-Robin van Persie has just annonuced he will now be renewing his contract with Arsenal.
Oh, that was a typo. Will
not be renewing his contract with Arsenal.
Ahh, darn it. I thought that was good news. I was hoping Van Persie would stay. Oh well.
That will certainly put Arsenal's hopes back down a notch if they decide to sell Van Persie. At least this time around, it'll be early enough in the summer to properly re-invest the money if Wenger decides to do so. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. Just made a small signing to plug a hole and then look to replace Van Persie at some point in the future.
Anyway, have to wait and see. I'll tentatively keep Arsenal as my favourite for fourth place for now.
