So Arsene have you the balls in your court? Alex And Roberto are flirting big time with yet another of your precious assets. City will pay him a tidy sum of £220.000 a week (not at all outrageous), but does the colour blue suit him?

Fergie will use his wiles to lure him into a duet with Rooney and a promise of sure fire Resurgence of the Red side of Manchester as they seek to reclaim their throne. He looks good in red but oooh the fallout, going over the the dark side, leaving Wenger and the Gunners looking jilted and betrayed by the guy who got then to 3rd place, last season.

Wenger yet again watches seemingly helplessly as another of his prize assets/offspring leave the nest of the Emirates for more attractive offers and promise of greater success elsewhere. Clearly someones hands are tied here if the club cannot hold on to their star players season after season, despite consistently being in the top 3 and Champions League.????

Methinks wage structure, blueprint for future spending and capability of, or real promise to win the Silverware is not conducive to keep the top talent at the club.

Back to Rvp, where he goes depends on the price tag, the wages and the club he thinks he will thrive in and win some medals. Of course Wenger and Arsenal will Not want him going to his Arch nemesis Fergie nor his new Nemesis Mancini. That would be just a serious rubbing of salt into the wound and a constant reminder of what should have been.

So Wenger and Sons can hold out for the European money and clubs to come in and thwart any deals with those thorns in his side in the North. Who has the best Poker face, who has all the cards, or even appears to have??? He'll be a brave man to go  north and risk the wrath of the Arsenal, but I think he'll get over it, why wouldn't he.

My money which I shall take out of Adebayors paycut, ( poor guy ain't going to get £175,000 no more and Moneypenny doesn't want him), I'll get a fiver from him before he heads to Moscow for the winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. (not).

My money is on Manchester and if I were to pick Red or Blue I would think the Reds might shade it because Van Persie will be persuaded by Fergie that he will consistently get a game, he will play with Rooney instead of Ballsontelly and he will be part of a rebuilding empire.

But the current money is on the Blues having it as it appears that  Fergie hasn't played his hand yet (if current reports are to be believed). Fergie will let it play out, Wenger will play hardball as will Van Persies agents. Either way he is Manchester bound. I may lose me fiver yet. Red or blue the dice are rolling place your bets Ladies and Gentlemen.

Meanwhile back at the Lane, we shall get a princely some for wantaway Luka and buy us some Brazilian talent with a little Moutinho added in.
