Any pictures of him yet in Manchester?

**se7en** · 16-08-2012, 16:18

^ Yep

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 16-08-2012, 16:23

Hasn't arrived for his medical yet so no pictures.

**Sideshow Bob** · 16-08-2012, 17:28

Here's a pic, Berba_God:

**Speedy** · 16-08-2012, 17:41

Some people are saying that photo is from London... No idea who's correct.

**Sideshow Bob** · 16-08-2012, 17:47

Here's a new one for everyone: van Persie has failed the medical. He has a severely damaged back after carrying a full squad last season. hahahaha

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 16-08-2012, 18:13

That picture is from London.

I done that too haha! Started a new career mode and brought in RVP, Kagawa, Powell. Exciting season ahead of us. Hope we can start it off with a win at Goodison park, be a massive boost. Our team will probably have the 'You score 4 and We'll score 5' mentality with the great forwards we have.

Can't put into words how good this season could be, City winning the league has definitely pissed off Ferguson.

My heart momentarily stopped then because I heard that joke yesterday so I thought that post was going to lead onto something serious. Heart literally started palpitating. Thank you Sideshow Bob!! haha

Sorry for being a bit naive, but...

**Sideshow Bob** · 16-08-2012, 20:05

Haha, sorry lads. The 'joke' has been doing the rounds.

**Lewis F** · 16-08-2012, 20:23

RVP finally arrives at Bridgewater hospital at around 9:10pm...

As we're in joke mode (this may fly over non-Brits' heads): As a result of Van Persie joining United, Rooney will be positioned out on the right so he can pass to the Dutchie on the left hand side.

Passed his medical. Fortunately all those years of carrying Arsenal on his back haven't impacted his fitness.

Thank god, be nice to see him make an instant impact on Monday. Still hasn't sunk in properly that we've signed RVP!

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 16-08-2012, 23:42

Going to be weird watching him every week. Hadn't realised how many assists he's made for Arsenal, scored and assisted 52 goals for Arsenal last season. That's a hell of a lot. Wonder how many of those assists are from set pieces.

**Cordon726** · 17-08-2012, 09:29

There is a photo of him signing United shirts last night.

**Speedy** · 17-08-2012, 10:08

Deals been completed.

Reds confirm Robin van Persie signing - Official Manchester United Website

**Cordon726** · 17-08-2012, 10:14

God ur quick at posting!  literally within a second of it Being up u post it!
What number will he have?

**Speedy** · 17-08-2012, 10:23

Not been announced yet. The press conference to officially announce him is at 2pm so will be announced then.

He did however wear a training top with the number 31 on when he signed his contract although I doubt that will be his squad number.
