Van Persie signs for United

[Benno_900]

Interesting question posed on RedCafe ... Who will be taking the Man Utd pens now?

RvP has only ever missed 3 in his Arsenal career. That said, United get more pens in one season than Arsenal get in 8 ...

She has nothing on Sagna's wife.

Hopefully RVP. Rooney isn't actually a great penalty taker.

That will sit well with Rooney.

rooney goes left and low practically every time i've seen him take a penalty. only varies if there's more than 1 in a game.

Rodney Marsh making a mare of it

"Van Persie is Ferguson's last-ditch effort to reclaim the title back from Manchester City," Marsh told BBC Sport.
"It tinges a touch of desperation on Manchester United's part based on the fact that they have spent an incredible amount of money for an ageing player."

and then....

Marsh added: "I still feel City are the favourites, they are the team to beat. But when you throw in the wildcard of Van Persie, he is probably the one player that could take Manchester United back to the top.

Last eight seasons:

United penalties: 46
Arsenal penalties: 45

Brilliant ****ing news, it just keeps getting better and better for Spurs after that colossal failure. Now once Song goes to Barcelona, Arsenal will officially be a wreck.

Still not over the 5-2 boy ? Good buisness for both clubs, he's fragile rvp and about to turn 30, so 24 mill is a big risk, however to take on man city ferguson had to go for one of the league's best and he's landed him now. Looks like we'll have to train podolski/giroud up so when the manc clubs come calling we'll have yet another ready made replacement for them.

Haha.

What's the legitimate pen count?

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Haha.

Dunno, I couldn't find the stats for that. Probably about ten each.

To answer the question though, I expect it would still be Rooney until he misses one.

MUTV currently going dutch.

Best of showing right now

With some really ****ing shocking music

Arsenal had the fewest penalties last season. None at home.

 

[windyhill]

What's a penalty ?

 

[mojito]

RVP to wear 20 apparently

You'd have to think that he'd change next season.

Unless Evra is off and Fabio take #3

Yeah short term.

If Berb or Hernandez leave he will take one of those.

Yep. Have topped the table on more than occasion in the last decade too. United have finished in the bottom half on a few occasions as well.

Not the worst number when it comes to strikers at United.
