Van Gaal will build the team around him, and he'll score 20+ goals next season. Dangerous striker indeed.

I agree. Good to see an Arsenal fan who isn't bitter about him (or at least will still give him the credit he deserves).
I think he'll be lethal next season. Time isn't on his side though, so I'd probably expect to see a decline after the next season or two.

How many full seasons did he have? 4 mayeb 5? He's as fresh as anyone.
I bet he has better legs/knees/ankles than Rooney. Waynes been on the go now non stop, 4 competitions a season for 10 years + Plus 5 International competitions

True, but you wouldn't expect him to carry on at a world class level going into his mid thirties. Not to say he won't play at an high level for a good few years yet, but I mean him at his very best.

He'll always be lethal. But I think 2 more seasons like you said. He'll begin to physically slow down come 33.
I expect him to still be playing at 35 though. As a squad option, like Bergkamp was.
Jesus, I remember the day we signed him. Careers come and go in the blink of an eye.

I know it's scary isn't it. I'm about the same age as him and I remember him being the promising youngster for you guys. I dread to think how old I'll feel when he retires!

When he first came, he was breezing past players at such speed, with such guile and unbelievable ball control, I thought he'd be the best in the world.
Injuries definatly slowled his play down, and he never gets passed players using skill. He would have been immense as a LW/RW in the modern 4/3/3.

Van Persie will perform well, but the problem is that the other players in the Dutch NT suck lol
Van Gaal made RvP the captain of the Dutch NT so I doubt anyone else than RvP will be the new captain of Man Utd.
Does he deserve to be captain though, I'd rather he gave it to Evra, DDG, Carrick, Evans just to ensure there is no spite between Rooney or RVP.

Still wish he was lacing up those boots for Arsenal.
