In October 2011, when Wayne Rooney was frustrated with the performances of Manchester United, the striker voiced his intention to leave Old Trafford for greener pasture, claiming United had lost its winning mentality with the media rating him at £80 million in valuation before clubs started scrambling for his signature. However, the England international later rescinded his decision to leave and sign a new improved deal to remain at Old Trafford.
But in January last year, Chelsea paid a whopping £50 million to Liverpool to acquire the service of Fernando Torres. Since his move, Torres has only managed to net a mere 5 goals for the London club, while Rooney had netted 9 goals in the Premier League this season so far. However, Arsenal’s Robin van Persie has bagged 29 league goals in 28 games for The Gunners since his return in January last year, which has undoubtedly helped Arsenal climb the table in recent weeks. some might even say RVP is the backbone of Arsenal.
So in terms of valuation, who should be priced the highest?
If Torres cost Chelsea £50 million and United put a hefty £80 million price tag on Rooney, then Van Persie should be priced, at present, at around £95 million! Because the Dutchman is more prolific than Wayne and Fernando combined!
If RVP can remain injury-free for the entire season, I am pretty sure he will be able to score up to 35 goals in all competitions for Arsenal.

I belive you……….
vanpersie iz worth more than that
Robin worth more than £95m he worths’ like £120m consider his form. Unlike Toress who cause £5om scoring 5 goals, so Robin price should be multiply by 3 with toress amount.
Van persie must sign now and his weekly wages should be around 150k.
To all d club director. try to confuse vp to stay,but if he refuse sell him,but used the money to buy mature player. not premature. we still hv caling cup & fa to play, if we don’t quality players. D job will collapse
Rvp,can not and never be compared to rooney and tores,vanpersie is beter than the both players put together.
RVP should not go pls, for ny reason up gunners.
Robin Van Peper worth more than £95m, His price tag should be £150m. Arsene Wenger buy players that will support the powerforce of the club and win trophys for us and the fans will be happy for once.
Van persie worth more than that. I will like to say considering his form, he worth 200m. Put 3 striker like rooney, torres and tevez.
RVP can not be compared to any of these boys cos he is better than both of them put together. RVP is wort 150m for an estimate
He worth more than 95million his price tag shuld 180milliön
he’s tripple better than those two. Bt aint sellin him! He’z our own!
To me,RVP’s value is inestimable.A rare gem both in size & quality.
OH!!! ROBIN pls stay on your HOME!!! mean that stay on ARSENAL like BERCKAMP(10)
well said…for me RVP is priceless for arsnl
Lets nt talk about da price tag of RVP, instead plead with him 2 stay at emirate.At one point Henry wanted 2 leave bt da oneness by made him 2 stay.come on gunners,we can convince RVP.
yes RVP is greater than the two
They are not fit to carry his sandals
he really deserve trophy. plus he is not after the money however the greedy club is neither strengthen the club nor paying him his real salary.
but taking an advantage of him. suck up
arsenal is champion
I would like rvp to stay at arsenal. Pls wenger, tie him up to a long term contract just like how verminator or tv5 did
Totally wrong valuation. Van persie is an injury prone player and as good as he might be, he is still 4 years older than Rooney, so that affects his valuation in terms of Rooney. Every one know that Torres was over priced and Chelsea just happened to have the money to pay.
v/p is worth more than 95mp, but can arsene wenger can pay him 170 or 200 per week.
this time he is hero.
RBV. is a mighty for arsenal, so i see no reason why the club can’t keep him. Weger, u’re to blame if vp leave emirate. please persuade him not to leave emirate.
I don’t understand why Fabregas was ever captain of Arsenal to be honest, unless he demanded it when he signed his last contract. RvP is ideal as captain and TV5 is obviously a better captain than Cesc. It could be down to their injury records but since when do you pick captains based on whether you think they’ll be injured ? Whatever RvP is golden every game, the iceman returneth, consistency personified.
RVP is useless jst sell him we shud not only depend on 1 player only
RVP is the best striker in the premiership now.i rather think he should be valued at 115 rather than 95.we need one potent striker to back him now n i think we should be expecting alex-chamberlain to do that..
