had no ambition RVP did and the results speak for themselves. You can call him a snake all you want but it doesn't change the fact that only 1 out of the 2 has a tital in the past 15 years. If RVP bottled it like Alexis Sanchez did then people wouldnt care anywhere near as much. RVP is just a focal point for Arsenal fans to outlet there frustrations for an era they could and should have done better, which is even more pronounced with how far Arsenal have fallen.

RVP also claims that Arsenal were not offering him a new contract, I suspect, because Wenger thought that RVP's earlier injury problems would prematurely terminate his career. Which after one good season at United, they appear to have done.

Lot of people saying this channel is underrated. Not at all only 4 months in and nearly 1 million views and just under 10k subs. Some people have 4 years in and not near them numbers. Keep it going, your on the right track. I’m Neither A Arsenal fan nor A Utd fan, but RVP was a quality player with a exquisite left foot. Only Rivaldo had a left foot better than him IMO. Ferguson even said after retiring that he felt sorry for RVP because he told him when he signed that he was stopping at Utd for a few more years. Shame because you seen the difference he made in just one season under Ferguson. Fantastic player.

my hero growing up as a teen.. absolutley broke my heart when he left

His off the ball movement was the best especially during his United years. Always disappeared and then appeared with a goal. Its a magic show. I learnt a lot by watching him.

RVP was so good to watch, his technique was smooth as fuck and he was really clever at opening up space for himself. Great footballer.

Van Persie was my first footballing idol, I was devastated when he went to United. Still a legend though. His body of wondergoals is unbelievable.

As an Arsenal fan, I actually don’t mind him anymore. I’ve actually managed to heal from him going to Yanited. If anything, if his interview where he explained why he went there is anything to go by, him going to Man U is more of an indictment on Arsenal & he was well within his rights to leave & he definitely made the right decision considering that Arsenal were less concerned with winning the league from that point onwards (Especially when Wenger came out & said top 4 is as good as a trophy)

As an Arsenal fan, I remember the resentment at the time towards RVP for leaving to United. For me, having watched our best players and talismans shipped off for years up to that point, this was really the icing on the cake after Henry, Cesc, Nasri, Song... But for the moments he brought as an Arsenal player, I can only really remember him for his absolute hammer of a left foot. Just incredible.

Robin was desperate to stay Loyal to Arsenal (in regards to leaving for Juve instead of Utd so he didn’t have to go to one of Arsenals fiercest rivals) but Gazidis and Koronke forcefully insisted he went to Utd because they were paying more. Robin went to Utd but he will FOREVER remain an Arsenal legend to me.

I am a great fan of Fenerbahce and Rvp. He was absolutely wonderful and unique player. Great video I appreciate that

Funny how we as the dutch, considering the NT we had the discussion RVP or Huntelaar and from a international pov RVP it's not even a discussion. Suggestions for a video: Robben or Van Basten.

I always felt he was too tall to be as fluid as he was, some of his tight technical footwork just seemed like someone his size should never be able to pull off so cleanly.

Van Persie actually looked like Nasri in that first picture as a kid, that's interesting.

was in my fifa squad with falcao in 2015 absolute beasts

Robben left the chat ... Great video as always

So interesting...RVP just spoke about his leaving arsenal for the first time and why it happened the way it did. Apparently Arsene Wenger never offered him any future contract or any hint that it would happen so he had to look for other options. He didn't say that he definitely would have stayed but at least then he would have had a choice to make. Hard to stay when you feel like your manager doesn't want you... Anyway I am an arsenal fan and an RVP fan. Glad he got a title and at least the one good season with the gunners.

Like do they even watch the Bundesliga? Dude was the best striker in the world after Lewa for over a year and there are still doubts (and yes I don't rate Benzema, go away).

When fully fit, he was complete. fucking incredible. scored on either foot, headers, volleys, set pieces, link up, one v one skill. so great to watch.

Crazy that in a few months his iconic WC header will turn a decade old. Time flies, just like RVP.

I got a great vibe from you fam. Sub.

I was waiting for this one a while now. Can you do Clarence Seedorf or Pablo Aimar. A shout out if you do🤷🏾‍♂️

Sitting in the dressingroom with Bergkamp and Henry totally changed his attitude, it humbled him and they showed him talent alone is not enough. His extremely down to earth wife has had big hand in it too probably. He told on Dutch TV that if his clothes are on the ground his wife calls him, shows him what was on the ground, drops it again on the floor and makes him clean up his own sh*it, I think that is a great big tell, he was laughing and proud when he told the story, he is not a star at home

When Van persie decided to join man united. Was in the 8-2 loss to man united and realized he was in the wrong team😂

He's currently taking strong sensible steps towards becoming a manager. We have not seen the last of RvP.

Brilliant thumbnail and video

He was a sensational footballer. It always hurts as a Arsenal fan that we really only got one season out of him, but you can't really begrudge him going for the title. Its also mildly amusing for us that after we stuck by him all that time through his nonense and injuries to only get one season, he moved to United and got... one season before it went to shit. Weirdly poetic. But yeah, fantastic footballer and whilst I'd have loved for him to have spent his whole career with us, he also deserved a title and it wasn't going to happen with us at the time.

With so many bad players coming to Arsenal, and the ship going down, I can understand him moving to a team with chances of winning the EPL, I didn't like it tho, and still don't.
